Our Mission

Our mission statement is: Loyalty and Data…that’s what we do.

We are an acquisitions-focused, e-commerce holding company. Since 2018, we developed our unique SoPa branded platform and acquired our #HOTTAB and Leflair ecosystems to facilitate e-commerce transactions between our consumers and our merchants in Southeast Asia (“SEA”) (including Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Brunei) and South Asia (including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, and Pakistan). Our marketing platform empowers small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) to benefit from e-commerce opportunities in developing and frontier markets across SEA and South Asia, driving job-creation and economic growth in two of the world’s most dynamic regions. We intend to continue to opportunistically acquire regional e-commerce companies and applications to drive revenues and increase the number of registered consumers and merchants in our SoPa ecosystem. As more merchants and consumers in SEA and South Asia register on our Society Pass platform, more transaction data is generated. With more data generation, there are more opportunities for creating loyalty from consumers to merchants.

Our Market Opportunity

 

We expect that continued strong economic expansion, robust population growth, rising level of urbanization, the emergence of the middle class and the increasing rate of adoption of mobile technology provide market opportunities for our Company in SEA and South Asia. SEA and South Asia are large economies and, as of 2020, their respective gross domestic products (“GDP”) were US$3.1 trillion and US$3.5 trillion, respectively. In comparison, the respective GDP for both the European Union (“EU”) and the United States (“US”) totaled US$15 trillion and US$20.8 trillion in 2020. SEA has experienced rapid economic growth rates in recent years, far exceeding growth in major world economies such as Japan, the EU and the US. According to the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) since 2010, SEA has averaged 4.6% GDP growth, compared to 0.7% for Japan, 0.8% for the EU and 1.7% for the US. Vietnam’s GDP growth averaged 6.1% from 2011 to 2020 and is expected to average 7% for the next five years. The size of Vietnam’s economy grew from US$39 billion in 2000 to US$340 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach US$530 billion by 2025. SMEs are a dynamic, driving force in Vietnam’s economy, contributing 40% to its GDP last year. Similarly, according to IMF, South Asia has averaged 5.2% annual GDP growth since 2010 with the size of the economy of South Asia growing from US$2 trillion in 2010 to US$3.3 trillion in 2020.

 

7 
 

 

Both SEA and South Asia continue to enjoy robust population growth. The United Nations Population Division estimates that the population of the SEA countries in 2000 was approximately 525 million people growing to 668 million in 2020. Vietnam has a population of approximately 98 million people today compared to 80 million people in 2000.1 According to the United Nations, the population of South Asia totaled 1.9 billion people in 2020 with 1.3 billion people in India alone.

This population growth is driving rising levels of urbanization. Mirroring the demographic trends in China more than 25 years ago, Vietnamese are moving to cities in greater numbers. In the past two decades, Vietnam’s urbanization rate has increased steadily at approximately 3% per year since 2000, with 36% of the population now living in cities. By comparison, India’s urban population has increased over 2% per year since 2000, with 34% of India’s population living in cities. India’s capital, New Delhi, adds almost a million new inhabitants a year.

This urbanization trend is highly correlated with the growth of the middle class. Simply put, urbanization drives middle class consumption demand. According to the World Bank, Vietnam’s middle class currently accounts for 13% of the population and is expected to reach 26% by 2026. Fitch Solutions predicts that Vietnam’s real household spending will expand at an annual average annual growth rate of 7.5% year-on-year from 2021 to 2024. Fitch Solutions notes that India’s middle-class households are growing, with 36.6 million households expected to earn a net income of more than US$10,000 by 2024, placing India firmly in the middle-income bracket category.

And despite the ongoing effects from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Internet economy continues to boom in SEA and South Asia. According to Google Temasek e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report, Internet usage in the region increased with 40 million new users added in 2020 for a total of 400 million compared to 360 million in 2019. Seventy percent of SEA’s population is now online, compared to approximately twenty percent in 2009. In addition, SEA mobile Internet penetration now reaches more than 67%. E-commerce, online media and food delivery adoption and usage surged with the total value of goods and services sold via the Internet, or gross merchandise value (“GMV”), in SEA, expected to reach more than US$100 billion by year end 2020 according to Google, Temasek, Bain SEA Report 2020. In fact, the SEA Internet sector GMV is forecast to grow to over US$300 billion by 2025.

Vietnam’s mobile penetration rate has reached 95% in city areas and among SEA countries, Vietnamese consumers spend the most time online for personal purposes, just after Singaporean users. According to Google Temasek e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report, total GMV of e-Commerce spending in Vietnam is currently US$ 14 billion and is forecast to grow to over US$ 50 billion by 2025.

With more than half a billion Internet subscribers, South Asia contains some of the largest and fastest growing markets for digital consumers, and the rapid growth has been propelled by public and private sector India and Bangladesh lead the charge in Internet adoption, and it is expected that by 2025 close to two thirds of consumers in these markets will be using mobile internet. As consumers in these markets look increasingly towards online platforms to shop, the total value of internet-based transactions has grown tremendously and is expected to keep doing so. Total GMV of South Asia’s Internet economy is expected to skyrocket from US$74 billion in 2020 to US$210 billion in 2025.

We believe that these ongoing positive economic and demographic trends in SEA and South Asia propel demand for our Platform.

Recent Developments

Effects of COVID-19 Outbreak. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide.

We are monitoring the global outbreak and spread of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking steps in an effort to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has globally resulted in loss of life, business closures, restrictions on travel, and widespread cancellation of social gatherings. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including:

 

• new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the disease in Vietnam and SEA;

 

• the duration and spread of the outbreak;

 

• the severity of travel restrictions imposed by geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures;

 

• regulatory actions taken in response to the pandemic, which may impact merchant operations, consumer and merchant pricing, Dasher pay, and our product offerings;

 

• other business disruptions that affect our workforce;

 

• the impact on capital and financial markets; and

 

• actions taken throughout the world, including in markets in which we operate, to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact. 

 

In addition, the current outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread global health crisis and adversely affected global economies and financial markets, and similar public health threats could do so in the future. Such events have impacted, and could in the future impact, demand for merchants and consumer purchase patterns, which in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases, and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events and conferences and further actions may be taken as required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and other business partners. We are monitoring the global outbreak of the pandemic, in SEA, especially Vietnam and are taking steps in an effort to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. See “Risk Factors--Our business may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak”.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. We expect that we will remain an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future, but cannot retain our emerging growth company status indefinitely and will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company on or before the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from specified disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

These exemptions include:

• being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

• not being required to comply with the requirement of auditor attestation of our internal controls over financial reporting;

• not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; 

• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and

• not being required to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

An emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public reporting companies.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available for smaller reporting companies.

Controlled Company 

 

Mr.Dennis Nguyen, our Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is currently the beneficial owner of voting stock that provides himwith approximately 73.5% of the voting power of our voting stock. Upon the closing of this offering, Mr. Nguyen will own approximately70.1% of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock (approximately 69.7% if the over-allotment is exercised in full) and our officerand directors will own collectively 78.9% of the voting power of our voting stock (approximately 78.3% if the over-allotment is exercisedin full). We currently meet the definition of a “controlled company” under the corporate governance standards for NASDAQlisted companies and for so long as we remain a controlled company under this definition, we are eligible to utilize certain exemptionsfrom the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

As long as our officers and directors, either individually or in the aggregate, own at least 50% of the voting power of our Company, we are a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

For so as we are a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to rely on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:

• an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors;

 

• an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and

 

• an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.

 

Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors.

 

As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

RISKFACTORS

Ourbusiness is subject to many risks and uncertainties, which may affect our future financial performance. If any of the events or circumstancesdescribed below occur, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected, our actual results could differ materiallyfrom our expectations, and the price of our stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones weface. There may be additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material thatmay adversely affect our business and financial performance. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with allother information included in this prospectus including our financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision.The statements contained in this prospectus that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks anduncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements.If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case,the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors in our securities may lose all or part of their investment.

RisksRelated to Our Business

Wehave a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increasethe risk that we will not be successful.

TheCompany has a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. The Company is subject to all therisks inherent in a small company seeking to develop, market and distribute new services, particularly companies in evolving marketssuch as the internet, technology, and payment systems. The likelihood of the Company’s success must be considered, in light ofthe problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development, introduction,marketing and distribution of new products and services in a competitive environment.

Suchrisks for the Company include, but are not limited to, dependence on the success and acceptance of the Company’s services, theability to attract and retain a suitable client base, and the management of growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among otherthings, generate increased demand, attract a sufficient clientele base, respond to competitive developments, increase the “SoPa”and “#HOTTAB” brand names’ visibility, successfully introduce new services, attract, retain and motivate qualifiedpersonnel and upgrade and enhance the Company’s technologies to accommodate expanded service offerings. In view of the rapidlyevolving nature of the Company’s business and its limited operating history, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisonsof its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

TheCompany is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages,limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of revenues.

Ifwe fail to raise capital when needed it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition andresults of operations

TheCompany has limited revenue-producing operations and will require the proceeds from this offering to execute its full business plan.The Company believes the proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to develop its initial plans. However, the Company can give noassurance that all, or even a significant portion of these shares will be sold or, that the moneys raised will be sufficient to executethe entire business plan of the Company. Further, no assurance can be given if additional capital is needed as to how much additionalcapital will be required or that additional financing can be obtained, or if obtainable, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company,or that such financing would not result in a substantial dilution of shareholder’s interest. A failure to raise capital when neededwould have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, debtand other debt financing may involve a pledge of assets and may be senior to interests of equity holders. Any debt

financingsecured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operationalmatters, which may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain additional capital or to pursue business opportunities, includingpotential acquisitions. If adequate funds are not obtained, the Company may be required to reduce, curtail, or discontinue operations.

Werely on internet search engines and application marketplaces to drive traffic to our Platform, certain providers of which offer productsand services that compete directly with our products. If links to our applications and website are not displayed prominently, trafficto our Platform could decline and our business would be adversely affected.

Werely heavily on Internet search engines, such as Google, to drive traffic to our Platform through their unpaid search results and onapplication marketplaces, such as Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play, to drive downloads of our applications. Although searchresults and application marketplaces have allowed us to attract a large audience with low organic traffic acquisition costs to date,if they fail to drive sufficient traffic to our Platform, we may need to increase our marketing spend to acquire additional traffic.We cannot assure you that the value we ultimately derive from any such additional traffic would exceed the cost of acquisition, and anyincrease in marketing expense may in turn harm our operating results.

Theamount of traffic we attract from search engines is due in large part to how and where information from and links to our website aredisplayed on search engine result pages. The display, including rankings, of unpaid search results can be affected by a number of factors,many of which are not in our direct control, and may change frequently. Search engines have made changes in the past to their rankingalgorithms, methodologies and design layouts that have reduced the prominence of links to our Platform and negatively impacted our traffic,and we expect they will continue to make such changes from time to time in the future. Similarly, Apple, Google or other marketplaceoperators may make changes to their marketplaces that make access to our products more difficult. For example, our applications may receiveunfavorable treatment compared to the promotion and placement of competing applications, such as the order in which they appear withinmarketplaces.

Wemay not know how or otherwise be in a position to influence search results or our treatment in application marketplaces. With respectto search results in particular, even when search engines announce the details of their methodologies, their parameters may change fromtime to time, be poorly defined or be inconsistently interpreted. For example, Google previously announced that the rankings of sitesshowing certain types of app install interstitials could be penalized on its mobile search results pages. While we believe the type ofinterstitial we currently use is not being penalized, we cannot guarantee that Google will not unexpectedly penalize our app installinterstitials, causing links to our mobile website to be featured less prominently in Google’s mobile search results and harmingtraffic to our Platform as a result.

Insome instances, search engine companies and application marketplaces may change their displays or rankings in order to promote theirown competing products or services or the products or services of one or more of our competitors. For example, Google has integratedits local product offering with certain of its products, including search and maps. The resulting promotion of Google’s own competingproducts in its web search results has negatively impacted the search ranking of our website. Because Google in particular is the mostsignificant source of traffic to our website, accounting for a substantial portion of the visits to our website, our success dependson our ability to maintain a prominent presence in search results for queries regarding local businesses on Google. As a result, Google’spromotion of its own competing products, or similar actions by Google in the future that have the effect of reducing our prominence orranking on its search results, could have a substantial negative effect on our business and results of operations.

Theecommerce market is highly competitive and if the Company does not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing,sales and client support efforts on a competitive basis our business could be adversely affected

Theinternet-based ecommerce business is highly competitive and the Company competes with several different types of companies that offersome form of user-vendor connection experience, payment processing and/or funds transfer content, as well as marketing data companies.Certain of these competitors may have greater industry experience or financial and other resources than the Company.

Tobecome and remain competitive, the Company will require research and development, marketing, sales, and client support. The Company maynot have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and client support efforts on a competitive basiswhich could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company intendsto differentiate itself from competitors by developing a payments platform that allows consumers and merchants to accept and use bonuspoints.

Themarket for consumer’s lifestyle is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and the Company expects competition to intensifyfurther in the future. There is no guarantee that any factors that differentiate the Company from its competitors will give the Companya market advantage or continue to be a differentiating factor for the Company in the foreseeable future. Competitive pressures createdby any one of the above-mentioned companies (and other direct or indirect competitors), or by the Company’s competitors collectively,could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Themarket for our Platform is new and unproven

Wewere founded in 2018 and since our inception have been creating products for the developing and rapidly evolving market for API-basedsoftware platforms, a market that is largely unproven and is subject to a number of inherent risks and uncertainties. We believe thatour future success will depend in large part on the growth, if any, in the market for software platforms that provide features and functionalityto create the entire lifestyle ecosystem. It is difficult to predict customer adoption and renewal rates, customer demand for our solutions,the size and growth rate of the overall market that our Platform addresses, the entry of competitive products or the success of existingcompetitive products. Any expansion of the market our Platform addresses depends upon a number of factors, including the cost, performance,and perceived value associated with such solutions. If the market our Platform addresses does not achieve significant additional growthor there is a reduction in demand for such solutions caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, competing technologiesand products or decreases in corporate spending, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results ofoperations and financial condition.

Delaysin the implementation of or lack of consumer acceptance of Society Points could have a material adverse effect on our business

Weexpect to launch Society Points in the second quarter of 2022 which will be a significant component to our Sopa consumer facing platform.However, if such launch is delayed or there is not the expected consumer acceptance of Society Points by consumers, our business andfinancial prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Ifwe are unable to expand our systems or develop or acquire technologies to accommodate increased volume our Platform could be impaired

Weseek to generate a high volume of traffic and transactions through its technologies. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliabilityand availability of the Company’s website and platform, processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our reputationand its ability to attract and retain large numbers of users who transact sales on its platform while maintaining adequate customer servicelevels. The Company’s revenues depend, in substantial way, on the volume of user transactions that are successfully completed.Any system interruptions that result in the unavailability of our service or reduced customer activity would ultimately reduce the volumeof transactions completed. Interruptions of service may also diminish the attractiveness of our company and its services. Any substantialincrease in the volume of traffic on our website or Platform or in the number of transactions being conducted by customers will requireus to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network infrastructure. There can be no assurance that wewill be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of the Platform or timely expand and upgrade oursystems and infrastructure to accommodate such increases in a timely manner. Any failure to expand or upgrade its systems could havea material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

TheCompany’s uses internally developed systems to operate its service and for transaction processing, including collections processing.The Company must continually enhance and improve these systems in order to accommodate the level of use of its products and servicesand increase its security. Furthermore, in the future, the Company may add new features and functionality to its services that wouldresult in the need to develop or license additional technologies. The Company’s inability to add new software and hardware to developand further upgrade its existing technology, transaction processing systems or network infrastructure to accommodate increased trafficon its platforms or increased transaction volume through its processing systems or to provide new features or functionality may causeunanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, degradation in levels of customer service, impaired quality of the user’sexperience on the Company’s service, and delays in reporting accurate financial information. There can be no assurance that theCompany will be able in a timely manner to effectively upgrade and expand its systems or to integrate smoothly any newly developed orpurchased technologies with its existing systems. Any inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’sbusiness, results of operations and financial condition.

TheCompany’s failure to successfully market its brands could result in adverse financial consequences

TheCompany believes that continuing to strengthen its brands is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of the Company, particularlyin light of the competitive nature of the Company’s market. Promoting and positioning its brands will depend largely on the successof the Company’s marketing efforts and the ability of the Company to provide high quality services. In order to promote its brand,the Company will need to increase its marketing budget and otherwise increase its financial commitment to creating and maintaining brandloyalty among users. There can be no assurance that brand promotion activities will yield increased revenues or that any such revenueswould offset the expenses incurred by the Company in building its brand. Further, there can be no assurance that any new users attractedto the Company will conduct transactions over the Company on a regular basis. If the Company fails to promote and maintain its brandor incurs substantial expenses in an attempt to promote and maintain its brand or if the Company’s existing or future strategicrelationships fail to promote the Company’s brand or increase brand awareness, the Company’s business, results of operationsand financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

TheCompany may not be able to successfully develop and promote new products or services which could result in adverse financial consequences

TheCompany plans to expand its operations by developing and promoting new or complementary services, products or transaction formats orexpanding the breadth and depth of services. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand its operations in a cost-effectiveor timely manner or that any such efforts will maintain or increase overall market acceptance. Furthermore, any new business or servicelaunched by the Company that is not favorably received by consumers could damage the Company’s reputation and diminish the valueof its brand. Expansion of the Company’s operations in this manner would also require significant additional expenses and development,operations and other resources and would strain the Company’s management, financial and operational resources. The lack of marketacceptance of such services or the Company’s inability to generate satisfactory revenues from such expanded services to offsettheir cost could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Inaddition, if we are unable to keep up with changes in technology and new hardware, software and services offerings, for example, by providingthe appropriate training to out account managers, sales technology specialists, engineers and consultants to enable them to effectivelysell and deliver such new offerings to customers, our business, results of operations, or financial condition could be adversely affected.

Adecline in the demand for goods and services of the merchants included in the Platform could result in adverse financial consequences

TheCompany expects to derive most of its revenues from fees from successfully completed transactions on its consumer facing platforms. TheCompany’s future revenues will depend upon continued demand for the types of goods and services that are offered by the merchantsthat are included on such platforms. Any decline in demand for the goods offered through the Company’s services as a result ofchanges in consumer trends could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financialcondition.

Theeffective operation of the Company’s platform is dependent on technical infrastructure and certain third-party service providers

Ourability to attract, retain, and serve customers is dependent upon the reliable performance of our Platform and the underlying technicalinfrastructure. We may fail to effectively scale and grow our technical infrastructure to accommodate these increased demands. In addition,our business will be reliant upon third party partners such as financial service providers and cash-out providers, payment terminalsand equipment providers. Any disruption or failure in the services from third party partners used to facilitate our business could harmour business. Any financial or other difficulties these partners face may adversely affect our business, and we exercise little controlover these partners, which increases vulnerability to problems with the services they provide.

Thereis no assurance that the Company will be profitable

Thereis no assurance that we will earn profits in the future, or that profitability will be sustained. There is no assurance that future revenueswill be sufficient to generate the funds required to continue our business development and marketing activities. If we do not have sufficientcapital to fund our operations, we may be required to reduce our sales and marketing efforts or forego certain business opportunities.

Wecould lose the right to the use of our domain names

Wehave registered domain names for our website that we use in our business. If we lose the ability to use a domain name, whether due totrademark claims, failure to renew the applicable registration, or any other cause, we may be forced to market our products under a newdomain name, which could cause us substantial harm, or to incur significant expense in order to purchase rights to the domain name inquestion. In addition, our competitors and others could attempt to capitalize on our brand recognition by using domain names similarto ours, especially in the light of our expected expansion in SEA countries and South Asia. Domain names similar to ours may be registeredin the United States and elsewhere. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe on,are similar to, or otherwise decrease the value of our brand or our trademarks or service marks. Protecting and enforcing our rightsin our domain names may require litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention.

Wemay be required to expend resources to protect Platform information or we may be unable to launch our services

Fromtime to time, other companies may copy information from our Platform, through website scraping, robots or other means, and publish oraggregate it with other information for their own benefit. We have no assurance other companies will not copy, publish or aggregate contentfrom our Platform in the future. When third parties copy, publish, or aggregate content from our Platform, it makes them more competitive,and decreases the likelihood that

consumerswill visit our website or use our mobile app to find the information they seek, which could negatively affect our business, results ofoperations and financial condition. We may not be able to detect such third-party conduct in a timely manner and, even if we could, wemay not be able to prevent it. In some cases, particularly in the case of websites operating outside of the United States, our availableremedies may be inadequate to protect us against such practices. In addition, we may be required to expend significant financial or otherresources to successfully enforce our rights.

Breachesof our online commerce security could occur and could have an adverse effect on our reputation

Asignificant barrier to online commerce and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks.There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography and cybersecurity, orother events or developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by the Company to protect customer transactiondata. If any such compromise of the Company’s security were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sreputation and, therefore, on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, a party who is able to circumventthe Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in the Company’s operations.The Company may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviateproblems caused by such breaches. Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and other online services andthe privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services generally, and the Web in particular, especiallyas a means of conducting commercial transactions. To the extent that activities of the Company involve the storage and transmission ofproprietary information, security breaches could damage the Company’s reputation and expose the Company to a risk of loss or litigationand possible liability. There can be no assurance that the Company’s security measures will prevent security breaches or that failureto prevent such security breaches will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations andfinancial condition.

TheCompany may not have the ability to manage its growth

TheCompany anticipates that significant expansion will be required to address potential growth in its customer base and market opportunities.The Company’s anticipated expansion is expected to place a significant strain on the Company’s management, operational andfinancial resources. To manage any material growth of its operations and personnel, the Company may be required to improve existing operationaland financial systems, procedures and controls and to expand, train and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that theCompany’s planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the Company’s future operations,that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that the Company’s management willbe able to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities. If the Company is unable to managegrowth effectively, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

TheCompany may engage in acquisition activity, which could have adverse effects on its business

Ifappropriate opportunities present themselves, the Company intends to acquire businesses, technologies, platforms, services, or productsthat the Company believes are strategic. The Company currently has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any materialacquisition and no material acquisition is currently being pursued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify,negotiate, or finance future acquisitions successfully, or to integrate such acquisitions with its current business. The process of integratingan acquired business, technology, service or product into the Company may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expendituresand may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of the Company's business.Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilitiesand/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business,results of operations and financial condition. Any such future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or products mightrequire the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, orat all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

Werely on the performance of highly skilled personnel, and if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate well-qualified employees, ourbusiness could be harmed

TheCompany is, and will be, heavily dependent on the skill, acumen and services of the management and other employees of the Company. Ourfuture success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualifiedindividuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior managementor key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan, and we may not be able to find adequatereplacements. All of our officers and. employees are at-will employees, which means they may terminate their employment relationshipwith us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We cannot ensure thatwe will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. If we do not succeed in attractingwell-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business could be harmed.

IllegalUse of our Platform by could result in adverse consequences to the Company

Despitemeasures the Company will implement to detect and prevent identify theft or other fraud our Platform remains susceptible to potentiallyillegal or improper uses. Despite measures the Company will take to detect and lessen the risk of this kind of conduct, the Company cannotassure that these measures will succeed. The Company’s business could suffer if customers use the Platform for illegal or improperpurposes.

Ifmerchants on our Platform are operating illegally, the Company could be subject to civil and criminal lawsuits, administrative action,and prosecution for, among other things, money laundering or for aiding and abetting violations of law. The Company would lose the revenuesassociated with these accounts and could be subject to material penalties and fines, both of which would seriously harm its business.

Weare subject to certain risks by virtue of our international operations

Weoperate and expand internationally. We expect to expand our international operations significantly by accessing new markets abroad andexpanding our offerings in new languages: not less than all languages in SEA countries and South Asia. Our platform is now availablein English and several other languages. However, we may have difficulty modifying our technology and content for use in non-English-speakingmarkets or fostering new communities in non-English-speaking markets. Our ability to manage our business and conduct our operations internationallyrequires considerable management attention and resources, and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growingbusiness in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, regulatory systems,and commercial infrastructures. Furthermore, in most international markets, we would not be the first entrant, and our competitors maybe better positioned than we are to succeed. Expanding internationally may subject us to risks that we have either not faced before orincrease our exposure to risks that we currently face, including risks associated with:

  recruiting and retaining qualified, multi-lingual employees, including customer support personnel;

 

  increased competition from local websites and guides and potential preferences by local populations for local providers;

 

  compliance with applicable foreign laws and regulations, including different privacy, censorship and liability standards and regulations and different intellectual property laws;

 

  providing solutions in different languages for different cultures, which may require that we modify our solutions and features to ensure that they are culturally relevant in different countries;

 

  the enforceability of our intellectual property rights;

 

  credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;

 

  compliance with anti-bribery laws;

 

  currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

  foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned outside the United States;

 

  political and economic instability in some countries;

 

  double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in the tax laws of the United States or the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate; and

 

  higher costs of doing business internationally.

Changesin the economic, political, or legal environment of the Asia Pacific region

Mostof our revenues are derived from SEA and South Asia countries. As a result, our business is subject to the economic, political and legalenvironment in SEA and South Asia countries. The economies of SEA and South Asia differ from other countries in various respects suchas government involvement, level of development, growth rate, allocation of resources and inflation rate. Prior to the 1990s, many SEAcountries relied on a planned economy. State-owned enterprises still account for a substantial portion of SEA and South Asia countries’industrial output, though governments in general are reducing the level of direct control that they exercise over the economy throughstate plans and other measures. It is our understanding that there is an increasing level of freedom and autonomy in areas such as resourceallocation, production and management and a gradual shift in emphasis to market economies and enterprise reform.

Otherthan Singapore, the legal systems of SEA countries in which the Company operates, also differ from most common law jurisdictions, inthat they are systems in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. The laws and regulations are subject to broad andvarying interpretations by government officials, courts, and lawyers. The courts of some countries of Asia Pacific region have the powerto read implied terms into contracts, adding a further layer of uncertainty. As a result, government officials, courts and lawyers oftenexpress different views on the legality, validity and effect of a particular legal document. In addition, the views of a governmentalauthority received on a particular issue have no binding effect or finality, so there is no guarantee that similar issues will be dealtwith in a similar way by other governmental authorities. Furthermore, recognition and enforcement of legal rights through Asia Pacificregion’s national courts, arbitration centers and administrative agencies in the event of a dispute is uncertain.

Aspart of their transition from planned economies to more market-oriented ones, the governments implemented a series of economic reforms,including lowering trade barriers and import quotas to encourage and promote foreign investment. The governments promulgated a seriesof laws and regulations on local and foreign investment, which set out the types of corporate vehicle investors may establish to carryout their investment projects. Nevertheless, conflicting interpretations between local regulators in different provinces in a country,and between different ministries can create confusion over key issues in certain countries. Many of the reforms in SEA and South Asiaregions are unprecedented or experimental and may be subject to revision, change or abolition, depending upon the outcome of these experiments.Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the governments will continue to pursue policies of economic reform or that any reforms willbe successful or the impetus to reform will continue. If any of these changes adversely affect us or our business, or if we are unableto capitalize on the economic reform measures of the pertinent governments, our business, results of operations and financial conditioncould be adversely affected.

Manyof the economies in SEA countries and South Asia are experiencing substantial inflationary pressures which may prompt the governmentsto take action to control the growth of the economy and inflation that could lead to a significant decrease in our profitability.

Whilemany of the economies in SEA and South Asia have experienced rapid growth over the last two decades, they have also experienced inflationarypressures. As governments take steps to address inflationary pressures, there may be significant changes in the availability of bankcredits, interest rates, limitations on loans, restrictions on currency conversions and foreign investment. There also may be impositionof price controls. If our revenues rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in our costs, it may have an adverseeffect on our profitability. If these or other similar restrictions are imposed by a government to influence the economy, it may leadto a slowing of economic growth.

Ourbusiness will be exposed to foreign exchange risk

Wederive most of our revenue from the operations of our Platform in Vietnam and expect to derive our revenue from SEA and South Asia. Ourfunctional currencies will by necessity be the currencies of the countries of SEA and South Asia. Our reporting currency is the U.S.dollar. We translate our results of operations using the average exchange rate for the period, unless the average is not a reasonableapproximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translatedat the rate on the dates of the transactions, and we translate our financial position at the period-end exchange rate. Accordingly, anysignificant fluctuation between the currencies of countries of SEA and South Asia on the one hand and the U.S. dollar on the other couldexpose us to foreign exchange risk.

Someof the currencies of the countries of SEA and South Asia are not freely convertible. The foreign exchange management regime of many SEAand South Asia countries has transitioned from a system of fixed multiple exchange rates controlled by the state banks to a system offlexible exchange rates regulated largely by market forces, though transfers of currency is regulated and controlled in some countries.A significant depreciation in many of the currencies of countries of SEA and South Asia against major foreign currencies may have a materialadverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition because our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. There can be noassurance, that the governments will continue to relax their foreign exchange regulations, that they will maintain the same foreign exchangepolicy or that there will be sufficient foreign currency available in the market for currency conversions. If, in the future, the regulationsrestrict our ability to convert local currencies or there is insufficient foreign currency available in the market, we may be unableto meet any foreign currency payment obligations.

Ifinflation increases significantly in SEA or South Asia countries

Shouldinflation in SEA or South Asia countries increase significantly, our costs, including our staff costs and transportation are expectedto increase. Furthermore, high inflation rates could have an adverse effect on the countries’ economic growth, business climateand dampen consumer purchasing power. As a result, a high inflation rate in SEA

orSouth Asia countries could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Geopoliticalunrest in the regions in which we operate could adversely affect our business

Mostof our operations and business activities are conducted in SEA and South Asia countries, whose economies and legal systems remain susceptibleto risks associated with an emerging economy and which is subject to higher geopolitical risks than developed countries. Examples includethe social unrests in 2014 in Vietnam targeting China-related businesses and ongoing territorial and other disputes between Vietnam andits neighboring countries in Asia. Social and political unrest could give rise to various risks, such as loss of employment and safetyand security risks to persons and property. Any such event may in turn have a material and adverse effect on our business, results ofoperations and financial position.

Ourbusiness may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

Thecurrent outbreak of COVID-19 has globally resulted in loss of life, business closures, restrictions on travel, and widespread cancellationof social gatherings. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highlyuncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including: 

    new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the disease;

 

    the duration and spread of the outbreak;

 

    the severity of travel restrictions imposed by geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures;

 

    regulatory actions taken in response to the pandemic, which may impact merchant operations, consumer and merchant pricing, Dasher pay, and our product offerings;

 

    other business disruptions that affect our workforce;

 

    the impact on capital and financial markets; and

 

    actions taken throughout the world, including in markets in which we operate, to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact.

 

Inaddition, the current outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread global health crisis and adversely affected global economiesand financial markets, and similar public health threats could do so in the future. Such events have impacted, and could in the futureimpact, demand for merchants and consumer purchase patterns, which in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Furthermore,if a virus or other disease is transmitted by human contact, as is the case with COVID-19, our employees and any constituent of our networkmay become infected, or may choose, or be advised, to avoid any contact with others, any of which may adversely affect our ability toprovide our Platform and for our merchants and consumers to use our Platform. In addition, shelter-in-place orders and similar regulationsimpact merchants’ ability to operate their businesses, consumers’ ability to pick up orders, and our merchants’ abilityto make deliveries during certain times, or at all. Even if merchants are able to continue to operate their businesses, many may operatewith limited hours, selection and capacity and other limitations. Any limitations on or disruptions or closures of merchants’ businessescould adversely affect our business.

Evenif a virus or other disease does not spread significantly and such measures are not implemented, the perceived risk of infection or significanthealth risk may adversely affect our business. Merchants may be perceived as unsafe during such public health threats, even for orderdelivery or pickup. If the services offered through our Platform or at other businesses in our industry become a significant risk fortransmitting COVID-19 or similar public health threats, or if there is a public perception that such risk exists, demand for the useof our Platform would be adversely affected. Any negative impact on consumers’ willingness or ability to order delivery or completea Pickup order, or on Dashers’ willingness or ability to make deliveries, could adversely affect our business, financial condition,and results of operations. 

Substantiallyall of our revenues are concentrated in Vietnam pending expansion into other markets in SEA and South Asia regions. Consequently, ourresults of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or anyother epidemic harms Vietnam’s economy and society and the global economy in general. Any potential impact to our results willdepend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almostall of which are beyond our control. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue foran extensive period of time, the operations of our business may be materially adversely affected.

Tothe extent the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar public health threat has an impact on our business, it is likely to also have the effectof heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

RegulatoryRisks

Thepayment processing regulatory regimes of the countries in which we operate could have adverse consequences on our business

Fromtime-to-time, governments and regulatory bodies may review the legislation and regulations applied to the payment processing industryin which the Company operates. Such reviews could result in the enactment of new laws and/or the adoption of new regulations in SEA,South Asia, the US or elsewhere, which might adversely impact businesses in those countries in general and consequently, may threatenthe Company’s growth prospects. More specifically, the Company is operating in the payment processing industry, which is strictlyregulated. Regulation is extensive and designed to protect consumers and the public, while providing standard guidelines for businessoperations. In the offering of its products, the Company is subject to certain federal and provincial laws and regulations relating toits financial product offerings, including laws and regulations governing such things as Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering(AML), Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) and safeguarding the privacy of customers’ personal information. Failure to comply with,or changes to, existing or future laws and regulations could result in significant unforeseen costs and limitations, and could have anadverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Regulationof the internet generally could have adverse consequences on our business

Weare also subject to general business regulations and laws in SEA and South Asia specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Existingand future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce or other online services, and increase the cost ofproviding online services. These regulations and laws may cover sweepstakes, taxation, tariffs, user privacy, data protection, pricing,content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, broadband residential Internetaccess and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,sales, use and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues mayharm our business and results of operations.

Privacyregulations could have adverse consequences on our business

Wereceive, collect, store, process, transfer, and use personal information and other user data. There are numerous international laws andregulations regarding privacy, data protection, information security, and the collection, storing, sharing, use, processing, transfer,disclosure, and protection of personal information and other content, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations,and may be inconsistent among countries, or conflict with other laws and regulations. We are also subject to the terms of our privacypolicies and obligations to third parties related to privacy, data protection, and information security. We strive to comply with applicablelaws, regulations, policies, and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and information security to the extentpossible. However, the regulatory framework for privacy and data protection worldwide is, and is likely to remain for the foreseeablefuture, uncertain and complex, and it is possible that these or other actual or alleged obligations may be interpreted and applied ina manner that we do not anticipate or that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or ourpractices. Further, any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, or industry practices regarding the collection, use, retention,security, or disclosure of our users’ data, or their interpretation, or any changes regarding the manner in which the express orimplied consent of users for the collection, use, retention, or disclosure of such data must be obtained, could increase our costs andrequire us to modify our services and features, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to complete, and may limit ourability to store and process user data or develop new services and features. 

Wealso expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and informationsecurity proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions.

Anyfailure or perceived failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to users or other thirdparties, or any other legal obligations or regulatory requirements relating to privacy, data protection, or information security mayresult in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacygroups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise have an adverse effecton our reputation and business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policiesthat are applicable to the businesses of our users may limit the adoption and use of, and reduce the overall demand for, our Platform.

Additionally,if third parties we work with violate applicable laws, regulations, or agreements, such violations may put our users’ data at risk,could result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, fines, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumeradvocacy groups or others and could result in significant liability, cause our users to lose trust in us, and otherwise have an adverseeffect on our reputation and business. Further, public scrutiny of or complaints about technology companies or their data handling ordata protection practices, even if unrelated to our business, industry, or operations, may lead to increased scrutiny of technology companies,including us, and may cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory requirements, or to modify their enforcement or investigationactivities, which may increase our costs and risks.

Regulationof bonus cards could have adverse consequences on our business

Ourplatform’s payment system inevitably provides our customers with bonuses that may or may not be deemed gift certificates, storegift cards, general-use prepaid cards, or other vouchers, or “gift cards”, subject to, various laws of multiple jurisdictions.Many of these laws include specific disclosure requirements and prohibitions or limitations on the use of expiration dates and the impositionof certain fees. Various companies that provided deal products similar to ours around the world are currently or were defendants in purportedclass action lawsuits.

Theapplication of various other laws and regulations to our products is uncertain. These include laws and regulations pertaining to unclaimedand abandoned property, partial redemption, revenue-sharing restrictions on certain trade groups and professions, sales and other localtaxes and the sale of alcoholic beverages. In addition, we may become, or be determined to be, subject to United States federal or statelaws or laws in SEA or South Asia countries we operate regulating money transmitters or aimed at preventing money laundering or terroristfinancing, including the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other similar future laws or regulations in the United States andin the applicable SEA or South Asia countries.

Ifwe become subject to claims or are required to alter our business practices as a result of current or future laws and regulations, ourrevenue could decrease, our costs could increase and our business could otherwise be harmed. In addition, the costs and expenses associatedwith defending any actions related to such additional laws and regulations and any payments of related penalties, fines, judgments orsettlements could harm our business.

TheRequirements of Being a Public Company

Asa public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “ExchangeAct”, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with theserules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming orcostly and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterlyand current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that wemaintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required,improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resourcesand management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted

fromother business concerns, which could harm our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future to complywith these requirements, which will increase our costs and expenses.

22 
 

 

Inaddition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty forpublic companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulationsand standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their applicationin practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertaintyregarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend toinvest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrativeexpenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If ourefforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies dueto ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Wealso expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director andofficer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage.These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularlyto serve on our audit committee and Remuneration Committee, and qualified executive officers.

Asa result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial conditionwill become more visible, which we believe may result in increased threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and otherthird parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not resultin litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resourcesof our management and harm our business and operating results.

Wemay be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt PracticesAct could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Weare subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreigngovernments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtainingor retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Asia, which may experience corruption. Ouractivities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants or agents of ourcompany, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practicesby our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants,sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA mayresult in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business,operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPAviolations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Riskof litigation

TheCompany and/or its directors and officers may be subject to a variety of civil or other legal proceedings, with or without merit. Fromtime to time in the ordinary course of its business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, employmentand other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming,divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherentlyunpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Evenif the claims are without merit, the costs associated with defending these types of claims may be substantial, both in terms of time,money, and management distraction. In particular, patent and other intellectual property

litigationmay be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict and may require us to stop offering certain features, purchaselicenses or modify our products and features while we develop non-infringing substitutes or may result in significant settlement costs.We do not own any patents, and, therefore, may be unable to deter competitors or others from pursuing patent or other intellectual propertyinfringement claims against us.

Theresults of litigation and claims to which we may be subject cannot be predicted with certainty. Even if these matters do not result inlitigation or are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessaryto litigate or resolve them, could harm our business, results or operations and reputation.

Ourfinancial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis and our continued operations are in doubt

Thefinancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assetsand satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successfulcompletion of equity or debt financing and the achievement of profitable operations at an indeterminate time in the future. There canbe no assurances that we will be successful in completing an equity or debt financing or in achieving profitability.

Weface potential liability and expense for legal claims based on the content on our Platform

Weface potential liability and expense for legal claims relating to the information that we publish on our website and our Platform, includingclaims for defamation, libel, negligence and copyright or trademark infringement, among others. For example, businesses in the past haveclaimed, and may in the future claim, that we are responsible for defamatory reviews posted by our users. We expect claims like theseto continue, and potentially increase in proportion to the amount of content on our Platform. These claims could divert management timeand attention away from our business and result in significant costs to investigate and defend, regardless of the merits of the claims.In some instances, we may elect or be compelled to remove content or may be forced to pay substantial damages if we are unsuccessfulin our efforts to defend against these claims. If we elect or are compelled to remove valuable content from our website or mobile app,our Platform may become less useful to consumers and our traffic may decline, which could have a negative impact on our business andfinancial performance.

Protectionof Intellectual Property Rights

Thefuture success of our business is dependent upon the intellectual property rights surrounding the technology, including trade secrets,know-how and continuing technological innovation. Although we will seek to protect our proprietary rights, our actions may be inadequateto protect any proprietary rights or to prevent others from claiming violations of their proprietary rights. There can be no assurancethat other companies are not investigating or developing other technologies that are similar to our technology. In addition, effectiveintellectual property protection may be unenforceable or limited in certain countries, and the global nature of the Internet makes itimpossible to control the ultimate designation of our technology. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could subject us to costlylitigation. If the protection of proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, thevalue of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business andfinancial results.

Effectivetrade secret, copyright, trademark and domain name protection is expensive to develop and maintain, both in terms of initial and ongoingregistration requirements and expenses and the costs of defending our rights. We are seeking to protect our trademarks and domain namesin an increasing number of jurisdictions, a process that is expensive and may not be successful or which we may not pursue in every location.Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our respective trade secrets or determine the validityand scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantialcosts and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Wemay incur significant costs in enforcing our trademarks against those who attempt to imitate our brand. If we fail to maintain, protectand enhance our intellectual property rights, our business and operating results may be harmed.

RisksRelated to this Offering

Ourmanagement will have broad discretion over the use of any net proceeds from this offering and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds,and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Ourmanagement will have broad discretion as to the use of any net proceeds from this offering or the exercise of Warrants and could usethem for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering and in ways that do not necessarily improve our resultsof operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regardto the use of any proceeds from this offering and the exercise of Warrants and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investmentdecision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way thatdoes not yield a favorable, or any, return for you.

TheWarrants are speculative in nature.

 

TheWarrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on its holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends,but rather merely represent the right to acquire common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Commencing on the date ofissuance, holders of the Warrants may exercise their rights to acquire common stock and pay an exercise price of $7.73 per share, subjectto certain adjustments, prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised Warrants will expireand have no further value.

 

Followingthis offering, the market value of the Warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrantswill equal or exceed their imputed offering price. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock in the futurewill ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of theWarrants to exercise the Warrants.

 

Holdersof the Warrants will have no rights as shareholders until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common stock.

 

Untilholders of the Warrants acquire our common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, holders of the Warrants will have no rights with respectto the common stock underlying the Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rightsof a holder of common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

Ifyou purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your sharesof common stock.

Thepublic offering price is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Investors purchasing sharesof common stock, in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the net tangible book value of our common stock.As a result, investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $5.23 per share, based onthe assumed public offering price of $7.73 per share and Warrant and our pro forma, as adjusted net tangible book value as of September30, 2021. The exercise of outstanding warrants would result in additional dilution. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasingshares of common stock may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering in the event of liquidation. See“Dilution” for additional information.

Investorsin this offering may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

Inorder to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible intoor exchangeable for our common stock. Investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior toexisting common stockholders, and the price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertibleinto or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

Salesof a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depressthe market price of our common stock.

Salesof a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impairour ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of ourcommon stock would have on the market price of our common stock.

OurPre-IPO Shareholders may sell significant quantities of common stock

Ourpre-IPO shareholders own approximately 77.5% of our common stock. . Notwithstanding that certain officers and directors who are stockholdersare locked up until May 7, 2022, they may have acquired their shares at a lower price than that of this offering. Accordingly, they maybe incentivized to sell all or part of their holdings as soon as any applicable transfer restrictions have ended and such sales couldhave a negative impact on the market price of our common stock. 

Ifsecurities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock priceand trading volume could decline.

Thetrading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish aboutus or our business. Several analysts may cover our stock. If one or more of those analysts downgrade our stock or publish inaccurateor unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage ofour company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and tradingvolume to decline.

RisksRelating to Ownership of Our Securities.

Thereis no public market for the Warrants to purchase shares of common stock being offered by us in this offering.

Thereis no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering. The Warrants will not be listed for tradingand no market for the Warrants is expected to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Thetrading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

 

Thetrading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happenbecause of broad market and industry factors. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for the commonstock and/or Warrants may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

 

  variations in our net revenue, earnings and cash flows;

 

  announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors;

 

  announcements of new offerings and expansions by us or our competitors;

 

  changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 

  detrimental adverse publicity about us, our shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers or employees, our business model, our services or our industry;

 

  announcements of new regulations, rules or policies relevant for our business;

 

  additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and

 

  potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

 

Anyof these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our common stock will trade.

 

Inthe past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periodsof instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significantamount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and require us to incur significant expenses to defendthe suit, which could harm our results of operations.

 

Anysuch class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future.In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could materially adverselyaffect our financial condition and results of operations.

Apossible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stocks that largely exceeds supply may lead toprice volatility in our common stock.

Followingthis offering, investors may purchase our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price ofour common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposureexceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have topay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramaticallyincrease the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional shares of common stock tocover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile pricemovements in our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchasethe shares of common stock necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.

OurFounder, Chairman and CEO will continue to own a significant percentage of our common stock and our Super Voting Preferred Stock andwill be able to exert significant control over matters subject to shareholder approval.

DennisNguyen, our Founder, Chairman and CEO, currently beneficially owns common stock and Super Voting Preferred Stock that provide him with73.5% of the voting power of our voting stock. Upon the closing of this offering, he will beneficially own approximately 70.1% of thevoting power of our outstanding voting stock, or approximately 69.7% if the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional sharesof common stock and/or Warrants from us in full. Therefore, even after this offering, he will have the ability to substantially influenceus through this ownership position. For example, he may be able to significantly influence elections of directors, amendments of ourorganizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. His interests may not alwayscoincide with our corporate interests or the interests of other shareholders, and he may act in a manner with which you may not agreeor that may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders. So long as he continues to own a significant amount of our equity,he will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. 

Wemay not be able to satisfy listing requirements of Nasdaq to maintain a listing of our common stock.

Althoughour common stock has been approved for listing on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing.If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our common stock, our common stock may be delisted. In addition,our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing.A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock andcould have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. In addition, thedelisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.

Anactive market for our common stock in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.

Priorto our initial public offering that closed on November 12, 2021, there was no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict theextent to which an active market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering, or how the development of sucha market might affect the market price of our common stock.. The value of our common stock can be adversely affected by a variety offactors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, governmentintervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.

Ifwe are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our Common Stock

 

Inorder to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continuedlisting requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to complywith such applicable listing standards.

Ourfailure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.

Weare required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, orany failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial conditionor results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknessesand conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns forinvestors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting,disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accountingfirm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have anadverse impact on the price of our common stock.

Acontrol system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives ofthe control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints andthe benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controlscan provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherentlimitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple erroror mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by managementoverride of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood offuture events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures maydeteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and maynot be detected.

Atpresent, we believe that we have effective internal controls in place. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer,cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls that we have in place will prevent all possible errors, mistakesor all fraud.

Ourfinancial controls and procedures may not be sufficient to ensure timely and reliable reporting of financial information, which, as apublic company, could materially harm our stock price.

Werequire significant financial resources to maintain our public reporting status. We cannot assure you we will be able to maintain adequateresources to ensure that we will not have any future material weakness in our system of

internalcontrols. The effectiveness of our controls and procedures may in the future be limited by a variety of factors including:

  faulty human judgment and simple errors, omissions or mistakes;

 

  fraudulent action of an individual or collusion of two or more people;

 

  inappropriate management override of procedures; and

 

  the possibility that any enhancements to controls and procedures may still not be adequate to assure timely and accurate financial information.

26 
 

Ourinternal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financialreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertainto the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assetsof the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statementsin accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only inaccordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding preventionor timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effecton the financial statements.

Despitethese controls, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.Furthermore, smaller reporting companies like us face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals andcan find it difficult to employ resources for complicated transactions and effective risk management. Additionally, smaller reportingcompanies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.

Ifwe fail to have effective controls and procedures for financial reporting in place, we could be unable to provide timely and accuratefinancial information and be subject to investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and civil or criminal sanctions.

Wemust implement additional and expensive procedures and controls in order to grow our business and organization and to satisfy new reportingrequirements, which will increase our costs and require additional management resources.

Uponbecoming a fully public reporting company, we will be required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-OxleyAct”) and the related rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements that we maintain disclosure controls andprocedures and adequate internal control over financial reporting. In the future, if our securities are listed on a national exchange,we may also be required to comply with marketplace rules and heightened corporate governance standards. Compliance with the Sarbanes-OxleyAct and other SEC and national exchange requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources. We recentlyhave begun upgrading our procedures and controls and will need to continue to implement additional procedures and controls as we growour business and organization and to satisfy new reporting requirements. If we are unable to complete the required assessment as to theadequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or if we fail to maintaininternal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could beimpaired.

Ifwe do not maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy of our periodicreports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additionally, our abilityto obtain additional financing could be impaired or a lack of investor confidence in the reliability and accuracy of our public reportingcould cause our stock price to decline.

Weare an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012 and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirementsapplicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

Weare an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are not applicable to other public companiesthat are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestationrequirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodicreports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the

requirementsof holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previouslyapproved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If someinvestors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stockprice may be more volatile.

Inaddition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extendedtransition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) for complying withnew or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accountingstandards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transitionperiod for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

27 
 

 

Wewill remain an “emerging growth company” until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the dateof the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, although we will losethat status sooner if our revenues exceed $1.07 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period,or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our most recentlycompleted second fiscal quarter.

Investorsmay be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparentas other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition andresults of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Asa “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporategovernance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

Mr.Dennis Nguyen, our Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is currently the beneficial owner of voting stock that provides himwith approximately 73.5% of the voting power of our voting stock. Upon the closing of this offering, Mr. Nguyen will own approximately70.1% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock (approximately 69.7% if the over-allotment is exercised in full) and our officerand directors will own collectively 78.9% of the voting power of our voting stock (approximately 78.3% if the over-allotment is exercisedin full). We currently meet the definition of a “controlled company” under the corporate governance standards for NASDAQlisted companies and for so long as we remain a controlled company under this definition, we are eligible to utilize certain exemptionsfrom the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Aslong as our officers and directors, either individually or in the aggregate, own at least 50% of the voting power of our Company, weare a “controlled company” as defined under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Forso as we are a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions fromcorporate governance rules, including:

•an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors; 

•an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our CEO must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and 

•an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors. 

Althoughwe do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely onthis exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of ourboard of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might notconsist entirely of independent directors.

 

Asa result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governancerequirements. 

Wehave not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited tothe value of our stock.

Wehave never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeablefuture. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development of our business and do not anticipate paying cashdividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends

willbe at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including, but not limited to, our financialcondition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time.In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock may be limited by Nevada state law. Accordingly, investors must rely onsales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment.Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Wewill indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.

Ourbylaws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors against claims arising from our activities, to thefullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law. If we were called upon to perform under our indemnification agreement, then the portionof our assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for our business.

INADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THISFILING, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS OPERATIONSAND THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.

DILUTION

Purchasersof our common stock in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the as adjusted net tangible book valueof their shares of common stock. Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value represents the difference between the public offeringprice per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.

Asof September 30, 2021, our historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $(15,422,527) or $(1.59)per share of common stock. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our common stock represents our total tangibleassets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities and preferred stock, which is not included within our stockholders’deficit. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents historical net tangible book value (deficit) divided by9,695,480 shares of common stock outstanding as of that date.

Ourpro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 which reflects the pro forma adjustments described in “Capitalization”,was approximately $35,820,880 or $1.82 per share of common stock. Our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share representspro forma as adjusted net tangible book value divided by 19,732,405 shares of common stock outstanding, as if such conversion occurredon September 30, 2021.

Aftergiving further effect to our sale of 2,587,322 shares of common stock and Warrants in this offering, at the asumed public offering priceof $7.73 per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and estimated offeringexpenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been $55,820,880   orapproximately $2.50   per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of$3.41 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $5.23 per share to new investors who purchase shares of commonstock in the offering. Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering is determined by subtractingpro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share paid by new investors.

Thefollowing table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors: 

Public offering price   
Historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2021  $(15,422,527)
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value attributable to pro forma adjustments described above  $51,243,407 
Pro forma  net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021  $35,820,880 
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value attributable to investors participating in this offering   20,000,000 
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value immediately after this offering   55,820,880 
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering  $5.23 

 

Thepro forma as adjusted dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and will depend on the actual public offering price andother terms of this offering determined at pricing.

Aftergiving further effect to our issuance and sale of 2,587,322 shares of common stock and Warrants offered in this offering at the assumedpublic offering price of $7.73 per share and Warrant being the last reported closing trading price of our common stock on the Nasdaqon January 12, 2022, excluding the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants relating to this offering, after deductionof the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible bookvalue as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $55,820,880 million, or $2.50 per share, to existing stockholders and animmediate dilution in tangible book value of $0.69 per share, to purchasers of common stock in this offering.

Tothe extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raiseadditional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current orfuture operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, theissuance of these securities may result in further dilution to our stockholders.

Impactof the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Thecurrent outbreak of COVID-19 has globally resulted in loss of life, business shutdowns, restrictions on travel, and widespread cancellationof social gatherings. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highlyuncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including:

 

  new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the disease in Vietnam and SEA;

 

  the duration and spread of the outbreak;

 

  the severity of travel restrictions imposed by geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures;

 

  regulatory actions taken in response to the pandemic, which may impact merchant operations, consumer and merchant pricing, and our product offerings;

 

  other business disruptions that affect our workforce;

 

  the impact on capital and financial markets; and

 

  action taken throughout the world, including in markets in which we operate, to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact.

 

Inaddition, the current outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread global health crisis and adversely affected global economiesand financial markets, and similar public health threats could do so in the future. Such events have impacted, and could in the futureimpact, demand for merchants and consumer purchase patterns, which in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

 

Sincethe onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April 2020, all our POS merchant clients are affected by COVID-19 measures for F&Bto temporary stop restaurant dine ins.

 

  Some of our restaurant clients ceased operations permanently and many were closed since June 2020 without any notice of reopening their business to date.

 

  Our largest POS client, a hotel chain for which we provide POS services to their F&B business in their hotels, ceased operations in two out of nine hotels since April 2020.

 

  The Company faces challenges to onboard new clients but at the same time losing many existing ones.

 

Withthe ongoing pandemic, Company faces challenges in our operation as follows;

 

  Disruption of operation in Vietnam, India, Singapore and US where staffs have to work from home.

 

  The coordination of rebooting of company’s recent asset acquisition of Leflair an ecommerce platform.

 

  Application of licenses are delayed as government agencies take longer time to review and process time.

 

  HR process to hire personnel are generally slow due to people not willing to leave their current job, company have to spend more time and resources.

Thespread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases,and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events and conferences and further actions may be taken as required orrecommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and other business partners.We are monitoring the global outbreak of the pandemic, in SEA, especially Vietnam and are taking steps in an effort to identify and mitigatethe adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. See “RiskFactors--Our business may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

OnNovember 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Hottab Pte Limited (the “Acquisition”).The total consideration of the acquisition is 156 shares of series C convertible preferred stock, approximately $900,000, cash consideration$150,000 and additional series C convertible preferred stock approximately $558,000. The Company accounted for the transaction as anacquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).

 

Purchase price allocation:   
Fair value of stock at closing  $900,000 
Cash paid   75,000 
      
Deferred payments- Cash   71,422 
Deferred payment- shares   531,380 
Less cash received   (15,337)
Purchase price  $1,562,465 

 

Thetransaction was accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total considerationover the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values.

 

Thedeferred payments of $633,000 were discounted using the yield on a CCC rated corporate debt for 3-month, 6-month and 9-month maturities,respectively. The implied discount is approximately $30,198, which will be amortized over the term on the payments.

 

Thepurchase price allocation resulted in $2,766,000 of goodwill, as below:

 

Acquired assets:   
Trade receivables  $6,906 
Other receivables   1,857 
      
    8,763 
Less: Assumed liabilities     
Trade payables   39,147 
Accrued liabilities and other payable   68,458 
Amounts due to related parties   1,080,904 
Deferred revenue   23,789 
      
    1,212,298 
Fair value of net liabilities assumed   (1,203,535)
Goodwill recorded   2,766,000 
Cash consideration allocated  $1,562,465 

 

Underthe acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilitiesassumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of theAcquisition, and historical and current market data. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best informationavailable and is pending, amongst other things: (i) the finalization of the valuation of the fair values and useful lives of tangibleassets acquired; (ii) the finalization of the valuations and useful lives for the intangible assets acquired; (iii) finalization of thevaluation of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and (iv) finalization of the fair value of non-cash consideration.

 

TheAcquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company hasallocated the purchase price consideration based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on theacquisition date. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed andintangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from management estimation.Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrativeexpense.

 

Thegoodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019, becausethere were continuous operating losses and negative cash flows incurred subsequently. Under ASC 350-20-50, the Company recognized thegoodwill impairment loss by comparing the actual operating results of Hottab to the profit forecast and a negative performance is resulted.

 

Duringthe measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or toconclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or therecould be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtainedabout facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of theseassets or liabilities as of that date. No additional assets or liabilities were recognized during the measurement period, or the changesto the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized.

 

Thefollowing unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisitions had been completed on January1, 2019:

TheCompany suffered from an accumulated deficit of $28,116,309 at September 30, 2021. The Company incurred net loss of $15,528,998 duringthe nine months ended September 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of this financial statement, without additional debt or equity financing.The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders. Managementbelieves the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company willbe successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

 

Theregistration statement for the Company’s initial public offering became effective on November 8, 2021. On November 8, 2021, theCompany entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, related to the offering of 2,888,889 shares of the Company’scommon stock (the “Firm Share”), at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement,the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional 236,111 shares of common stock(the “Option Shares”) to cover over-allotments. The Company has raised funding from initial public offering and Option sharesof $26,000,001 and 2,124,999. In addition, the Company has raised $8,019,461, net of issuance cost in the form of equity subsequent toissuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements respectively in the form of equity subsequentto issuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements and based upon the capital raised, theCompany believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its working capital requirements for the next 12 months.

Theseconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classificationof assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

•Use of estimates and assumptions

 

Inpreparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operationscould be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables,assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, imputed interest on due to related parties, and impairment of long-term assets, businessacquisition allocation of purchase consideration, and deferred tax valuation allowance.

 

• Basis of consolidation

 

Thecondensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-companybalances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, certain amounts in the prior periods’consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

•Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cashand cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutionsand all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cash and cash equivalent was amounted to $5,722,450 and $506,666, respectively.

 

TheCompany currently has bank deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. which does not exceed FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insuranceprovides protection for bank deposits up to $250,000, so there were uninsured balance of $4,895,306 and $208,635 in parent entity asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company has uninsured bank deposits with a financial institutionoutside the U.S. All uninsured bank deposits are held at high quality credit institutions.

 

•Accounts receivable

 

Accountsreceivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthinessand their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past duebalances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Companyspecifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitorthe progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid accordingto payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a courtof law.

• Property, plant and equipment

 

Plantand equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculatedon the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after takinginto account their estimated residual values:

 

    Expected useful lives
Computer equipment   3 years
Office equipment   5 years

 

Expendituresfor repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciationare removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferredtax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

TheCompany and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgmentis required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinarycourse of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax auditissues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different fromthe carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

•Foreign currencies translation and transactions

 

Thereporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements havebeen expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary is operating in the Republic of Vietnam and India and maintains itsbooks and record in its local currency, Vietnam Dong (“VND”) and Indian Rupee (“INR), respectively, which are the functionalcurrency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidationpurposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance withASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Shareholders’equity is translated using the historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Thegains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulatedother comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholder’s equity.

 

Translationof amounts from SGD$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and2020:

 

    September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020
Period-end SGD$:US$ exchange rate   $ 0.73534     $ 0.73118  
Period average SGD$:US$ exchange rate   $ 0.74658     $ 0.71922  

 

Translationof amounts from VND into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and2020:

 

    September 30, 2021   September 30, 2020

Translationgains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currencyare translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

ForeignExchange Loss (Gain). We recorded a foreign exchange gain of $8,859 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a gainof $51,183 for the same period in 2020. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily unrealized (non-cash) in nature and results fromthe re-measuring of specific transactions and monetary accounts in a currency other than the functional currency. For example, a U.S.Dollar transaction which occurs in Singapore is re-measured at the period-end to Singapore dollar amount if it has not been settled previously.The foreign exchange loss or gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the SingaporeDollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the Singapore dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased0.56%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.73534 as compared to 0.73118 at September 30, 2020. In addition, a U.S. Dollartransaction which occurs in India is re-measured at the period-end to India dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. Theforeign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the India Dollar comparedto the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the India dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 0.79%. At September30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.013463 as compared to 0.013570 at September 30, 2020. A U.S. Dollar transaction which occurs in Vietnamis re-measured at the period-end to Vietnamese dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange gain for thethree months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the Vietnamese Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. FromSeptember 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the Vietnamese dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 2.32%. At September 30, 2021, the exchangerate was 0.000044 as compared to 0.000043 at September 30, 2020.

 

•Comprehensive income

 

ASC220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its componentsand accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulatedother comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consistsof changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computationof income tax expense or benefit.

 

•Leases

 

TheCompany adopted ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leasesare included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidatedbalance sheets. 

 

ROUassets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligationto make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based onthe present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Companygenerally use the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar termof the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise thatoption. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Inaccordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building,etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.).Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract

consideration(including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components andnon-lease components.

 

•Related parties

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuantto section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equitysecurities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15,to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharingtrusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company;f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policiesof the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; andg) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownershipinterest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting;parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Thecondensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensationarrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions thatare eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosuresshall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to whichno amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other informationdeemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactionsfor each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the termsfrom that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presentedand, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

•Commitments and contingencies

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the datethe financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more futureevents occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exerciseof judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claimsthat may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as wellas the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

Ifthe assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liabilitycan be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessmentindicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would bedisclosed.

 

Losscontingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will notmaterially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

•Fair value of financial instruments

 

TheCompany follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financialinstruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishesa framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB AccountingStandards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair valueinto three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy definedby paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

    

Level2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observableas of the reporting date.

    

Level3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

49 
 

 

Financialassets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similartechniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities andthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more thanone level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement ofthe instrument.

 

Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits,prepayments and other receivables, contract liabilities, accrued liabilities and other payables, amounts due to related parties and operatinglease liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

•Cost of goods sold

 

Costof goods sold consists of the cost of hardware, software and payroll, which are directly attributable to the sales of products. The costalso consists of costs of materials which has been sold attributable to the sales of high-end products. Additional costs may includefreight paid to acquire the goods, custom duties, sales or use taxes not recoverable paid on materials used, and any fee for purchase

 

•Share-based compensation

 

Pursuantto ASU 2018-07, the Company follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurementand recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (employee or non employee), are measured at grant-date fairvalue of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue. Restricted stock units are valued using the market price of theCompany’s common shares on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2021, those shares issued for service compensations were immediatelyvested, and therefore this amount is thus recognized as expense with an offset to preferred or September 30, 2021 and 2020, the stock-basedcompensations are recorded in the General and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations andOther Comprehensive Loss.”

 

•Business combinations

 

TheCompany follows ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation. ASC 805 requires mostidentifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “fairvalue.” The statement applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contractalone. Under ASC 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Accounting for goodwill requiressignificant management estimates and judgment. Management performs periodic reviews of the carrying value of goodwill to determine whetherevents and circumstances indicate that an impairment in value may have occurred. A variety of factors could cause the carrying valueof goodwill to become impaired. A write-down of the carrying value of goodwill could result in a non-cash charge, which could have anadverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

 

•Earnings per share

 

Basicper share amounts are calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding during the year, excluding unvested restricted stock units.The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under thetreasury stock method, only “in the money” dilutive instruments impact the diluted calculations in computing diluted earningsper share. Diluted calculations reflect the weighted average incremental common shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutiveoptions assuming the proceeds would be used to repurchase shares at average market prices for the period.

EmergingGrowth Company

 

Weare an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we arenot required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards that have different effective dates for public andprivate companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, (ii) provide an auditor’s attestation reporton management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) requiringmandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additionalinformation about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB afterApril 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise. However, we have elected to “opt out” of the extended transition perioddiscussed in (i) and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption ofsuch standards are required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of suchextended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

•Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standardsetting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that theimpact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results ofoperations upon adoption.

AccountingStandards Adopted

 

InAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifiescertain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginningafter December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have an any impact on the financial statements.

 

InNovember 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interactionbetween ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participantsin a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludesan entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customerfor that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effectivefor interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have anany impact on the financial statements.

 

AccountingStandards Issued, Not Adopted

 

InJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustmentto retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluatingthe potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impacton its financial statements.

 

InDecember 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”),which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesin an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifiesaspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactionsthat result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscalyears beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be madeprospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

InMarch 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”: The amendments in this updateare to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to a variety of ASC topics. The changes in ASU 2020-03 are not expectedto have a significant effect on current accounting practices. The ASU improves various financial instrument topics in the Codificationto increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process by making the Codification easier to understandand easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companiesfor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact theadoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

InAugust 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contractsin Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments andcontracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurementof convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective forfiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, butno earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currentlyevaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

MarketOpportunity

Weexpect that continued strong economic expansion, robust population growth, rising level of urbanization, the emergence of the middleclass and the increasing rate of adoption of mobile technology will provide market opportunities for our Company in SEA and South Asia.SEA and South Asia are large economies and, as of 2020, their respective GDP were US$3.1 trillion and US$3.5 trillion, respectively.In comparison, the respective GDP for both the EU and the US totaled US$15 trillion and US$20.8 trillion in 2020. SEA has experiencedrapid economic growth rates in recent years, far exceeding growth in major world economies such as Japan, the EU and the US. Accordingto the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since 2010, SEA has averaged 4.6% GDP growth, compared to 0.7% for Japan, 0.8% for the EU and1.7% for the US. The three largest and most populous countries in SEA are Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam with a combined populationof approximately 500 million people.

Vietnam’sGDP growth averaged 6.1% from 2011 to 2020 and is expected to average 7% for the next five years. The size of Vietnam’s economygrew from US$39 billion in 2000 to US$340 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach US$530 billion by 2025. SMEs are a dynamic, drivingforce in Vietnam’s economy, contributing 40% to its GDP last year. Similarly, according to IMF, South Asia has averaged 5.2% annualGDP growth since 2010 with the size of the economy of South Asia growing from US$2 trillion in 2010 to US$3.3 trillion in 2020.

55 
 

 

BothSEA and South Asia continue to enjoy robust population growth. The United Nations Population Division estimates that the population ofthe SEA countries in 2000 was approximately 525 million people growing to 668 million in 2020. Vietnam has a population of approximately98 million people today compared to 80 million people in 20002. According to the United Nations, the population of South Asiatotaled 1.9 billion people in 2020 with 1.3 billion people in India alone.

Thispopulation growth is driving rising levels of urbanization. Mirroring the demographic trends in China more than 25 years ago, Vietnameseare moving to cities in greater numbers. In the past two decades, Vietnam’s urbanization rate has increased steadily at approximately3% per year since 2000, with 36% of the population now living in cities. By comparison, India’s urban population has increasedover 2% per year since 2000, with 34% of India’s population living in cities. India’s capital, New Delhi, adds almost a millionnew inhabitants a year.

Thisurbanization trend is highly correlated with the growth of the middle class. Simply put, urbanization drives middle class consumptiondemand. According to the World Bank, Vietnam’s middle class currently accounts for 13% of the population and is expected to reach26% by 2026. Fitch Solutions predicts that Vietnam’s real household spending will expand at an annual average annual growth rateof 7.5% year-on-year from 2021 to 2024. Fitch Solutions notes that India’s middle-class households are growing, with 36.6 millionhouseholds expected to earn a net income of more than US$10,000 by 2024, placing India firmly in the middle-income bracket category.

Anddespite the ongoing effects from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Internet economy continues to boom in SEA and South Asia. According to GoogleTemasek e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report, Internet usage in the region increased with 40 million new users added in 2020 for a total of 400 millioncompared to 360 million in 2019. Seventy percent of SEA’s population is now online, compared to approximately twenty percent in2009. In addition, SEA mobile Internet penetration now reaches more than 67%. According to Google Temasek e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report, e-commerce,online media and food delivery adoption and usage surged with the total value of goods and services sold via the Internet, or gross merchandisevalue GMV, in SEA, expected to reach more than US$100 billion by year end 2020 according to Google, Temasek, Bain SEA Report 2020. Infact, the SEA Internet sector GMV is forecast to grow to over US$300 billion by 2025.

Vietnam’smobile penetration rate has reached 95% in city areas and among SEA countries, Vietnamese consumers spend the most time online for personalpurposes, just after Singaporean users. According to Google Temasek e-Conomy SEA 2020 Report, total GMV of e-Commerce spending in Vietnamis currently US$ 14 billion and is forecast to grow to over US$ 50 billion by 2025.

Withmore than half a billion Internet subscribers, South Asia contains some of the largest and fastest growing markets for digital consumers,and the rapid growth has been propelled by public and private sector alike. India and Bangladesh lead the charge in Internet adoption,and it is expected that by 2025 close to two thirds of consumers in these markets will be using mobile internet. As consumers in thesemarkets look increasingly towards online platforms to shop, the total value of internet-based transactions has grown tremendously andis expected to keep doing so. Total GMV of South Asia’s Internet economy is expected to skyrocket from US$74 billion in 2020 toUS$210 billion in 2025.

Webelieve that these ongoing positive economic and demographic trends in SEA and South Asia propel demand for our Platform.

VietnamEconomic Growth

Solideconomic growth and favorable demographic drivers increased the size of Vietnam’s economy from US$158 billion in 2000 to US$807billion in 2020 according to the World Bank. Indeed, Vietnam has been one of the fastest growing economies within SEA over the past twodecades. According to MacroTrends, Vietnam’s GDP growth has ranged between 5.25% to 7.55% from 2001 to 2019. And despite the emergenceof Covid-19 pandemic, Vietnam is leading the economic rebound in SEA countries with the World Bank forecasting Vietnam’s GDP growthrate to reach 2.8% for 2020. By comparison according to the Asian Development Bank, SEA GDP growth rate in 2020 is forecast to be -3.8%.By comparison, Reuters projects China’s GDP to expand by only 2.1% in 2020. And according to Statista, Vietnam’s GDP growthrate is expected to rebound to 6.7% in 2021 and average 7% until 2024.

Byfocusing on trading with its richer Asian neighbors as part of the global supply chain to drive economic growth, Vietnam mirrors thesocio-economic development path of the so-called Asian Tiger economies of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Vietnam tremendouslybenefits from participation in global and regional free trade agreements, including ASEAN, APEC and RCEP, all of which cover over 80%of world GDP. In addition, the manufacturing industry contributes just under 20% of GDP versus 60% in Asia Tigers during their peak growthphase, which suggests a strong middle-class expansion and rise in disposable income will occur in the next decade. And SMEs are drivingthis middle-class expansion with SMEs contributing 40% of the output of Vietnam’s economy. We believe that these factors indicateVietnam is on a clear path from a lower GDP bracket to top of middle-income bracket of the world’s economies.

VietnamPopulation Growth and Favorable Demographics

Vietnamcurrently has an estimated population of approximately 97.3 million people compared to approximately 79.9 million people in 2000, whichrepresents approximately 22% growth during such period.3 According to the World Bank, Vietnam’s population is expectedto increase to 120 million by 2050. Furthermore, Vietnam’s population is relatively young and median age stands at 32 with morethan 70 percent of the population under 35 years of age. By comparison, the median age stands at 38 for China and 38 for the US, respectively.

 

Growthof Vietnam’s Middle Class

Vietnam’sincreasing rate of urbanization is highly correlated with its expanding middle class and increasing levels of consumer spending. Parallelingthe demographic trends in China more than 25 years ago, Vietnamese are moving from the countryside to the cities in increasingly greaternumbers in search of better economic opportunities and higher standards of living. According to the World Bank, Vietnam’s urbanizationrate of 37% today closely resembles China’s urbanization rate in the late 1990s. According to Worldometer, Vietnam’s urbanizationrate has increased from 24% in 2000 to 37% in 2020, compared to 50% in China and 75% in developed world, which indicates the significanceof Vietnam’s potential to urbanize. Furthermore, Statista forecasts that the urban population will surpass that of rural areasby 2050.

Thisurbanization trend is highly correlated with the growth of the middle class. Simply put, urban dwellers demand middle class productsand services. And their high levels of disposable income earned from manufacturing employment is driving the growth of Vietnam’smiddle class. With per capita income for middle income countries ranging from US$2,800 to US$10,000, Vietnam’s middle class currentlyaccounting for 13 percent of the population and is expected to reach 26 percent by 2026.

Asmore people move to the cities, they will acquire steady employment and increasingly more disposable income and consume in greater quantities.For example, urban discretionary spending has skyrocketed in the decade after 2010 with consumer spending nearly tripling in the lastdecade to US$179 billion as of 2020. We believe that such trends inevitably will lead to a bigger middle class and accompanying demandfor middle class needs, products and services, including demand for our SoPa, Leflair and #HOTTAB-branded products.

Adoptionof Internet Mobile Technology in Vietnam

Inline with the rising urbanization trend and increased consumer spending, the adoption of mobile technologies by Vietnamese consumershas also grown in the past decade. Today, Vietnam’s mobile penetration rate has reached 95% in city areas and among SEA countries,Vietnamese consumers spend the most time online for personal purposes, just after Singaporean users.

Inaddition to new online users, COVID-19 led to an acceleration of digital consumption as users tried digital services for the first time.For example, 41% of Vietnam’s digital service consumers started using the service directly as a result of the pandemic. And thisnew digital acceleration is sticky with 94% of new digital service consumers intending to continue with the service post-pandemic.

Challengesof Digitization Faced by Merchants

Vietnamesemerchants increasingly recognize that it is almost impossible to grow and sustain their business without maintaining an active onlinepresence. Online orders and relevant information about the market of a particular area are incontrovertibly essential for retaining aconstant stream of revenue leveraging existing resources, assessing excess capacity and inventory, making overall business decisions.Creating a digital platform within only one brand is a challenge for independent businesses given the nature of the process as well astheir limited resources to handle the system and to persuade the customers to stay within the system. Realistically, an average consumeris not looking to install a separate mobile application for each restaurant or service provider she desires to patronize. Furthermore,not all the businesses can afford Internet advertising and/or even constant Internet presence through their own websites. Ultimately,businesses are forced to exist in a framework of what is offered by technology companies that create and maintain various type of interest-boundplatforms: for travelling, for food delivery services, for transportation and other products and services.

Becauseof these market constraints, merchants in Vietnam rely on multiple platforms to reach their respective audiences. Platforms such as ‘closed-loop’programs and third-party wallets/apps/POS systems have become increasingly popular in Vietnam as a result. However, from the point ofview of the merchants, these existing platforms possess a number of disadvantages. First, the platforms force merchants to provide cashdiscounts to customers. Such cash discounts inevitably affect profit margins. Second, cash discount programs do not create customer loyaltyas consumers visit the merchants simply due to the cost savings. Finally, merchants are not able to aggregate consumer data from eachplatform nor build effective customer profiles. This situation results in the inability to effectively measure promotion programs.

Limitationsof Current Platforms in Meeting Consumers’ Needs

Vietnameseconsumers face a confusing array of multiple apps in the marketplace. First, such apps and websites offer more functionality than vendorsof various goods and services can possibly keep up with. Second, although changing, Vietnamese merchants historically operate on a cash-onlybasis. As a result, various payment systems are not mutually interconnected and do not allow consumers to spend bonus points of one platformearned from travelling in order to purchase goods or services at another cash-only or offline restaurant. Finally, consumers do not receivepersonalized deals based on their purchases and behavior, which limits the attractiveness of such apps and websites.

OurBusiness Model

Withour dual facing business model, Society Pass sits at the nexus of our Society Pass ecosystem. For our consumers, we offer personalizedpromotions and expect to offer Society Points in the second quarter of 2022. For our merchants, we sell POS software, vendor financeand merchant marketing program. Our business model incents both consumers and merchants to transact with one another to receive personalizedoffers, Society Points (when launched) and generate revenues.

OurPlatform consists of seven interconnected interfaces:

1)   SoPa Loyalty App;

 

2)   Sopa.asia Loyalty Marketplace Website;

 

3)   #HOTTAB Biz App;

Thediagram below is a representation of our Society Pass Platform:

ConsumerFacing Business

Vietnameseconsumers face a plethora of ordering, delivery and loyalty websites and apps. As a result, consumers almost never receive personalizeddeals based on their purchases and behavior. Instead, they are offered ‘one size fits all’ promotions unlikely to be relevantto them as individual consumers. SoPa and Leflair-branded consumer businesses aim to change this market dynamic by personalizing dealsbased on consumers’ purchase history, location and preferences. Because our technology platform allows us to know when, where,how much and sometimes why purchases of goods are made, our SoPa and Leflair interfaces will be able to offer personalized deals to ourusers. We believe that this is a unique market differentiator for our company.

MerchantFacing Business

Merchantsin Vietnam are forced to rely on multiple standalone platforms such as ‘closed-loop’ loyalty programs, third-party digitalwallets/storefronts and third-party POS systems, all of which do not fully integrate with merchants’ existing platforms. As a result,merchants find it difficult to effectively aggregate consumer data gathered from each platform, build valuable customer profiles, andmeasure the effectiveness of their promotions beyond the merchant’s reach. Furthermore, these existing technology platforms decreaseprofit margins by forcing merchants to provide economically unfeasible cash discounts/rebates to consumers. Since cash discounts provideinstant gratification instead of building a bond with the merchant, such platforms do not incent consumers to patronize merchants forcustomer loyalty but rather solely for economic benefits.

Weserve our merchants with an integrated technology ecosystem that addresses and personalizes their technology needs. Our #HOTTAB products(#HOTTAB Merchant POS solution, Hottab.net admin website, #HOTTAB Biz App, and SME financing packages), allows merchants to effortlesslyrecord transactions, market offers, set discounts, and execute redemptions/rewards online or offline.

Belowis an illustrative description of #HOTTAB Biz and Hottab.net admin website easy deployment:

RevenueModel

Ourrevenues are generated from a diversified a mix of marketplace activities and the services we provide merchants to help them grow theirbusinesses. Our revenue streams consist of consumer facing and merchant facing revenues. Consumer facing revenues consist of sellinglifestyle products, through our Leflair.com website and Leflair App, as well as ordering fees and delivery fees, generally as a percentageof the total transaction value, are collected from every transaction processed through SoPa Loyalty App and SoPa.asia Loyalty Marketplacewebsite. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter of 2022, consumer facing revenues shall include fees collected from the issuance,cash out, redemption and expiration of Society Points. Merchant facing revenues consist of subscription fees collected from merchantsusing services under the #Hottab ecosystem and revenues in the form of commissions from the selling and equipment financing of POS Hardwareto merchants.

ConsumerFacing Business Revenue Model

Revenuestreams for our consumer facing business model include:

  1) E-commerce revenues recognized through the selling of lifestyle products through our Leflair.com website and Leflair App;

 

  2) Ordering Fees which constitute the fees that various merchants pay for each completed transaction on the Platform, exclusive of delivery fees charged. The fees are usually taken as a fixed percentage of the total transaction value;

 

  3) Delivery fees which include an upfront fixed fee and additional variable fees based on the distance;

 

  4) Beginning in the second quarter of 2022 loyalty revenues shall be comprised of (i) the fees paid by merchants wherein they issue product discounts to consumers in the form of Society Points instead of cash, (ii) the fees paid by merchants wherein they accept the tender of Society Points instead of cash, and (iii) the fees paid by merchants wherein they convert accumulated Society Points into cash. See “Business —Sources of Revenue —Society Points.” Additionally, Society Point revenues also include the revenues recognized whenever Society Points expire.

 

MerchantFacing Business Revenue Model

Revenuestreams for our merchant facing business model include:

  1) Subscription Fees, which consist of the fees we charge merchants to access the Merchant Marketing Program. As such, these merchants enjoy discounts on ordering fees, POS systems, and loyalty issuances in addition to marketing services performed by #HOTTAB;

 

  2) We currently market and sell our #HOTTAB POS software and, when available, expect to market and sell our #HOTTAB branded mobile payment device to merchants in Vietnam and Nepal by strategically marketing to F&B and Hotel merchants. We collect a fixed fee per month based on the number of systems employed and revenues from selling such devices;

 

  3) Optional add-on software services which include Analytics and Chatbox capabilities at a fixed fee per month.

 

  4) Commissions earned through selling third party hardware and equipment (i.e., cashier stations, waiter tablets and printers) to merchants.

We also earn commissions from our equipment vendor on a quarterly basis based on our ability to surpass pre-agreed sales targets.

 

  5) Vendor Financing. We will collect brokerage fees whenever we facilitate financing transactions between merchants and one of our partner financial institutions. We charge merchants a percentage of the total amount to be financed.

SocietyPoints

Consumersconfront a dizzying array of ‘closed-loop’ loyalty programs. Although such platforms allow users to accumulate loyalty points,they have one inherent fundamental flaw: these close loop platforms are only valid with the issuing merchant. In other words, closedloop programs give consumers little freedom to redeem loyalty points for something they value at any given time.

Weexpect that, once launched in the second quarter of 2022, our Society Points will begin to resolve this issue and underpin the entireSociety Pass ecosystem. Society Points will be available in the consumer/retail sectors in SEA and South Asia and is expected to createpermanent customer loyalty for merchants. As such, our Platform is ‘open loop’, meaning SoPa consumers and #HOTTAB merchantscan earn, issue and redeem our Society Points which, in turn, will enhance customer experience by rewarding users for their loyalty to#HOTTAB merchants. Using discount coupons (not including cash discounts) issued by merchants, consumers will be able to spend SocietyPoints on deals they want, when they want them and from merchants they love. Consumers’ allegiance to Society Pass ecosystem isstrengthened as they earn and redeem benefits while merchants issue Society Points, coupons, and other bonuses through specifically tailoredmarketing campaigns. Society Points will be a tier-structured program, enticing frequent users by increasing reward values as the usersconsume/engage with more products/activities. We will set the Society Points conversion ratio and limit its permitted use and/or redemption.Merchants will choose payment consideration in cash or Society Points in lieu of cash.

Thediagram below illustrates how Society Points will be issued, circulated and redeemed

TheSociety Points circulation process is expected to be the following. First, assuming a US$10 food order and a 20% discount via issuanceof Society Points, a SoPa consumer orders food via SoPa App or SoPa.asia website. Payment of US$10 is effectuated via the consumer’sSoPa account through one of SoPa’s payment integration partners. Second, as the consumer completes the US$10 purchase, MerchantA purchases 2 Society Points from the Company while SoPa instantly credits 2 Society Points to Merchant A’s account. Third, theconsumer earns 2 Society Points from the #HOTTAB merchant through a specifically tailored marketing campaign and her SoPa account isimmediately credited with 2 Society Points. The level of discounting or the number of issued Society Points will depend solely on themerchant.

 

74 
 

 

SocietyPass will recognize a number of revenue streams in this example. First, the Company earns ordering fees after splitting ordering feeswith its payment integration partner. Second, if there is a delivery of the food, the Company earns delivery fees after splitting deliveryfees with its delivery partner. Finally, the Company will earn a 1% transaction fee on the issuance of Society Points.

Inthe example above, the consumer pays US$10 in cash to Merchant A. However, she believes that she only spent US$8 because she receives2 for the food purchase. The consumer gets a great deal.

MerchantA receives US$10 in cash from the consumer but pays US$2 for the 2 Society Points issued to the consumer. So, Merchant A receives a netof US$8 but Merchant A has acquired a loyal customer through the issuance of 2 Society Points as part of Merchant A’s tailoredmarketing campaign. Merchant A gets a great deal.

Wewill earn ordering, delivery and loyalty transaction fees because of this transaction. Society Pass gets a great deal.

Theconsumer will have 2 Society Points in her SoPa account and will be able to use them at any of the merchants on our SoPa/Leflair/#HOTTABecosystem.

PendingLitigation

TheCompany is currently litigating three cases pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and one case pending in the UnitedStates District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Twocases are employment actions filed by former employees who seek compensation alleged to be due pursuant to agreements with the Company.Both of the employees are represented by the same counsel and filed their cases in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Countyof New York, in December 2019.

Inone of those actions, a former employee claims entitlement to compensation and a bonus totaling $566,000 and 39,000-58,500 shares ofCompany common stock, together with costs. The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims in the proceeding for$1,500,000 to $4,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with interest and costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’sbreach of contract, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty. The former employee has respondedto the Company’s counterclaims and this action is in the discovery phase of the litigation.

Inthe other employment action, another former employee claims entitlement to salary payments and expense reimbursement in the amount of$122,042.60, plus liquidated damages, together with costs. This former employee also claims entitlement to 516,300 to 760,800 sharesof the Company’s common stock. In addition, this action also includes claims by a plaintiff-entity alleging entitlement to $8 millionin shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock. The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims againstthe former employee in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with costs, arising from, inter alia,the former employee’s breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference and fraud. The former employee has respondedto the Company’s counterclaims. The judge assigned to this action retired at the end of 2020. A new judge has been assigned andthis action is progressing through the discovery phase of litigation.

Thethird case also involves one of those former employees; therein, a Company affiliate filed suit in February 2020 seeking enforcement,by way of specific performance, of an agreement which entitles the affiliate to purchase all of the 99 percent of the shares of the plaintiff-entitywhich alleges entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in one of the employment actions describedabove. The former employee has responded to the Company’s complaint in this action with a motion to dismiss, which was later withdrawnby same, and then by way of an answer without counterclaims. The judge assigned to this action has announced his retirement and the casehas not yet been reassigned.

TheCompany was in an AAA arbitration defending allegations of breach of an agreement. The Demand for Arbitration therein, dated August 25,2020, asserted that the Petitioner, an LLC, had an agreement with the Company and its CEO granting the Petitioner the right to requirethe Company to redeem certain common stock in the Company for a cash payment.

 

TheDemand alleged that the Petitioner submitted a Redemption Notice, as required under the alleged agreement, obligating the Company toredeem the shares. The Demand alleged that the failure of the Company to redeem the shares and pay Petitioner further obligated the Companyto provide additional common stock to the Petitioner. The amount alleged to be due to the Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said tobe $590,461.94 and growing daily while the number of additional common stock shares alleged to be due to Petitioner as of July 31, 2020was said to be 708,542,582 and growing, daily.

 

Inorder to avoid an adverse award, the Company agreed to settle the matter for the sum of $550,000. No additional shares were includedin the settlement agreement. The settlement sum was required to be paid in two tranches, with $250,000 to have been paid on or beforeMay 28, 2021 and the remaining $300,000 to be paid on or before June 30, 2021. The Company made the required settlement payments andthe matter is now considered closed.

Onor about March 5, 2021, SOSV IV LLC (“SOSV”) sent a demand letter to the Company in regard to its investment in Hottab Pte.Ltd. (“Hottab”).

Inthis letter, and the subsequently filed lawsuits, SOSV alleges that it entered into an investment arrangement with Hottab in which SOSVwas to receive five percent (5%) of the common stock of Hottab and entered into an Accelerator Contract for Equity (the “ACE”)pursuant to which it alleges to have invested a sum of $168,000 with Hottab. These events are alleged to have taken place prior to theCompany’s acquisition of Hottab. SOSV alleges that the Company subsequently acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hottab, whichit alleges triggered a liquidity event clause under the ACE requiring the Company, by way of its ownership of Hottab, to pay SOSV twiceits investment, or $336,000.

 

SOSVfurther alleges that subsequent to a term sheet between the Company and Hottab being executed, the Company entered into an agreementto purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Hottab from Hottab Holdings Limited (“Hottab Holdings”).As SOSV does not have any interest in Hottab Holdings, it did not receive any consideration as allegedly provided under the ACE.

 

Uponthese allegations, SOSV asserts causes of action sounding in fraudulent misrepresentation/concealment, breach of contract, breach ofthe covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quantum meruit and/or unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, oppression of minority shareholder,and breach of fiduciary duties. SOSV seeks damages in the amount of $336,000.00 in addition damages equal to the value of SOSV’salleged equity in Hottab or in the alternative shares of the Company in an amount equal to SOSV’s ownership interest in Hottabat the time of the purchase of Hottab’s shares from Hottab Holdings.

 

Initially,SOSV filed suit in the District Court for New Jersey on June 10, 2021. SOSV voluntarily dismissed its New Jersey lawsuit and on October29, 2021, re-filed the action in the Southern District of New York. The New York lawsuit was also voluntarily dismissed by SOSV. However,SOSV may choose to re-file its lawsuit. 

 

TheCompany denies the accusations of SOSV and intends to vigorously defend this matter if the action is re-filed. As the lawsuit has beenvoluntarily dismissed, there have been no proceedings and we are unable to prognosticate a likelihood of success, or whether SOSV willre-file the action.

 

Asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $75,000 and $75,000 outstanding on this account, respectively.

Asof September 30, 2021, the Company does not expect any losses from these legal proceedings and accordingly has not accrued any provisionsfor them.

Anti-TakeoverEffects of Nevada Law

BusinessCombinations

The“business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”)generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various

“combination”transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became aninterested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtainedsuch status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by theaffirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extendsbeyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

  the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or

 

  if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

 

96 
 

 

A“combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer,or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregatemarket value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equalto 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or netincome of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interestedstockholder.

Ingeneral, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years,did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change incontrol attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholdersthe opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

ControlShare Acquisitions

The“control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations”that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents,and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances,from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirerobtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or morebut less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, oncean acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “controlshares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisionsalso provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all votingpower, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand paymentfor the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

Acorporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articlesof incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring personhas acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the controlshare statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.

Theeffect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person,will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or specialmeeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

PriceStabilization, Short Positions

Inconnection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of ourcommon stock during and after this offering, including:

  stabilizing transactions;

 

  short sales;

 

  purchases to cover positions created by short sales;

 

  imposition of penalty bids; and

 

  syndicate covering transactions.

Stabilizingtransactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our commonstock while this offering is in progress. Stabilization transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizingbids do not exceed a specified maximum. These transactions may also include making short sales of our common stock, which involve thesale by the underwriters of a greater number of common stock and Warrants than they are required to purchase in this offering and purchasingcommon stock on the open market to cover short positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered short sales,”which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above,or may be “naked short sales,” which are short positions in excess of that amount.

Theunderwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing sharesin the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available forpurchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.

Nakedshort sales are short sales made in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position bypurchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that theremay be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchased in thisoffering.

99 
 

 

Theunderwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwritingdiscount received by it because Maxim has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short coveringtransactions.

Thesestabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales, the imposition of penalty bids and syndicatecovering transactions may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding adecline in the market price of our common stock. As a result of these activities, the price of our common stock may be higher than theprice that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market,in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect thatthe transactions described above may have on the price of the shares. Neither we, nor any of the underwriters make any representationthat the underwriters will engage in these stabilization transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinuedwithout notice.

Opinionon the consolidated financial statements 

 

Wehave audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Society Pass Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, other comprehensive loss, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows foreach of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the consolidatedfinancial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two yearsin the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantialdoubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussedin Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and had an accumulateddeficit that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events andconditions and management’s plans in regard to these

mattersare also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcomeof this uncertainty.

 

Basisfor Opinion

 

Theseconsolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinionon the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PublicCompany Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordancewith the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

Weconducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As partof our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressingan opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Ouraudits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whetherdue to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidenceregarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principlesused and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SpunOut

 

OnDecember 31, 2019, the Company recently spun out Food Society Group Limited (Food Business), which aims to develop and commercializechain of restaurants in Vietnam.

 

Inconnection with the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company considered the guidance describedin the SEC’s codified Staff Accounting Bulletins, Topic 5, Section Z, paragraph 7, “Accounting for the Spin-off of a subsidiary”. 

 

TheCompany’s initial registration of its securities under the 1933 Securities Act and the spin off transaction of the Food SocietyGroup Limited occurred prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement. 

 

TheCompany considered the following facts and circumstances in concluding omitting the Food Society Group Limited results of operationsand financial position in the consolidated financial statements presented in the registration statement:

 

• The Company’s operations as a developer of an e-commerce platform and the Food Society Group Limited operations as a two(2) retailrestaurants are in dissimilar business that would ordinarily be distinguished as reportable segments as defined by FASB ASC 280-10-50-10.

 

• The Company and the subsidiary have been managed and financed historically as if autonomous  

 

• The Company and the subsidiary have no common facilities or costs

 

• The Company  and subsidiary are operated and financed autonomously after the  spinoff, and

 

• There are no material financial commitments , guarantees or contingent liabilities to each other after the spin off

 

Accordingly,the Company has elected to characterize the spin-off of the Food Society Group Limited as a change in the Company’s reporting andpresent its historical financial statements as if the Company never had an investment in the subsidiary.

 

Thisspun off our subsidiary Food Society Group Limited which owns 100% of Vietnam Eats (Hong Kong) Limited which owns 100% of Loft RestaurantService Trading Company Limited that operates 2 restaurants in Vietnam.

 

ThomasO’Connor, our former Chief Marketing Officer, serves as the legal representative of Loft Restaurant Service Trading Company Limited.Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, Dennis Nguyen., is the Chairman of Food Society Group Limited’sboard of directors.

 

Thetwo restaurants were making losses for the financial year of 2019. The Company wanted to focus on building our loyalty technology platform.On December 20, 2019’s Board of Directors meeting the CFO presented the case for the

spunoff. The board voted on the February 18, 2020 to spin out the Food Society Group Limited via a proportionate distribution of shareholdingpercentage to the existing shareholders as at December 31, 2019.

NOTE—2 GOINGCONCERN MATTERS

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates therealization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

TheCompany suffered from a working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of $2,422,868 and $12,587,311 at December 31, 2020. The Companyincurred net loss of $3,827,988 during the year ended December 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’sability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of this financial statement, without additionaldebt or equity financing. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from itsshareholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurancethat the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

 

Theseconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classificationof assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE—3 SUMMARYOF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Basis of presentation

 

Theseaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in theUnited States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

  Use of estimates and assumptions

 

Inpreparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operationscould be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables,assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, imputed interest on due to related parties, and impairment of long-term assets, businessacquisition allocation of purchase consideration, inputs used in the calculation of equity instrument and deferred tax valuation allowance.

 

  Basis of consolidation

 

Theconsolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balancesand transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

  Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cashand cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutionsand all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As ofDecember 31, 2020 and 2019, the cash and cash equivalent was amounted to $506,666 and $606,491, respectively.

  Accounts receivable

 

Accountsreceivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthinessand their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past duebalances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Companyspecifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitorthe progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid accordingto payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a courtof law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential forrecovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

 

  Inventories

 

Inventoriesare stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include hardwareequipment and peripheral costs which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandised goods. The Company provides inventoryallowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. During the year ended December 31, 2020and 2019, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $5,561 and $139, respectively. The inventories were amountedto $0 and $133 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

  Property, plant and equipment

 

Plantand equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculatedon the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after takinginto account their estimated residual values:

 

  Expected useful lives
Computer equipment 3 years
Office equipment 5 years

 

Expendituresfor repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciationare removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Inaccordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assetssuch as plant and equipment and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changesin circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used isevaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generatedby the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carryingamounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

 

  Revenue recognition

 

TheCompany adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU2014-09”). Under ASU 2014-09, the Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenueto be recognized as it fulfils its obligations under each of its agreements:

SoftwareLicense Revenues — The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through amonthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customerfor such services. The Company’s software sale arrangements grant customers the right to access and use the software products whichare to be installed with the relevant hardware for connectivity at the outset of an arrangement, and to be entitled to both technicalsupport and software upgrades and enhancements during the term of the agreement. The term of the subscription period is generally 12months, with the automatic renewal of another one year, and the subscription license service is billed monthly, quarterly or annually.Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided.

F-12
 

 

  Software development costs

 

Inaccordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Companyexpenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs arecapitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external usein the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services usingthe products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgradesto internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform.The Company also expenses website costs as incurred.

Under paragraph740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the taxposition will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefitsrecognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greaterthan fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition,classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Companyhad no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

 

Theestimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanyingbalance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferredtax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

F-13
 

 

TheCompany and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgmentis required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinarycourse of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax auditissues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different fromthe carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

 

  Uncertain tax positions

 

TheCompany did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  Comprehensive income

 

ASC220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its componentsand accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulatedother comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consistsof changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computationof income tax expense or benefit.

 

  Leases

 

TheCompany adopted ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leasesare included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROUassets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligationto make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based onthe present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Companygenerally use the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar termof the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise thatoption. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Inaccordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building,etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.).Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated basedon the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

Asof December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded the right of use asset of $79,109 and $53,311 respectively.

 

  Related parties

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuantto section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equitysecurities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15,to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharingtrusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company;f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policiesof the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; andg) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownershipinterest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting;parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Theconsolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements,expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminatedin the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include:a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amountsor nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemednecessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactionsfor each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the termsfrom that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presentedand, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

  Commitments and contingencies

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the datethe financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more futureevents occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exerciseof judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claimsthat may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as wellas the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

Ifthe assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liabilitycan be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessmentindicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would bedisclosed.

 

Losscontingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will notmaterially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

  Fair value of financial instruments

 

TheCompany follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financialinstruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishesa framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB AccountingStandards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair valueinto three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy definedby paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financialassets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similartechniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities andthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more thanone level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement ofthe instrument.

 

F-16
 

 

Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits,prepayments and other receivables, contract liabilities, accrued liabilities and other payables, amounts due to related parties and operatinglease liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

  Cost of goods sold

 

Costof goods sold consists of the cost of hardware, software and payroll, which are directly attributable to the sales of products.

 

  Share-based compensation

 

TheCompany follows ASC 718, Compensation —Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognitionof compensation expense for all share-based payment awards, including restricted stock units, based on the date of grant at the fairvalue of the share-based payments. The Company determines the fair value of the share-based payments as either the fair value of theconsideration received or the fair value of the awards issued, whichever

ismore readily determinable. Restricted stock units are valued using the fair value of the Company’s common shares on the date ofgrant. The Company records compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period.

 

  Business combinations

 

TheCompany follows ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation. ASC 805 requires mostidentifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “fairvalue.” The statement applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contractalone. Under ASC 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Accounting for goodwill requiressignificant management estimates and judgment. Management performs periodic reviews of the carrying value of goodwill to determine whetherevents and circumstances indicate that an impairment in value may have occurred. A variety of factors could cause the carrying valueof goodwill to become impaired. A write-down of the carrying value of goodwill could result in a non-cash charge, which could have anadverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

 

  Earnings per share

 

Basicper share amounts are calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding during the year, excluding unvested restricted stock units.The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under thetreasury stock method, only “in the money” dilutive instruments impact the diluted calculations in computing diluted earningsper share. Diluted calculations reflect the weighted average incremental common shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutiveoptions assuming the proceeds would be used to repurchase shares at average market prices for the period.

 

Asof December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of below:

 

    As of December 31,
    2020   2019
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (a)     8,000       8,000  
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock     764,400       666,300  
Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock     48,000       36,000  
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock     108,600       108,600  
Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock     865,500       —   
Warrants granted     —        21,000  
Warrants granted with Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock     614,100       —   
Total:     2,408,600       839,900  

 

  (a) The Series A the conversion formula is aggregate Stated Value divided by IPO price (Stated Value for each Series A preferred share is $1,000). There are 8,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding (10,000 shares are designated Series A).  The conversion formula would be $8 million (the aggregate stated value) divided by IPO price.

  Emerging Growth Company

 

Weare an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we arenot required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards that have different effective dates for public andprivate companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, (ii) provide an auditor’s attestation reporton management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) requiringmandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additionalinformation about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB afterApril 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise. However, we have elected to “opt out” of the extended transition perioddiscussed in (i) and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption ofsuch standards are required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of suchextended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

 

  Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standardsetting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that theimpact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results ofoperations upon adoption.

 

AccountingStandards Adopted

 

InAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifiescertain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginningafter December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have an any impact on the financial statements.

 

InNovember 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interactionbetween ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participantsin a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludesan entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customerfor that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effectivefor interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have anany impact on the financial statements.

AccountingStandards Issued, Not Adopted

 

InJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets.ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities.ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effectadjustment to retained earnings as of the

beginningof the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standardon its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

InDecember 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”),which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesin an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifiesaspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactionsthat result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscalyears beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be madeprospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

InMarch 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”: The amendments in this updateare to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to a variety of ASC topics. The changes in ASU 2020-03 are not expectedto have a significant effect on current accounting practices. The ASU improves various financial instrument topics in the Codificationto increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process by making the Codification easier to understandand easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companiesfor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact theadoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

InAugust 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contractsin Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments andcontracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurementof convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective forfiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, butno earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currentlyevaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE—4 BUSINESSCOMBINATION

 

OnNovember 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Hottab Pte Limited (the “Acquisition”).The total consideration of the acquisition is 156 shares of series C convertible preferred stock, approximately $900,000, cash consideration$150,000 and additional series C convertible preferred stock approximately $558,000 . The Company accounted for the transaction as anacquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).

 

Purchase price allocation:   
Fair value of stock at closing  $900,000 
Cash paid   75,000 
Deferred payments- Cash   71,422 
Deferred payment- shares   531,380 
Less cash received   (15,337)
Purchase price  $1,562,465 

 

F-19
 

 

Thetransaction was accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total considerationover the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values.

 

Thedeferred payments of $633,000 were discounted using the yield on a CCC rated corporate debt for 3-month, 6-month and 9-month maturities,respectively. The implied discount is approximately $30,198, which will be amortized over the term on the payments.

 

Thepurchase price allocation resulted in $2,766,000 of goodwill, as below:

 

Acquired assets:   
Trade receivables  $6,906 
Other receivables   1,857 
    8,763 
Less: Assumed liabilities     
Trade payables   39,147 
Accrued liabilities and other payable   68,458 
Amounts due to related parties   1,080,904 
Deferred revenue   23,789 
    1,212,298 
Fair value of net liabilities assumed   (1,203,535)
Goodwill recorded   2,766,000 
Cash consideration allocated  $1,562,465 

 

Underthe acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets

acquiredand liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on keyassumptions of the Acquisition, and historical and current market data. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based onthe best information available and is pending, amongst other things: (i) the finalization of the valuation of the fair values and usefullives of tangible assets acquired; (ii) the finalization of the valuations and useful lives for the intangible assets acquired; (iii)finalization of the valuation of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and (iv) finalization of the fair value of non-cash consideration.

 

TheAcquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Companyhas allocated the purchase price consideration based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumedon the acquisition date. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumedand intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from management estimation.Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrativeexpense.

 

Thegoodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019, becausethere were continuous operating losses and negative cash flows incurred subsequently. Under ASC 350-20-50, the Company recognized thegoodwill impairment loss by comparing the actual operating results of Hottab to the profit forecast and a negative performance is resulted.

 

F-20
 

 

Duringthe measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or toconclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or therecould be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtainedabout facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of theseassets or liabilities as of that date. No additional assets or liabilities were recognized during the measurement period, or the changesto the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized.

 

Thefollowing unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisitions had been completed on January1, 2018.

NOTE—11 LEASES

 

Weadopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of our fiscal 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Wedetermine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys theright to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Controlof an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefitfrom the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a singlelease component as we have elected the practical expedient. Some of our operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarilytaxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leasesand some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have electedthe practical expedient.

 

Operatingleases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated BalanceSheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values ofits lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, our incremental borrowingrate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments.Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We had no financing leases as of December 31, 2020.

 

TheCompany adopts a 5.44% as weighted average incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weightedaverage remaining life of the lease was 2.24 year.

 

TheCompany excludes short-term leases (those with lease terms of less than one year at inception) from the measurement of lease liabilitiesor right-of-use assets. The following tables summarize the lease expense for the year ended December 31:

 

   2020  2019

SpunOut

 

OnDecember 31, 2019, the Company recently spun out Food Society Group Limited (Food Business), which aims to develop and commercializechain of restaurants in Vietnam.

 

Inconnection with the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company considered the guidance describedin the SEC’s codified Staff Accounting Bulletins, Topic 5, Section Z, paragraph 7, “Accounting for the Spin-off of a subsidiary”. 

 

TheCompany’s initial registration of its securities under the 1933 Securities Act and the spin off transaction of the Food SocietyGroup Limited occurred prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement. 

 

TheCompany considered the following facts and circumstances in concluding omitting the Food Society Group Limited results of operationsand financial position in the consolidated financial statements presented in the registration statement:

 

• The Company’s operations as a developer of an e-commerce platform and the Food Society Group Limited operations as a two(2) retailrestaurants are in dissimilar business that would ordinarily be distinguished as reportable segments as defined by FASB ASC 280-10-50-10.

 

• The Company and the subsidiary have been managed and financed historically as if autonomous  

 

• The Company and the subsidiary have no common facilities or costs

 

• The Company and the subsidiary are operated and financed autonomously after the  spinoff, and

 

• There are no material financial commitments , guarantees or contingent liabilities to each other after the spin off

 

Accordingly,the Company has elected to characterize the spin-off of the Food Society Group Limited as a change in the Company’s reporting andpresent its historical financial statements as if the Company never had an investment in the subsidiary.

 

Thisspun off our subsidiary Food Society Group Limited which owns 100% of Vietnam Eats (Hong Kong) Limited which owns 100% of Loft RestaurantService Trading Company Limited that operates 2 restaurants in Vietnam.

 

ThomasO’Connor, our former Chief Marketing Officer, serves as the legal representative of Loft Restaurant Service Trading Company Limited.Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, Dennis Nguyen., is the Chairman of Food Society Group Limited’sboard of directors.

 

Thetwo restaurants were making losses for the financial year of 2019. The Company wanted to focus on building our loyalty technology platform.On December 20, 2019’s Board of Directors meeting the CFO presented the case for the spun off. The board voted on the February18, 2020 to spin out the Food Society Group Limited via a proportionate distribution of shareholding percentage to the existing shareholdersas at December 31, 2019.

 

NOTE-2LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Theaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, whichcontemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

TheCompany suffered from an accumulated deficit of 28,116,309 at September 30, 2021. The Company incurred continuous net loss of $15,528,998during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financialsupport from its shareholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However,there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

Theregistration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on November 8, 2021. On November 8, 2021, theCompany entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, related to the offering of 2,888,889 shares of the Company’scommon stock (the “Firm Share”), at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement,the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional 236,111 shares of common stock(the “Option Shares”) to cover over-allotments. The Company has raised funding from Initial Public Offering and Option sharesof $26,000,001 and 2,124,999. In addition, the Company has raised $8,019,461, net of issuance cost in the form of equity subsequent toissuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements respectively in the form of equity subsequentto issuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements and based upon the capital raised, theCompany believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its working capital requirements for the next 12 months. As a result the Companyhas mitigated any doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern

 

Therecent outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe andis impacting worldwide economic activity.. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughoutVietnam, Singapore and Southeast Asia. National, regional and local governments took a variety of actions to contain the spread of COVID-19,including office and store closures, quarantining suspected COVID-19 patients, and capacity limitations. These developments have significantlyimpacted the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company included in this reporting. The impact includedthe difficulties of working remotely from home including slow Internet connection, the inability of our accounting and financial officersto collaborate as effectively as they would otherwise have in an office environment and issues arising from mandatory state quarantines.

 

Whileit is not possible at this time to estimate with sufficient certainty the impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s business,the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by federal, state, local and foreign governments could disrupt the operationof the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures have also had and may continue to have an adverse impacton global and domestic economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition,including on its potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, the Company has taken temporaryprecautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to its employees, including temporarily requiring employees towork remotely, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect the Company’sbusiness. These measures are continuing. The extent to which the

COVID-19outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, includingnew information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

 

NOTE-3SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Theaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policiesas described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

F-46
 

 

•Use of estimates and assumptions

 

Inpreparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from theseestimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and resultsof operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accountsand other receivables, assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, imputed interest on due to related parties, and impairmentof long-term assets, business acquisition allocation of purchase consideration, and deferred tax valuation allowance.

 

•Basis of consolidation

 

Thecondensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-companybalances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, certain amounts in the prior periods’consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

•Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cashand cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutionsand all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cash and cash equivalent was amounted to $5,722,450 and $506,666, respectively.

 

TheCompany currently has bank deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. which does not exceed FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insuranceprovides protection for bank deposits up to $250,000, so there were uninsured balance of $4,895,306 and $208,635 in parent entity asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company has uninsured bank deposits with a financial institutionoutside the U.S. All uninsured bank deposits are held at high quality credit institutions.

 

•Accounts receivable

 

Accountsreceivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthinessand their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past duebalances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Companyspecifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitorthe progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid accordingto payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a courtof law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential forrecovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

 

•Inventories 

 

Inventoriesare stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include hardwareequipment and peripheral costs which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods. The Company provides inventoryallowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. During the nine months ended September30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $0 and $0, respectively. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $0 and $0, respectively.

Plantand equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculatedon the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after takinginto account their estimated residual values:

 

    Expected useful lives  
Computer equipment   3 years  
Office equipment   5 years  

 

Expendituresfor repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciationare removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used isevaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generatedby the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carryingamounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferredtax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

TheCompany and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgmentis required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinarycourse of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax auditissues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different fromthe carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

ForeignExchange Loss (Gain). We recorded a foreign exchange gain of $8,859 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a gainof $51,183 for the same period in 2020. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily unrealized (non-cash) in nature and results fromthe re-measuring of specific transactions and monetary accounts in a currency other than the functional currency. For example, a U.S.Dollar transaction which occurs in Singapore is re-measured at the period-end to Singapore dollar amount if it has not been settled previously.The foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the Singapore Dollar comparedto the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the Singapore dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 0.56%. At September30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.73534 as compared to 0.73118 at September 30, 2020. In addition, a U.S. Dollar transaction which occursin India is re-measured at the period-end to India dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange loss forthe three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the India Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the India dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 0.79%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.013463as compared to 0.013570 at September 30, 2020. A U.S. Dollar transaction which occurs in Vietnam is re-measured at the period-end toVietnamese dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021was due to an increase in the value of the Vietnamese Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021,the Vietnamese dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 2.32%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.000044 as compared to 0.000043at September 30, 2020.

 

•Comprehensive income

 

ASCTopic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its componentsand accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulatedother comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity,consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in thecomputation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

•Leases

 

TheCompany adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leasesare included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidatedbalance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities inthe condensed consolidated balance sheets. 

 

ROUassets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligationto make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based onthe present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Companygenerally use the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar termof the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise thatoption. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

F-53
 

 

Inaccordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building,etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.).Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated basedon the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

Asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded the right of use asset of $529,782 and $79,109 respectively.

 

•Related parties

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuantto section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equitysecurities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15,to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharingtrusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company;f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policiesof the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; andg) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownershipinterest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transactingparties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Thecondensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensationarrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions thatare eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosuresshall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to whichno amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other informationdeemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactionsfor each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the termsfrom that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presentedand, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

•Commitments and contingencies

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the datethe financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more futureevents occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exerciseof judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claimsthat may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as wellas the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

Ifthe assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liabilitycan be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessmentindicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would bedisclosed.

 

Losscontingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will notmaterially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

•Fair value of financial instruments

 

TheCompany follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financialinstruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishesa framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB AccountingStandards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation

techniquesused to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair valuehierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
   
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
   
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financialassets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similartechniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities andthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more thanone level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement ofthe instrument.

 

Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits,prepayments and other receivables, contract liabilities, accrued liabilities and other payables, amounts due to related parties and operatinglease liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

•Cost of goods sold

 

Costof goods sold consists of the cost of hardware, software and payroll, which are directly attributable to the sales of products. The costalso consists of costs of materials which has been sold attributable to the sales of high-end products. Additional costs may includefreight paid to acquire the goods, custom duties, sales or use taxes not recoverable paid on materials used, and any fee for purchase.

 

•Share-based compensation

 

Pursuantto ASU 2018-07, the Company follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurementand recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (employee or non employee), are measured at grant-date fairvalue of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue. Restricted stock units are valued using the market price of theCompany’s common shares on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2021, those shares issued for service compensations were immediatelyvested, and therefore this amount is thus recognized as expense with an offset to preferred or September 30, 2021 and 2020, the stock-basedcompensations are recorded in the General and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations andOther Comprehensive Loss.”

 

F-55
 

 

•Business combinations

 

TheCompany follows ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation. ASC 805 requires most identifiableassets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “fair value.”The statement applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone.Under ASC 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Accounting for goodwill requires significantmanagement estimates and judgment. Management performs periodic reviews of the carrying value of goodwill to determine whether eventsand circumstances indicate that an impairment in value may have occurred. A variety of factors could cause the carrying

valueof goodwill to become impaired. A write-down of the carrying value of goodwill could result in a non-cash charge, which could have anadverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

 

•Earnings per share

 

Basicper share amounts are calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding during the year, excluding unvested restricted stock units.The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under thetreasury stock method, only “in the money” dilutive instruments impact the diluted calculations in computing diluted earningsper share. Diluted calculations reflect the weighted average incremental common shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutiveoptions assuming the proceeds would be used to repurchase shares at average market prices for the period.

 

Asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of below:

For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we arenot required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards that have different effective dates for public andprivate companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, (ii) provide an auditor’s attestation reporton management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) requiringmandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additionalinformation about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB afterApril 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise. However, we have elected to “opt out” of the extended transition perioddiscussed in (i) and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption ofsuch standards are required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of suchextended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

•Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standardsetting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that theimpact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results ofoperations upon adoption. 

 

AccountingStandards Adopted

 

InAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifiescertain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginningafter December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have any impact on the financial statements.

 

InNovember 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interactionbetween ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participantsin a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludesan entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customerfor that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effectivefor interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have anany impact on the financial statements.

 

AccountingStandards Issued, Not Adopted

 

InJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets.ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities.ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effectadjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currentlyevaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial statements.

 

InDecember 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”),which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesin an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifiesaspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactionsthat result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscalyears beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be madeprospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

F-57
 

 

InMarch 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”: The amendments in this updateare to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to a variety of ASC topics. The changes in ASU 2020-03 are not expectedto have a significant effect on current accounting practices. The ASU improves various financial instrument topics in the Codificationto increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process by making the Codification easier to understandand easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companiesfor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact theadoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

InAugust 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contractsin Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments andcontracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurementof convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective forfiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, butno earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currentlyevaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Noother new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impacton our condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

 

NOTE-4BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

OnNovember 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Hottab Pte Limited (the “Acquisition”).The total consideration of the acquisition is 156 shares of series C convertible preferred stock, approximately $900,000, cash consideration$150,000 and additional series C convertible preferred stock approximately $558,000 . The Company accounted for the transaction as anacquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).

 

Purchase price allocation:   
Fair value of stock at closing  $900,000 
Cash paid   75,000 
      
Deferred payments- Cash   71,422 
Deferred payment- shares   531,380 
Less cash received   (15,337)
Purchase price  $1,562,465 

 

Thetransaction was accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total considerationover the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values.

 

Thedeferred payments of $633,000 were discounted using the yield on a CCC rated corporate debt for 3-month, 6-month and 9-month maturities,respectively. The implied discount is approximately $30,198, which will be amortized over the term on the payments.

 

Thepurchase price allocation resulted in $2,766,000 of goodwill, as below:

 

Acquired assets:   
Trade receivables  $6,906 
Other receivables   1,857 
Total acquired assets   8,763 
Less: Assumed liabilities     
Trade payables   39,147 
Accrued liabilities and other payable   68,458 
Amounts due to related parties   1,080,904 
Deferred revenue   23,789 
Total Assumed liabilities   1,212,298 
Fair value of net liabilities assumed   (1,203,535)
Goodwill recorded   2,766,000 
Cash consideration allocated  $1,562,465 

 

F-58
 

 

Underthe acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilitiesassumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of theAcquisition, and historical and current market data. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best informationavailable and is pending, amongst other things: (i) the finalization of the valuation of the fair values and useful lives of tangibleassets acquired; (ii) the finalization of the valuations and useful lives for the intangible assets acquired; (iii) finalization of thevaluation of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and (iv) finalization of the fair value of non-cash consideration.

 

TheAcquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company hasallocated the purchase price consideration based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on theacquisition date. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed andintangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from management estimation.Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrativeexpense.

 

Thegoodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019, becausethere were continuous operating losses and negative cash flows incurred subsequently. Under ASC 350-20-50, the Company recognized thegoodwill impairment loss by comparing the actual operating results of Hottab to the profit forecast and a negative performance is resulted.

 

Duringthe measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or toconclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or therecould be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtainedabout facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of theseassets or liabilities as of that date. No additional assets or liabilities were recognized during the measurement period, or the changesto the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized.

 

OnSeptember 30, 2021, the Company served the notification to a related party that certain terms under call option agreement and side letterwere no longer effective, in case of non-fulfillment with the milestone conditions as set out in the agreements amounts of $75,000 cashconsideration and $558,000 equity incentive. The said amount was written off and accounted as capital transaction and therefore creditedthe additional paid in capital account as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE-11LEASES

 

Weadopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of our fiscal 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Wedetermine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys theright to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Controlof an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefitfrom the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a singlelease component as we have elected the practical expedient. Some of our operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarilytaxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leasesand some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have electedthe practical expedient.

If VND,SGD and INR depreciates against US$, the value of VND, SGD and INR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements willdecline.

Financingarrangement (due to a shareholder)

 

InFebruary 2018, the Company entered into MOU with Connect Investment Pte Ltd (Enter Asia) for capital alliance for approximately 27% ofshareholdings in the Company. Further, in August 2018, the said MOU was modified and shareholding was revised from 27% to 10% in theCompany. However, subsequently in October 2020, it was agreed between both the parties to cease the said MOU with the understanding thatthere is no current and future obligation with either of them i.e. neither EnterAsia to make investment in the Company nor the Companyto issue shares to EnterAsia. Further, the EnterAsia is going to get the shares of the Hottab Holdings Ltd (HHL) for the amount so far

investedin the Company and therefore the amount due to EnterAsia is reclassified into the amount due to shareholder “Hottab Holdings Ltd”.

 

SOSV

 

InJanuary 2019, the HPL entered into stock purchase agreement and accelerator contract for equity (ACE) with SOSV IV LLC (SOSV) wherebythe HPL will issue shares representing 5% of their capital stock for the amounts of $168,000 in three tranche (a) SOSV to pay to theHPL $75,000 for integration of Mobile Only Accelerator (MOX) software development kit, (b) SOSV to pay on behalf of the HPL $48,000 uponMOX successful application and setting up subsidiary, and (c) SOSV to pay on behalf of the HPL $45,000 for setting program for services.The Company received first tranche of $75,000 only and thereafter no other two tranche received by the HPL, however, the outcome of thedeal did not results success and so later the HPL have not issued any shares to the SOSV, therefore the arrangement amount of $75,000accounted as loan from SOSV. On February 2, 2021, the Company sent the legal letter to the SOSV intimating that the Company acquiredHPL by issuing 117,000 preferred stock series C to Hottab Holding Limited for the 100% acquisition of HPL.

This provision was inserted into the employmentagreement to compensate Mr. Nguyen in stock, at his option, and was to remain operable only until the Company has sufficient cashto pay him his salary in cash. From July 2021 until now, the Company’s cash balance has been at least $4 million and the Companyhas paid Mr. Nguyen his salary in full in every month from July 2021 until now. As a result of these facts, the conversion feature inMr. Nguyen’s contract became inoperable as of July 1, 2021 and Mr. Nguyen no longer has the option to convert unpaid salary intothe Company’s shares. On October 25, 2021, the Company has also amended Mr. Nguyen’s contract to delete the conversion featureto make clear the conversion feature will not be operable in the future. Therefore, the Company will not accrue any expense. Mr. Nguyenis also entitled to participate in all of the other benefits of the Company which are generally available to office employees and otheremployees of the Company. Mr. Nguyen is not entitled to any severance pay.

Litigation

 

Fromtime to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business.However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to timethat may harm the Company’s business. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings that will have, individually or inthe aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Twocases are employment actions filed by former employees who seek compensation alleged to be due pursuant to agreements with the Company. Both of the employees are represented by the same counsel and filed their cases in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Countyof New York, in December 2019.

 

Inone of those actions, a former employee claims entitlement to compensation and a bonus totaling $566,000 and 39,000-58,500 shares ofCompany common stock, together with costs.  The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims in the proceedingfor $1,500,000 to $4,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with interest and costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’sbreach of contract, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty.  The former employee hasresponded to the Company’s counterclaims and this action is in the discovery phase of the litigation.

 

Inthe other employment action, another former employee claims entitlement to salary payments and expense reimbursement in the amount of$122,042.60, plus liquidated damages, together with costs.  This former employee also claims entitlement to 516,300 to 760,800 sharesof the Company’s common stock.  In addition, this action also includes claims by a plaintiff-entity alleging entitlement to$8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock.  The Company responded to the complaint and also assertedcounterclaims against the former employee in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with costs,arising from, inter alia, the former employee’s breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference and fraud. The former employee has responded to the Company’s counterclaims and this action is still in the discovery phase of litigation.

 

Thethird case also involves one of those former employees; therein, a Company affiliate filed suit in February 2020 seeking enforcement,by way of specific performance, of an agreement which entitles the affiliate to purchase all of the 99 percent of the shares of the plaintiff-entitywhich alleges entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in one of the employment actions describedabove.  The former employee has responded to the Company’s complaint in this action with a motion to dismiss, which was laterwithdrawn by same, and then by way of an answer without counterclaims.  The judge assigned to this action has announced his retirementand the case has not yet been reassigned.

 

TheCompany was in an AAA arbitration defending allegations of breach of an agreement. The Demand for Arbitration therein, dated August 25,2020, asserted that the Petitioner, an LLC, had an agreement with the Company and its CEO granting the Petitioner the right to requirethe Company to redeem certain common stock in the Company for a cash payment.

 

TheDemand alleged that the Petitioner submitted a Redemption Notice, as required under the alleged agreement, obligating the Company toredeem the shares. The Demand alleged that the failure of the Company to redeem the

sharesand pay Petitioner further obligated the Company to provide additional common stock to the Petitioner. The amount alleged to be due tothe Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be $590,461.94 and growing daily while the number of additional common stock shares allegedto be due to Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be 708,542,582 and growing, daily.

 

Inorder to avoid an adverse award, the Company agreed to settle the matter for the sum of $550,000. No additional shares were includedin the settlement agreement. The settlement sum was required to be paid in two tranches, with $250,000 to have been paid on or beforeMay 28, 2021 and the remaining $300,000 to be paid on or before June 30, 2021. The Company made the required settlement payments andthe matter is now considered closed.

 

F-78
 

 

Onor about March 5, 2021, SOSV IV LLC (“SOSV”) sent a demand letter to the Company in regard to its investment in Hottab Pte.Ltd. (“Hottab”).

 

Inthis letter, and the subsequently filed lawsuits, SOSV alleges that it entered into an investment arrangement with Hottab in which SOSVwas to receive five percent (5%) of the common stock of Hottab and entered into an Accelerator Contract for Equity (the “ACE”)pursuant to which it alleges to have invested a sum of $168,000 with Hottab. These events are alleged to have taken place prior to theCompany’s acquisition of Hottab. SOSV alleges that the Company subsequently acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hottab, whichit alleges triggered a liquidity event clause under the ACE requiring the Company, by way of its ownership of Hottab, to pay SOSV twiceits investment, or $336,000.

 

SOSVfurther alleges that subsequent to a term sheet between the Company and Hottab being executed, the Company entered into an agreementto purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Hottab from Hottab Holdings Limited (“Hottab Holdings”).As SOSV does not have any interest in Hottab Holdings, it did not receive any consideration as allegedly provided under the ACE.

 

Uponthese allegations, SOSV asserts causes of action sounding in fraudulent misrepresentation/concealment, breach of contract, breach ofthe covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quantum meruit and/or unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, oppression of minority shareholder,and breach of fiduciary duties. SOSV seeks damages in the amount of $336,000.00 in addition damages equal to the value of SOSV’salleged equity in Hottab or in the alternative shares of the Company in an amount equal to SOSV’s ownership interest in Hottabat the time of the purchase of Hottab’s shares from Hottab Holdings.

 

Initially,SOSV filed suit in the District Court for New Jersey on June 10, 2021. SOSV voluntarily dismissed its New Jersey lawsuit and on October29, 2021, re-filed the action in the Southern District of New York. The New York lawsuit was also voluntarily dismissed by SOSV. However,SOSV may choose to re-file its lawsuit. 

 

TheCompany denies the accusations of SOSV and intends to vigorously defend this matter if the action is re-filed. As the lawsuit has beenvoluntarily dismissed, there have been no proceedings and we are unable to prognosticate a likelihood of success, or whether SOSV willre-file the action.

 

Asof September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $75,000 and $75,000 outstanding on this account, respectively.

 

Asof September 30, 2021, the Company expects no possible loss from these legal proceedings and no provision is accrued accordingly.

NOTE— 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

HottabPte. Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated as a private company limited by shares on January 17, 2015 in the Republic ofSingapore. The Company through its subsidiaries, mainly sells and distributes the hardware and software of POS application in Vietnam.

TheCompany and its subsidiary are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

 

OnOctober 29, 2019 with the revised provision dated November 11, 2019, the Company was acquired by Society Pass Incorporated (“SPI”),a company incorporated in Nevada, USA, at the consideration of $1,050,000 consisted of 156 Series C preference shares valued at $900,000and the cash consideration of $150,000. The value of the $900,000 Series C preference shares issued was determined based on the statedvalue per share equal to $5,763 of the SPI’s shares at the acquisition date. Also, the SPI shall pay to the Company additionalSeries C preference shares with an aggregate value of $558,000 (the “Equity Incentive”) in the event the Company ableto fulfilled the other terms per their arrangement with in five months from the completion date.

 

NOTE— 2 GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates therealization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

TheCompany has working capital deficit and accumulated deficit of $1,060,308 and $1,552,907 at December 31, 2018. The Company incurred netloss of $914,100 and the net cash used in operating activities of $654,697 during the year ended December 31, 2018. These factors raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuanceof this financial statement, without additional debt or equity financing. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependentupon the continued financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financingfor its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

 

Theseconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classificationof assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE— 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in thisnote and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

  Basis of presentation

 

Theseaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in theUnited States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

  Use of estimates and assumptions

 

Inpreparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operationscould be materially impacted. Significant estimates in years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 include the allowance for doubtful accountson accounts and other receivables, assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, imputed interest on due to related parties, andimpairment of long-term assets.

 

  Basis of consolidation

 

Theconsolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balancesand transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

  Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cashand cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutionsand all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. Therewere no cash equivalents at December 31, 2018 or 2017.

 

  Accounts receivable

 

Accountsreceivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthinessand their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past duebalances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Companyspecifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitorthe progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid accordingto payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a courtof law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential forrecovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of December31, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $571 and $0, respectively.

 

F-91
 

 

  Inventories

 

Inventoriesare stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include hardwareequipment and peripheral costs which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandised goods. The Company provides inventoryallowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, theCompany recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $2,152 and $7,367, respectively. There were no inventories at December 31,2018 or 2017.

 

  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Inaccordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assetssuch as plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparisonof the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assetsare considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assetsexceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

 

  Revenue recognition

 

TheCompany adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU2014-09”). Under ASU 2014-09, the Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenueto be recognized as it fulfill its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

identify the contract with a customer;
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
determine the transaction price;
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

HardwareProduct Revenues — the Company generally is involved with the sale of on-premise appliances and end-point devices. The single performanceobligation is to transfer the hardware product (which is to be installed with its licensed software integral to the functionality ofthe hardware product). The entire transaction price is allocated to the hardware product and is generally recognized as revenue at thetime of delivery because the customer obtains control of the product at that point in time. It is concluded that control generally transfersat that point in time because the customer has title to the hardware, physical possession, and a present obligation to pay for the hardware.Payments for hardware contracts are generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment of the hardware product.

 

TheCompany records revenues from the sales of third-party products on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 606-10 Revenue Recognition– Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we control the specified good before it is transferred to the end customer andhave the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfillment, retaining the risk for collection,and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specifiedin ASC 606-10 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.

 

F-92
 

 

SoftwareLicense Revenues — The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through amonthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customerfor such services. The Company’s software sale arrangements grant customers the right to access and use the software products whichare to be installed with the relevant hardware for connectivity at the outset of an arrangement, and to be entitled to both technicalsupport and software upgrades and enhancements during the term of the agreement. The term of the subscription period is generally 12months, with the automatic renewal of another one year, and the subscription license service is billed monthly, quarterly or annually.Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided. For clients who are billed on an annual basis, deferred revenue isrecorded and amortized over the life of the contract. Payments are generally due 30 to 90 days after delivery of the software licenses.

 

TheCompany records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majorityof the hardware products at the rate of 10% on the invoiced value of sales.

 

Contractassets

 

Inaccordance with ASC 606-10-45-3, contract asset is when the Company’s right to payment for goods and services already transferredto a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Company willrecognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment. 

 

Therewere no contract assets at December 31, 2018 or 2017.

 

Contractliabilities

 

Inaccordance with ASC 606-10-45-2, a contract liability is Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer whenthe customer prepays consideration or when the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services that the Companywill yet provide whichever happens earlier.

 

Contractliabilities represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized, primarily from the billingof annual subscription agreements. The value of contract liabilities will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognitionof revenue. The Company’s contract liabilities balance was $21,595 and $25,466 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Contractcosts

 

UnderASC-606, the Company applies the following three steps in order to evaluate the costs to be capitalized as it fulfill following threecriteria:

 

  Incremental costs directly related to a specific contract;

 

  Costs that generate or enhance resources of the company that will be used to satisfy performance of the terms of the contract; and

 

  Costs that are expected to be recovered from the customer.

 

Nocontract costs are capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

F-93
 

 

  Software development costs

 

Inaccordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Companyexpenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs arecapitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external usein the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services usingthe products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgradesto internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform.The Company also expenses website costs as incurred.

 

Researchand development expenditures in the development of its own software are charged to operations as incurred. Based on the software developmentprocess, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model, which also requires certification and extensivetesting. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for generalrelease are immaterial. The software development costs was $241,997 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Under paragraph740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the taxposition will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefitsrecognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greaterthan fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition,classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Companyhad no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

Theestimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanyingbalance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferredtax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

TheCompany and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgmentis required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinarycourse of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax auditissues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different fromthe carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

 

  Uncertain tax positions

 

TheCompany did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

  Foreign currencies translation and transactions

 

Thereporting currency of the Company (Singapore entity) is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financialstatements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary is operating in the Republic of Vietnam and maintainsits books and record in its local currency, Vietnam Dong (“VND”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currencyof the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities ofits subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translationof Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Shareholders’ equity is translated using thehistorical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting fromtranslation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive incomewithin the statements of changes in shareholder’s equity.

 

Translationof amounts from VND into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

   December 31, 2018  December 31, 2017
Year-end VND$:US$ exchange rate  $0.000043   $0.000044 
Annual average VND$:US$ exchange rate  $0.000043   $0.000044 

 

Translationgains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currencyare translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

  Comprehensive income

 

ASCTopic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its componentsand accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulatedother comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consistsof changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computationof income tax expense or benefit.

 

  Leases

 

TheCompany adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effectadjustment and utilizing the effective date of January 1, 2017 as its date of initial application.

 

TheCompany determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, othercurrent liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. 

 

ROUassets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make leasepayments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the presentvalue of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generallyuse the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the leasepayments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Thelease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leaseexpense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Inaccordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building,etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.).Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated basedon the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

Asof December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded the right of use asset of $17,123 and $34,275, respectively.

 

  Related parties

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuantto section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equitysecurities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15,to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharingtrusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company;f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policiesof the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; andg) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownershipinterest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transactingparties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

F-96
 

 

Theconsolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements,expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminatedin the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include:a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amountsor nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemednecessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactionsfor each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the termsfrom that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presentedand, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

  Commitments and contingencies

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the datethe financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more futureevents occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exerciseof judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claimsthat may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as wellas the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

Ifthe assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liabilitycan be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessmentindicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably

possible,or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses,if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Losscontingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will notmaterially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

  Fair value of financial instruments

 

TheCompany follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financialinstruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishesa framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB AccountingStandards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair valueinto three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy definedby paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

F-97
 

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financialassets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similartechniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities andthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more thanone level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement ofthe instrument.

 

Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits,prepayments and other receivables, contract liabilities, accrued liabilities and other payables, amounts due to related parties and operatinglease liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

  Cost of goods sold

 

Costof goods sold consists of the cost of hardware, software and payroll, which are directly attributable to the sales of products.

 

Costof sales consisted of the following:

 

   Years ended December 31,
   2018  2017
Hardware cost  $16,889   $29,695 
Software cost   53,300    21,330 
Payroll cost   161,331    174,925

  Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standardsetting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that theimpact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results ofoperations upon adoption.

AccountingStandards Adopted

 

InFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) in order to increase transparency and comparabilityamong organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operatingleases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for futurelease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet formost lease arrangements. The new standard also changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The new standard includesa short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, as part of which a lessee can make an accounting policy electionnot to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will continue to differentiate between finance leases (previouslyreferred to as capital leases) and operating leases using classification criteria that are substantially similar to the previous guidancein ASC 840.

 

ASU2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoptionis permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which provides a new transition optionin which an entity initially applies ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period ofadoption. Prior period comparative balances will not be adjusted. The Company used the new transition option and was also utilizing thepackage of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases,(2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also used the short-termlease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, the Company used the practical expedient that allowed eachseparate lease component of a contract and the associated non-lease components to be treated as a single lease component. The exerciseof lease renewal options is at our discretion and the renewal to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s Right-Of-Useassets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company will evaluate the renewal options and when theyare reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term. As of the January 1, 2017, effectivedate the Company identified one operating lease arrangement in which it is a lessee.

 

Incalculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company applied and determined the appropriate discount rate based on the remaininglease terms at the date of adoption. As there is one lease agreements, the Company did not have insight into the relevant informationthat would be required to arrive at the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, the Company utilized its outstanding borrowings as a benchmarkto determine the incremental borrowing rate for its leases. The benchmark rate was adjusted to arrive at an appropriate discount ratefor each lease.

 

InJune 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”) to includeshare-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This amendment applies to all share-based paymenttransactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-basedpayment awards. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

F-99
 

 

AccountingStandards Issued, Not Adopted

 

InJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets.ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities.ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effectadjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currentlyevaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial statements.

 

InAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifiescertain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginningafter December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.

 

InNovember 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interactionbetween ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participantsin a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludesan entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customerfor that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effectivefor interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on thefinancial statements.

 

InDecember 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”),which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxesin an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifiesaspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactionsthat result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscalyears beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be madeprospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a materialimpact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(c) Creditrisk

 

Financialinstruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentrationof credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collectionterms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtfulaccounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(d) Exchangerate risk

 

Thereporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in VND and a significant portionof the assets and liabilities are denominated in VND. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues andresults of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and VND. If VND depreciates against US$, the valueof VND revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financialinstruments that expose to substantial market risk.

Duringthe year 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing coronavirus outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout Vietnam, Singapore and Southeast Asia. National, regionaland local governments took a variety of actions to contain the spread of COVID-19, including office and store closures, quarantiningsuspected COVID-19 patients, and capacity limitations. These developments have significantly impacted our results of operations, financialcondition and cash flows. The impact included the difficulties of working remotely from home including slow Internet connection, theinability of our accounting and financial officers to collaborate as effectively as they would otherwise have in an office environmentand issues arising from mandatory state quarantines.

 

Whileit is not possible at this time to estimate with sufficient certainty the impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s business,the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by federal, state, local and foreign governments could disrupt the operationof the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures have also had and may continue to have an adverse impacton global and domestic economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition,including on its potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, the Company has taken temporaryprecautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to its employees, including temporarily requiring employees towork remotely, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect the Company’sbusiness. These measures are continuing. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend onfuture developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severityof the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid accordingto payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a courtof law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential forrecovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $571, respectively.

  Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Inaccordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assetssuch as plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparisonof the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assetsare considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assetsexceed the fair value of the assets. During the period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of$0 and $12,626, respectively.

 

  Revenue recognition

 

TheCompany adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU2014-09”). Under ASU 2014-09, the Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenueto be recognized as it fulfils its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

identify the contract with a customer;
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
determine the transaction price;
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

HardwareProduct Revenues — the Company generally is involved with the sale of on-premise appliances and end-point devices. The single performanceobligation is to transfer the hardware product (which is to be installed with its licensed software integral to the functionality ofthe hardware product). The entire transaction price is allocated to the hardware product and is generally recognized as revenue at thetime of delivery because the customer obtains control of the product at that point in time. It is concluded that control generally transfersat that point in time because the customer has title to the hardware, physical possession, and a present obligation to pay for the hardware.Payments for hardware contracts are generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment of the hardware product.

 

F-117
 

 

TheCompany records revenues from the sales of third-party products on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 606-10 Revenue Recognition– Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we control the specified good before it is transferred to the end customer andhave the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfillment, retaining the risk for collection,and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specifiedin ASC 606-10 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.

 

SoftwareLicense Revenues — The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through amonthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customerfor such services. The Company’s license arrangements grant customers the right to access and use the licensed software productswhich are to be installed with the relevant hardware for connectivity at the outset of an arrangement, and to be entitled to both technicalsupport and software upgrades and enhancements during the term of the agreement. The term of the subscription period is generally 12months, with the automatic renewal of another one year, and the subscription license service is billed monthly, quarterly or annually.Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided. For clients who are billed on an annual basis, deferred revenue isrecorded and amortized over the life of the contract. Payments are generally due 30 to 90 days after delivery of the software licenses.

 

TheCompany records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majorityof the hardware products at the rate of 10% on the invoiced value of sales.

 

Contractassets

 

Inaccordance with ASC 606-10-45-3, contract asset is when the Company’s right to payment for goods and services already transferredto a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Company willrecognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment. 

 

Therewere no contract assets at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

 

Contractliabilities

 

Inaccordance with ASC 606-10-45-2, a contract liability is Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer whenthe customer prepays consideration or when the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services that the Companywill yet provide whichever happens earlier.

 

Contractliabilities represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized, primarily from the billingof annual subscription agreements. The value of contract liabilities will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognitionof revenue. The Company’s contract liability balance was $27,702 and $21,595 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

F-118
 

 

Contractcosts

 

UnderASC-606, the Company applies the following three steps in order to evaluate the costs to be capitalized as it fulfills following threecriteria:

 

Incremental costs directly related to a specific contract;  
Costs that generate or enhance resources of the company that will be used to satisfy performance of the terms of the contract; and
Costs that are expected to be recovered from the customer.  

 

Nocontract costs are capitalized for the period ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

  Software development costs

 

Inaccordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Companyexpenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs arecapitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external usein the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services usingthe products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgradesto internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform.The Company also expenses website costs as incurred.

 

Researchand development expenditures in the development of its own software are charged to operations as incurred. Based on the software developmentprocess, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model, which also requires certification and extensivetesting. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for generalrelease are immaterial. The software development costs were $38,980 and $123,506 for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

  Product warranties

 

TheCompany’s provision for estimated future warranty costs is based upon historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. Basedupon historical sales trends and warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers, the Company has concluded that no warranty liabilityis required as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. To date, product allowance and returns have been minimal and, based on itsexperience, the Company believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal.

 

  Shipping and handling costs

 

Noshipping and handling costs are associated with the distribution of the products to the customers which are borne by the Company’ssuppliers or distributors.

 

  Sales and marketing

  Income tax

 

TheCompany adopted the ASC 740 Income Tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether taxbenefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the taxposition will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefitsrecognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greaterthan fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition,classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Companyhad no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

 

Theestimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanyingbalance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferredtax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

TheCompany and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significantjudgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during theordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipatedtax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is differentfrom the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determinationis made.

 

  Uncertain tax positions

 

TheCompany did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

  Foreign currencies translation

 

Thereporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressedin US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries is operating in the Republic of Vietnam and maintains its books and record in itslocal currency, Vietnam Dong (“VND”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environmentin which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functionalcurrency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, usingthe exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Shareholders’ equity is translated using the historical rates. Revenues and expensesare translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statementsof foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changesin shareholder’s equity.

 

Translationof amounts from VND into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    September 30, 2019   September 30, 2018
Period-end VND$:US$ exchange rate   $ 0.000043     $ 0.000043  
Period average VND$:US$ exchange rate   $ 0.000043     $ 0.000044  

 

Translationgains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currencyare translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

F-120
 

 

  Comprehensive income

 

ASCTopic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its componentsand accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulatedother comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consistsof changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computationof income tax expense or benefit.

 

  Leases

 

TheCompany adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effectadjustment and utilizing the effective date of January 1, 2017 as its date of initial application.

 

TheCompany determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, othercurrent liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. 

 

ROUassets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make leasepayments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the presentvalue of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generallyuse the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the leasepayments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Thelease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leaseexpense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Inaccordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building,etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.).Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated basedon the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

Asof September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded the right of use asset of $4,353 and $17,123, respectively. 

 

  Related parties

However, disclosure of transactions thatare eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosuresshall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to whichno amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other informationdeemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactionsfor each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the termsfrom that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presentedand, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

  Commitments and contingencies

 

TheCompany follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the datethe financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more futureevents occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exerciseof judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claimsthat may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as wellas the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

Ifthe assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liabilitycan be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Ifthe assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable butcannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable andmaterial, would be disclosed.

 

Losscontingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will notmaterially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

F-122
 

 

  Fair value of financial instruments

 

TheCompany follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financialinstruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”)to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishesa framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB AccountingStandards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair valueinto three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy definedby paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financialassets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similartechniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

Thefair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities andthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more thanone level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement ofthe instrument.

 

Thecarrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits,prepayment and other receivables, amount due from a director and operating lease right-of-use assets, approximate their fair values becauseof the short maturity of these instruments.

Financialinstruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.

(d) Exchangerate risk

 

Thereporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in VND and a significant portionof the assets and liabilities are denominated in VND.

Duringthe year 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing coronavirus outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout Vietnam, Singapore and Southeast Asia. National, regionaland local governments took a variety of actions to contain the spread of COVID-19, including office and store closures, quarantiningsuspected COVID-19 patients, and capacity limitations. These developments have significantly impacted our results of operations, financialcondition and cash flows. The Company’s main business are restaurant’s business applications which includes POS systems.The Company greatly impacted as many of them stopped operation from late March to June 2020 before slowly restarting the business towardsthe middle of the year. The business for the second half of 2020 was slow. The impact included the difficulties of working remotely fromhome including slow Internet connection, the inability of our accounting and financial officers to collaborate as effectively as theywould otherwise have in an office environment and issues arising from mandatory state quarantines.

 

Whileit is not possible at this time to estimate with sufficient certainty the impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s business,the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by federal, state, local and foreign governments could disrupt the operationof the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures have also had and may continue to have an adverse impacton global and domestic economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition,including on its potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, the Company has taken temporaryprecautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to its employees, including temporarily requiring employees towork remotely, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect the Company’sbusiness. These measures are continuing. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend onfuture developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severityof the virus and the actions to contain its impact.
