At its core, the ATP Zeta Super Health Program is focused upon biological energy, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), at the cellular level. The stimulation of ATP production at the cellular level can increase the metabolism and service to promote and maintain normal and healthy functioning of the body’s systems. As a strong advocator of “beauty from within”, our program shall emphasize nutrient absorption through the membrane ion channel to provide complete and balanced nutrients to improve cell health. Thus, ATP Zeta Super Health Program provides ionized and high zeta potential (high bioavailability) nutrients to enhance the absorption at the cellular level.
The ATP Zeta Super Health Program consists of eight products. None of these products are owned or produced by Agape ATP Corporation. In the event that any of these products are no longer produced, or are otherwise unavailable, we may have to devote significant effort to identifying and obtaining comparable replacement products. The eight products that comprise the ATP Zeta Super Health Program are ATP1s Survivor Select, ATP2 Energized Mineral Concentrate, ATP3 Ionized Cal-Mag, ATP4 Omega Blend, ATP5 BetaMaxx, AGN-Vege Fruit Fiber, AGP1-Iron and YFA-Young Formula.
At present, our products are mainly sold in Malaysia, and due to the contents and combination of the main ingredients in the products they are categorized as health food rather than medicines or drugs. As such, all products require authorization from the Food and Quality Division of Ministry of Health according to the Food Act of 1983 and Food Regulation 1985 in order to be sold in the country. All of the products in the ATP Zeta Super Health Program have obtained the appropriate authorizations.
As part of a continuous effort to increase market share of the health and wellness industry that is growing at an exponential rate, we will also evaluate adding additional products to the ATP Zeta Super Health Program; and considering the potential of the synergies between the health and beauty sectors, we will further involve ourselves in the topical approach of skin and hair regime. Other than organic growth, the Company will also consider mergers and acquisitions where synergistic. As detailed in Note 15, Subsequent Events, to improve its sales channel, the Company is in the process of acquiring a Malaysia incorporated entity whose principal activity is in the trading of health and wellness products.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position, and impairment of investment in non-marketable securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts receivable – related party
Accounts receivable – related party are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, which are due on demand. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, no valuation allowance was recorded.
Prepayments and deposits
Prepayments and deposits are cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases or service providers for future services. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. For any prepayments and deposits determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories, services, or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its prepayments and deposits on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investment in marketable equity securities
Prior to July 1, 2019, marketable securities included in investment in marketable equity securities (non-current) are stated at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate. Other marketable securities (non-current) are stated at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate and investments other than marketable equity securities in other investments (non-current) are stated at cost less any significant decline in fair value assessed to be other than temporary. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are based on the average cost of all the units of a particular security held at the time of sale.
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Investments in marketable equity securities (non-current) are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the caption of “unrealized holding losses on marketable securities” in each reporting period.
Investment in non-marketable equity securities
Prior to July 1, 2019, investments in non-marketable equity securities (non-current) are stated at cost less any significant decline in fair value assessed to be other than temporary. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are based on the average cost of all the units of a particular security held at the time of sale.
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Due to the Company’s non-marketable equity securities (non-current) does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59, the Company has selected to record its investments in non-marketable equity securities (non-current) at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issue.
At each reporting period, the Company will make a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. The qualitative assessment indicators include, but are not limited to: (1) A significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee; (ii) A significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee; (iii) A significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates; (iv) A bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment; and (v) Factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. If the qualitative assessment indicators indicated that the non-marketable equity securities (non-current) is deemed to be impaired, the Company would recognize the impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying amount.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue recognition
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2019. This did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize - revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of health and wellness products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of substantially collection.
Prior to July 1, 2019, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of goods when the following four revenue criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from supplies of health and wellness products is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred and there are no continuing obligations to the customer. Title and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to and accepted by the customer when the products are collected by the customer at the Company’s office. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, returns, allowances, and other adjustments that are based upon management’s best estimates and historical experience and are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded.
The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption on July 1, 2019, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax.
The Company conducts much of its businesses activities in Hong Kong and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign currencies translation and transaction
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. The Company’s subsidiary in Labuan maintains its books and record in United States Dollars (“US$”) albeit its functional currency being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”). The Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong maintains its books and record in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), similar to its functional currency.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of stockholders’ equity. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Translation of foreign currencies into US$1 have been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair value of financial instruments
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.
Operating leases
A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating lease. All leases of the Company are currently classified as operating leases. The Company records the total expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company had on July 1, 2019, adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to 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 expired or existing leases. The Company adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. There is no impact from the adoption of ASC 842 as of January 1, 2020, as the Company did not have any existing leases with a lease term in excess of twelve months on January 1, 2020.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:
In July 2017, the FASB Issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of the Update change the reclassification analysis of certain equity-lined financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments in Part II of this Update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement. This amendment modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits, with the primary purpose to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by US GAAP. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023 due the Company is qualified as an emerging growth company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These reclassifications have no effect on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company invested in Unreserved Sdn Bhd with the investment amount of $863,592 (MYR3,500,000), which approximated 20% of the equity interest of Unreserved Sdn Bhd and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. On March 10, 2019 Unreserved Sdn Bhd issued additional common stock for working capital.

13. CONCENTRATIONS OF RISKS (Continued)
(b) Major vendors
There were no purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, two vendors accounted for approximately 54% and 46% of the Company’s total purchases, respectively.
Accounts payable as of March 31, 2020 was nil. As of December 31, 2019, one vendor accounted for 100% of the total balance of accounts payable.
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its account receivable is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Historically, the Company did not have any bad debt on its account receivable.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of RM$ and HK$ converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease commitments
In view of the recent economic development in Hong Kong, the Company has decided not to extend the tenancy for the office in Hong Kong when the tenancy expires on April 30, 2020. Accordingly, the Company had on April 23, 2020 served a termination notice to the landlord, The Company’s commitment for minimum lease payments under the operating lease as of March 31, 2020 for the remaining lease period ending May 31, 2020 is $7,862.

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and un-asserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in Malaysia. There is significant uncertainty around the duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the Malaysia economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact to its operations.
On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mr. How Kok Choong, CEO and director of the Company to acquire 9,590,596 ordinary shares, no par value, equivalent to approximately 99.99% of the equity interest in Agape Superior Living Sdn Bhd, an entity incorporated in Malaysia for $1,714,003. The purchase consideration represented the net asset carrying value of the acquiree as of March 31, 2020. The payment, net of the amount due from Mr. How Kok Choong of $656,495 as of March 31, 2020 arising from the purchase of the Company’s non-marketable security, will be satisfied together with the issuance of 162,694 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon completion, the number of shares of common stock of the Company will be increased from 376,275,500 to 376,438,194, equivalent to approximately 0.0432% increase of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company after the issuance of the additional shares, which was valued at $1,057,508 based on the closing price of $6.50 of the Company at March 31, 2020.

Company Overview
Agape ATP Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2016.
Agape ATP Corporation operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Agape ATP Corporation, a Company organized in Labuan, Malaysia.
Agape ATP Corporation, incorporated in Labuan, Malaysia, is an investment holding company with 100% equity interest in Agape ATP International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong.
The Company and its subsidiaries provide health and wellness products and advisory services to the public. The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries is to supply high-quality health and wellness products, including supplement to assist in cell metabolism, detoxification, blood circulation, anti-aging and products designed to improve the overall health system in our body.
Agape ATP Corporation is a company that provides health solution advisory services to our clients. We primarily focus our efforts on attracting customers in Malaysia. Our advisory services center on the “ATP Zeta Health Program”, which is a health program designed to effectively prevent diseases caused by polluted environments, unhealthy dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyles, and promotion of health. The program aims to promote improved health and longevity in our clients through a combination of modern medicine, proper nutrition and advice from skilled nutritionists and/or dieticians.
At its core, the ATP Zeta Super Health Program is focused upon biological energy, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), at the cellular level. The stimulation of ATP production at the cellular level can increase the metabolism and service to promote and maintain normal and healthy functioning of the body’s systems. As a strong advocator of “beauty from within”, our program shall emphasize nutrient absorption through the membrane ion channel to provide complete and balanced nutrients to improve cell health. Thus, ATP Zeta Super Health Program provides ionized and high zeta potential (high bioavailability) nutrients to enhance the absorption at the cellular level.

The ATP Zeta Super Health Program consists of eight products. None of these products are owned or produced by Agape ATP Corporation. In the event that any of these products are no longer produced, or are otherwise unavailable, we may have to devote significant effort to identifying and obtaining comparable replacement products. The eight products that comprise the ATP Zeta Super Health Program are ATP1s Survivor Select, ATP2 Energized Mineral Concentrate, ATP3 Ionized Cal-Mag, ATP4 Omega Blend, ATP5 BetaMaxx, AGN-Vege Fruit Fiber, AGP1-Iron and YFA-Young Formula.
At present, our products are mainly sold in Malaysia, and due to the contents and combination of the main ingredients in the products they are categorized as health food rather than medicines or drugs. As such, all products require authorization from the Food and Quality Division of Ministry of Health according to the Food Act of 1983 and Food Regulation 1985 in order to be sold in the country. All of the products in the ATP Zeta Super Health Program have obtained the appropriate authorizations.
As part of a continuous effort to increase market share of the health and wellness industry that is growing at an exponential rate, we will also evaluate adding additional products to the ATP Zeta Super Health Program; and considering the potential of the synergies between the health and beauty sectors, we will further involve ourselves in the topical approach of skin and hair regime.
Results of Operation
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
Revenue
The COVID-19 outbreak in the first quarter of 2020 has caused much disruptions in the economic landscape all around the world with different countries imposing sporadic lockdowns, some of which became nationwide at different points in time. Products of the Company originate from the United States, Germany, Australia and Taiwan. The Company was unable to obtain deliveries of its purchases as a result of the lockdowns. The Company, therefore did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company generated revenue of $464,297. The revenues were mainly derived from the sale of health and wellness products.
Cost of Revenue
As explained in revenue above, cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was nil. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $420,178. The costs were predominantly cost of goods purchased and packing materials.
Gross Profit
The Company, therefore did not generate any gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 amounted to $44,119, equivalent to gross margin of approximately 9.5%.

Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $159,516 as compared to $28,226 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The amount mainly comprised of rental of office premises, travelling, licensing and professional fees which includes legal, audit, accounting and consulting services. The increase of SG&A expenses of $131,290 or approximately 465.1% are mainly due to the increase of professional fees of $102,043 as we have recently hired new professional firms located in the U.S. and Hong Kong, including legal counsel, auditor, and financial reporting consultant, to strengthen our current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) listing reporting documents and continue to stay compliant as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, we were using local professional firms in Malaysia. Professional fee incurred by the U.S. and Hong Kong firms are generally higher than the professional fees incurred by the Malaysia firms. The increase of SG&A was also due to the increase of $27,396 of travelling expenses for our CEO for potential business developments.
Other Income (Expenses)
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an amount of $72,234 as other expenses, net as compared to $48,357 other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net other expenses of $72,234 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 comprised interest income of $18,129 and net foreign currency translation loss of $74,618, unrealized holding loss on marketable securities of $18,538 and rebate from sundry purchases of $2,793.
The net other income of $48,357 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 comprised interest income of $23,921 and net foreign currency translation gain of $34,012, $26,085 on share of loss in Investee Company from our equity investment and $16,509 on gain on deemed disposal of shares in Investee Company.
Net Profit (Loss)
The Company sustained net loss of $231,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The loss sustained was predominantly due to reasons as discussed above.
The Company generated net profit of $71,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The net profit reported for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was due to revenue generated while in the same period of fiscal year 2020 there was zero revenue. Selling, administrative and general expenses of the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was also relatively lower as explained in operating expenses above. In addition, there were contribution from other income, net as compared to other expenses, net in the same period in fiscal year 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there was also a write-back of tax provision of $6,965. The tax provision for the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong was not required as the tax regime in Hong Kong exempts taxation on business profits derived outside the Special Administrative Region.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The World Health Organization or WHO, had on March 11, 2020 declared the corona virus or COVID-19 a pandemic. Malaysia, where our products are mainly sold at present, reported 553 cases of the COVID-19 on March 16, 2020; and the number is still rising. In view of the seriousness of the matter, the local government of Malaysia had, on the same day, imposed a nationwide lockdown effective March 18, 2020. As at the date of reporting, COVID_19 cases in Malaysia were over 5,780; and the nationwide lockdown has yet to be fully lifted.

As the intermediary between our suppliers and our sole customer in Malaysia, the COVID-19 pandemic poses challenges to us at both sourcing and supplying our products. Our sole customer has confirmed that onward delivery of our products is via multi-level marketing or MLM to end users who are also members of the MLM group that make up consistent demand of our products. In an effort to embrace globalization, the MLM group has also embarked on e-commerce. The MLM group has synched up with a Malaysian e-commerce trading platform, which will make its debut in the next three months to commence e-marketing and e-trading of its products to members, as well as online e-recruitment of new members. The MLM group is positive that its online e-recruitment service which capitalizes on a large number of followers of well-known key products influencers will dramatically increase the number of members most expediently with minimal cost, thereby increasing demand of our products. Considering our products are health supplements, we also expect impressive demand growth at a time when everyone’s health is at risk. This should translate into sustainable growth once awareness of the importance of health is created. In term of collectability of our accounts receivable from our sole customer, an entity in which our President and CEO has significant influence and is financially healthy, we believe the financial effect of our collection from our sole customer will not be impacted.
Although some of the countries from which our products are sourced are experiencing lockdowns, industries involve in the provision of food especially health products and pharmaceuticals are normally exempted. We may experience slight delay in products delivery lead time but barring unforeseen circumstances, the setback should be temporary.
We anticipate operating primarily in Malaysia and expanding into the Asian markets in the future, with a particular focus, at least initially, on expanding into Thailand, Indonesia and Taiwan. We will explore expansion via e-commerce. When the pandemic has subsided or is over and restrictions on travelling between nations are uplifted, we will set up offices in the countries in which we operate to better service our customers.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the coronavirus cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at the similar level year over year in the next three quarters of 2020. In addition, we may have to record downward adjustments or impairment in the fair value of investments in the second quarter of 2020, if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines.
As of March 31, 2020, we had working capital of $3,977,604 consisting of cash in bank of $135,436 and time deposit of $2,452,771 as compared to working capital of $3,452,665 consisting of cash in bank of $238,937 and time deposit of $2,505,520 as of December 31, 2019. In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our working capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the Form 10-Q.
The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019:

Critical accounting polices
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position, and impairment of investment in non-marketable securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2019. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize- revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of health and wellness products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of substantially collection.
Prior to July 1, 2019, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of goods when the following four revenue criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from supplies of health and wellness products is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred and there are no continuing obligations to the customer. Title and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to and accepted by the customer when the products are collected by the customer at the Company’s office. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, returns, allowances, and other adjustments that are based upon management’s best estimates and historical experience and are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded.
The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption on July 1, 2019, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
Sales of Health and Wellness products
- Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time
On July 1, 2019, the Company derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized when control of the health and wellness products are transferred to its customer at the Company’s office or shipment of the goods, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to July 1, 2019. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied. The revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts and return allowances. Historically, there were no sales return as the Company’s products sold are not refundable, returnable or exchangeable.

Critical accounting polices (Continued)
Fair value of financial instruments
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:
In July 2017, the FASB Issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of the Update change the reclassification analysis of certain equity-lined financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments in Part II of this Update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting polices (Continued)
In August 2018, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement. This amendment modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits, with the primary purpose to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by US GAAP. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign exchange risk. Substantially most of our revenues are denominated in the U.S. dollar while most of our expenses are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit and Hong Kong Dollar. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments. Although in general, our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited, the value of an investment in our Common Stock may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollar and Malaysian Ringgit; and U.S. dollar and Hong Kong Dollar because the value of our business is effectively denominated in Malaysian Ringgit and Hong Kong Dollar, while the Common Stock is traded in U.S. dollars.
Credit risk. Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:
(1) | The Company did not have sufficient full-time personnel with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience to monitor the daily recording of transactions, address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures under U.S. GAAP. |
(2) | Lack of a functional internal audit department or personnel that monitors the consistencies of the preventive internal control procedures; lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures have been carried out as planned. |
(3) | We do not have adequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment. Lack of segregation of duties and effective risk assessment may cause the Company to face the likelihood of fraud or theft, due to poor oversight, governance and review to detect errors. |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we will prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines, to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions.
We plan to initiate the following series of measures to further strengthen the Company’s internal controls going forward:
1. | We intend to engage an external consulting firm to supplement our efforts to the implementation of the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, framework for internal controls. |
2. | We intend to establish an internal audit function with assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of overall internal control. |
3. | Once we hire additional employees, we intend to initiate a comprehensive program and development plan to provide ongoing company-wide trainings regarding internal control, with particular emphasis on our accounting staff. |
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We know of no materials, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest averse to us.
Risks Related to our Business
We are exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on our major customer. A loss of our major customer may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.
Due to the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, we did not earn any revenue from our major customer for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our major customer may terminate its business relationships with us at any time. We cannot assure you that our major customer will maintain current business relationship with us. If it chooses not to do so, our business, financial condition and operating results may suffer from a material adverse impact.
We are exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on our major supplier for the supply of our products, and any shortage of, or delay in, the supply may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.
The business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak also resulted in delay in the delivery of goods purchased from our supplier. As there were no goods delivered by our supplier during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we in turn were unable to deliver goods to our customer. The Company, therefore did not record any purchases for the period under review. Our business, financial condition and operating results depend on the continuous supply of products from our major supplier and our continuous supplier-customer relationship with it. Our heavy reliance on our major supplier for the supply of our products will have significant impact on our business and results of operation in the event of any shortage of, or delay in the supply.
Our major supplier may terminate the distribution agreement by giving notice to us, in which case our business, financial condition and operating results may suffer from a material adverse impact.
As is customary in distribution arrangements of this type, the distribution agreement with our major supplier is terminable by either party by giving notice. There is no assurance that our major supplier will not terminate the distribution agreement. In the event that it terminates the distribution agreement, we will have to source products from other suppliers and we may not be able to secure supply of products with quantity and quality required to support our business or at all. Such termination may therefore have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results if we fail to engage any other suppliers before the termination.
12 |
We are exposed to unforeseeable events of labor disputes, strike action, natural disasters or other accidents, epidemic or pandemic, which may affect the supply of our products from our major supplier.
There is no assurance that our major supplier will continue to supply its products in the quantities and timeframes required by us to meet the needs of our customers or comply with its supply agreement with us. Our product supply may also be disrupted by potential labor disputes, strike action, natural disasters or other accidents, epidemic and pandemic affecting the supplier. If our supplier does not supply products to us in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, in the event of any delay in delivery of the products to us, our cash flow or working capital may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the corresponding delay in delivery of our products to our customers, and hence the delay in our receipt of payment from our customers.
Our major supplier may change its existing sales or marketing strategy by changing its export strategy, reducing its sales or production volume, changing its selling prices or appointing other distributors which may compete with us in the market where we currently operate or which we plan to expand into.
Our major supplier may change its existing sales or marketing strategy in respect of the products supplied to us by changing its export strategy, reducing its sales or production volume or changing its selling prices. Consequently, there is no assurance that our major supplier will not appoint other dealers or distributors which may compete with us in the market where we operate. Furthermore, any significant increase in the selling prices of the products which we source from our supplier will increase our costs and may adversely affect our profit margin if we are not able to pass the increased costs on to our customers.
There is no assurance that there will be no deterioration in our relationship with our major supplier which could affect our ability to secure sufficient supply of products for our business. In the event that our major supplier changes its sales or marketing strategy or otherwise appoint other dealers or distributors who may compete with us, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
We could be adversely affected by a change in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits and failure to develop or enrich our product offering or gain market acceptance of our new products could have a negative effect on our business.
The market we operate is subject to changes in consumer preference, perception and spending habits. Our performance depends significantly on factors which may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in the market we operate. Such factors include consumer preference, consumer confidence, consumer income and consumer perception of the safety and quality of our products. Media coverage regarding the safety or quality of, or diet or health issues relating to, our products or the raw materials, ingredients or processes involved in their manufacturing, may damage consumer confidence in our products. A general decline in the consumption of our products could occur as a result of change in consumer preference, perception and spending habits at any time.
Any failure to adapt our product offering to respond to such changes may result in a decrease in our sales if such changes are related to certain of our products. Any changes in consumer preference could result in lower sales of our products, put pressure on pricing or lead to increased levels of selling and promotional expenses. In any event a decrease in customer demand on our products may also result in lower sales and slow down the consumption of our inventory to a low inventory turnover level. Any of these changes could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or results of operations.
The success of our products depends on a number of factors including our ability to accurately anticipate changes in market demand and consumer preferences, our ability to differentiate the quality of our products from those of our competitors, and the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns for our products. We may not be successful in identifying trends in consumer preferences and developing products that respond to such trends in a timely manner. We also may not be able to effectively promote our products by our marketing and advertising
13 |
campaigns and gain market acceptance. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements, or have quality problems, we may not be able to fully recover our costs and expenses incurred in our operation, and our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims or product recalls.
We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims with respect to our products supplied by our supplier. We may face claims or liabilities which may arise if there exist any defects in quality of these products or any of these products are deemed or proven to be unsafe, defective or contaminated. In the event that the use or misuse of any product distributed by us results in personal injury or death, product liability and/or indemnity claims may be brought against us, in addition to our product recalls, and the relevant regulatory authorities in the market we operate may close down some of our related operations and take administrative actions against us. If we experience any business disruption and litigation, we may incur additional costs and have to divert our management’s attention and resources on such matters, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in a heavily regulated industry.
Our business is principally regulated by various laws and regulations in the market we operate, such as in Malaysia the Food Act of 1983 and Food Regulation 1985 mandate authorization from the Food and Quality Division of the Ministry of Health for our Company’s products to be sold in the country.
Various registrations, certificates and/or licenses for the conduct of our business are required under the above laws, which also contain provisions for requirements on the storage, labelling, advertising and importation of some of our products.
Based on our experience, some of the laws and regulations of the place where we operate our business are subject to amendments, uncertainty in interpretation and administrative actions from time to time. Therefore, we cannot assure you that, for the implementation of our business plans and the introduction of any new product, we will be able to obtain all the necessary registrations, certificates and/or licenses. Any failure to comply with the above laws and regulations may give rise to fines, administrative penalties and/or prosecution against us, which may adversely affect our reputation, financial condition or results of operation.
Legal disputes or proceedings could expose us to liability, divert our management’s attention and negatively impact our reputation.
We may at times be involved in potential legal disputes or proceedings during the ordinary course of business operations relating to product or other types of liability, employees’ claims, labor disputes or contract disputes that could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, operation and financial condition. If we become involved in material or protracted legal proceedings or other legal disputes in the future, the outcome of such proceedings could be uncertain and could result in settlements or outcomes which adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, any litigation or legal proceedings could incur substantial legal expenses as well as significant time and attention of our management, diverting their attention from our business and operations.
If we are not successful in our innovation activities, our results may be negatively affected.
Achieving our business growth objectives depends in part on our ability to successfully develop, introduce and market new products. The success of our innovation activities in turn depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer acceptance and trends, obtain, maintain and enforce necessary intellectual property protections and avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of others. If we are not successful in our innovation activities, we may not be able to achieve our growth objectives, which may have a negative impact on our financial results.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
We earn revenues, pay expenses, own assets and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including Australian Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and the Hong Kong Dollar. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affect our net operating revenues, operating income and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. We cannot assure you that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would not materially affect our financial results.
Our business depends on the continued contributions made by Mr. How Kok Choong, as our key executive officer, the loss of who may result in a severe impediment to our business.
Our success is dependent upon the continued contributions made by our CEO and President, Mr. How Kok Choong. We rely on his expertise in business operations when we are developing our business. We have no “Key Man” insurance to cover the resulting losses in the event that any of our officer or directors should die or resign.
If Mr. How Kok Choong cannot serve the Company or is no longer willing to do so, the Company may not be able to find alternatives in a timely manner or at all. This would likely result in a severe damage to our business operations and would have an adverse material impact on our financial position and operating results. To continue as a viable operation, the Company may have to recruit and train replacement personnel at a higher cost.
Additionally, if Mr. How Kok Choong joins our competitors or develops similar businesses that are in competition with our Company, our business may also be negatively impacted.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified long-term staff to fill management, technology, sales, marketing, and customer services positions. We have a great need for qualified talent, but we may not be successful in attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining the talent required for our success.
If we are not able to achieve our overall long-term growth objectives, the value of an investment in our Company could be negatively affected.
We have established and publicly announced certain long-term growth objectives. These objectives were based on, among other things, our evaluation of our growth prospects, which are generally driven by the sales potential of many product types, some of which are more profitable than others, and on an assessment of the potential price and product mix. There can be no assurance that we will realize the sales potential and the price and product mix necessary to achieve our long-term growth objectives.
We face risks related to health epidemics, severe weather conditions and other outbreaks.
In recent years, there have been outbreaks of epidemics in various countries, including Malaysia. Recently, there was an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), which has spread rapidly to many parts of the world, including Malaysia. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. The epidemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia for the past few weeks.
Substantially all of our revenues are concentrated in Malaysia. Consequently, our results of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Malaysia and global economy in general. Any potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:
15 |
● | temporary closure of offices, travel restrictions, financial impact of our customers or suspension supplies may negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, the demand for our products; | |
● | our sole customer may require additional time to pay us or fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts. We may have to provide significant sales incentives to our sole customer during the outbreak, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results; | |
● | any disruption of our supply chain, logistics providers or customers could adversely impact our business and results of operations, including causing us or our suppliers to cease manufacturing for a period of time or materially delay delivery to our sole customer, which may also lead to loss of our sole customer; and | |
● | the global stock markets have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant decline from the COVID-19 outbreak and the marketable securities that we have invested in could be materially adversely affected, which may lead to significant impairment in the fair values of our investments and in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. |
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the coronavirus cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at the similar level year over year in the next three quarters of 2020. We may have to record downward adjustments or impairment in the fair value of investments in the second quarter of 2020, if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines.
In general, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics, including, but not limited to, the COVID-19, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the influenza A virus, Ebola virus, severe weather conditions such as flood or hazardous air pollution, or other outbreaks. In response to an epidemic, severe weather conditions, or other outbreaks, government and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lead to severe disruption to our daily operations, including temporary closure of our offices and other facilities. These severe conditions may cause us and/or our partners to make internal adjustments, including but not limited to, temporarily closing down business, limiting business hours, and setting restrictions on travel and/or visits with clients and partners for a prolonged period of time. Various impact arising from a severe condition may cause business disruption, resulting in material, adverse impact to our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to our Industry
Our business and reputation may be affected by product liability claims, litigation, customer complaints, product tampering, food safety issues, food-borne illnesses, health threats, quality control concerns or adverse publicity relating to our products. Product liability insurance of our supplier may not cover our liability sufficiently or at all.
Like other consumer product manufacturers, sale of our products involves an inherent risk of our products being found to be unfit for consumption or cause illness. Products may be rendered unfit for consumption due to raw materials or product contamination or degeneration, presence of microbials, illegal tampering of products by unauthorized third parties or other problems arising during the various stages of the procurement, production, transportation and storage processes. The occurrence of such problems may result in customer complaints, fines, penalties or adverse publicity causing serious damage to our reputation and brand, as well as product liability claims, other legal disputes and loss of revenues. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to recall our products. Even if a situation does not necessitate a product recall, we cannot assure you that product liability claims or other legal disputes will not be asserted against us as a result. Product liability insurance of our supplier may not cover our liability sufficiently or at all and will not cover liability that arises out of our default such as mishandling, poor storage condition and/or contamination of the products by us. As a result, a product liability or other judgment against us, or a product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
16 |
Our business is susceptible to food-borne illnesses. We cannot assure you that we are able to effectively prevent all diseases or illnesses caused by our products or contamination of our products. Furthermore, our reliance on third-party product suppliers means that food-borne illness incidents could be caused by our suppliers outside of our control. New illnesses may develop in the future, or diseases with long incubation periods could arise that could give rise to claims or allegations on a retroactive basis. Reports in the media of instances of food-borne illnesses or health threats of our products or any of their major ingredients could adversely and significantly affect our sales, and have significant negative impact on our results of operations. This risk exists even if it were later determined that the illness or health threat in fact was not caused by our products.
In addition, adverse publicity about health and safety concerns, whether unfounded or not, may discourage consumers from buying our products. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused personal injury or illness could adversely affect our reputation and our corporate and brand image. If consumers were to lose confidence in our brand and reputation, we could suffer long-term or even permanent declines in our sales and results of operation. The amount of negative news, customers complaints and claims against us may also be very costly and may divert our management’s attention from our business operation.
Increased competition and capabilities in the marketplace could hurt our business.
The market where we operate is highly competitive. We compete with other companies that operate in multiple geographic areas, as well as numerous companies that are primarily regional or local in operation. Our ability to gain or maintain share of sales in the market where we operate or in various local markets may be limited as a result of actions by competitors. If we do not continue to strengthen our capabilities in marketing and innovation to maintain our brand loyalty and market share while we selectively expand into other product categories, our business could be negatively affected.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
The market price of our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:
● | variations in our actual and perceived operating results, especially during this time when the COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat; | |
● | news regarding gains or losses of customers or suppliers by us or our competitors; | |
● | news regarding gains or losses of key personnel by us or our competitors; | |
● | announcements of competitive developments, acquisitions or strategic alliances in our industry by us or our competitors; | |
● | changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by financial analysts; | |
● | potential litigation; | |
● | the imposition of fines or penalties related to our activities in the market where we operate and failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations; | |
● | general market conditions or other developments affecting us or our industry; and | |
● | the operating and stock price performance of other companies, other industries and other events or factors beyond our control. |
17 |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the shares.
We may never be able to pay dividends and are unlikely to do so.
To date, we have not paid, nor do we intend to pay in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, even if we become profitable. Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to advance our activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes, rather than to make distributions to stockholders. Since we are not in a financial position to pay dividends on our common stock and future dividends are not presently being contemplated, investors are advised that return on investment in our common stock is restricted to an appreciation in the share price. The potential or likelihood of an increase in share price is uncertain.
In addition, under Nevada law, we may only pay dividends subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that our assets will exceed our liabilities after the dividend. Our ability to pay dividends will therefore depend on our ability to generate sufficient profits.
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of securities.
Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or other securities. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock or warrants to purchase such shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market in the future. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us, because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
