Business Overview

AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. is currently providing market research studies and consulting services pertaining to system solutions and integration of unattended payment kiosks and payment processing to our clients. Our present clients, who are related parties, are payment solution companies located in Malaysia, although we intend to provide services to other geographic regions in the future.

We have additional plans to develop our own software, which we anticipate we will be able to be merge and integrate onto such Payment Processing or Unattended Payment Kiosk, to accept payments and collect data. Additionally, we have plans, which we are still developing and exploring, to create Web-Based Solutions in four areas which include Payment Processing, Regulatory Technology (REGTECH), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Unattended Payment Kiosks for financial institutions, and other industries. We refer to the four pillars of our business as “Focus Solutions”. A further elaboration will be discussed under the “Description of Business” below.

Later, we may decide to expand upon our current plans and may also explore options of developing additional software types. We intend to utilize existing and future relationships that may be gained by our officers and directors as a means to expand our reach across the Southeast Asia region, which has a population of approximately 660 million individuals. We believe this market provides us a large pool of businesses that may benefit from our current and future service offerings and or software that may become available as our business plan progresses.

Payment Market - Asian Market

Asia stands at the forefront of payment innovation, particularly in regards to digital and online payments, accounting for 51% of the global market share. Asia’s market share of the global payment market grew 6% in 2020, and is projected to achieve a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 6% from 2019 to 2024, slightly above the global GDP rate of 5%, with the majority of growth evidenced in countries in Southeast Asia.^[1]

On the other hand, Southeast Asian countries continue to be defined by extraordinary rates of growth in digital payment markets, implying a CAGR of 21.3% in Malaysia, 20.2% in Vietnam, 18.6% in the Philippines and Indonesia. Digital adoption in Southeast Asian countries currently grows at a CAGR of 14%, and is expected to reach 292 million smartphone users by the end of 2020.^[2]

Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar have started to implement new payment methods like Faster payments, Bulk payments and online payments using electronic wallets since 2018. The adoption of these new payment methods has increased significantly, especially with the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.

It is expected that the global digital payment market will increase at a CAGR of 6%, with total revenues increasing by $715 billion and surpassing $2.7 trillion by 2023. In emerging counties, electronic payments transactions are increasing at a rate of 22% over the next five years to support revenue growth. It is projected that the global payment market will remain fairly high at 14% CAGR for the next five years.^[3]

Regtech – Asian Market

RegTech is the management of regulatory processes within the financial industry via technology, including regulatory monitoring, reporting and compliance. In recent years, there has been a strong regulatory focus on financial crime. The key drivers of RegTech adoption consist of compliance, cost, and complexity. The ability of RegTech using technologies such as advanced analytics, robotic process automation and cognitive computing offer new efficiencies in compliance, which offers a lower cost.^[4]

The RegTech market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.5%, from USD 4.3 billion to USD 12.3 billion by 2023. Asia-Pacific is expected to become the new engine of Regtech growth and innovation, contributing 20% of the global market share, lagging only the American market. While most RegTech firms are based in the United States and Europe, local players are starting to appear in Asia especially in Malaysia.^[5]

Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) adopted RegTech at an early stage in 2017 along with the release of the “Financial Services Industry Transformation Map” to make Singapore the leading global financial centre in Asia. In September 2020, MAS was awarded the “Global Impact” award at the Central Banking FinTech RegTech awards.^[6] On the other hand, Hong Kong plans to launch a series of RegTech specific projects focusing on AML, prudential risk management and compliance, study on machine-readable regulations and exploration of RegTech.

In Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has initiated a standard reporting platform based on XBRL in 2012, which requires all Reporting Entities (RE) to adopt RegTech in their data reporting systems. This includes all statistics reporting, credit risk and international transactions exposure assets and liabilities. Similar initiatives have been adopted by the Securities Commission for all publicly listed companies.

The RegTech industry is now moving into the third stage from ‘know your customer’ to ‘know your data’, as financial institutions start to view risks and regulations as data and prediction problems that can be addressed by technology. Despite the popularity of adopting RegTech, it is not a solution for all corporate governance and risk management issues. Data quality is a major key factor to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of RegTech.

Hence, Companies may require data quality improvement beforehand in a more well-mannered way and may adopt a hybrid of humanity and RegTech in order to make compliance decisions, as opposed to a full dependence on technology.^[7] Therefore, with accurate data quality, the potential of RegTech can be maximized and can be used in different industries to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Robotic Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) also called “intelligent automation” or “smart automation” refers to advanced technologies that can be programmed to perform a series of tasks, like data manipulation, triggering responses, and creating necessary communication with other processes and systems. RPA is similar to traditional IT automation but the major difference between these technologies is that RPA is, itself, capable of learning and is adaptive to changing circumstances, while a traditional IT automation system is not.^[8] In Asia-Pacific, the RPA market size is estimated to be USD $29 Billion, implying 203% growth by 2021.^[9]

The factor that is driving the growth of this market is the high level of cost savings for businesses. Since robots are utilized for the processes it helps reduce operational costs and also the costs arising from human error. Thus, a onetime investment on RPA ensures high returns to businesses who are more than eager to integrate these processes in their workflows. The adoption of RPA among SMEs, especially financial services, are causing market growth to thrive. The increasing shift toward cloud-based solutions and the increasing adoption of robot-based solutions in different industries are expected to create new opportunities for the establishment of the robotic process automation market globally. Asia-Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest growing market during the forecasted period. The development of Asian countries and the demand for consumer electronic products is forcing manufacturers to adopt cost-effective technology in the manufacturing process. With rapid advancements in digitization and information technology, the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in robotic process automation market.

The cost of Labour in the Southeast Asia region has required the significant use of RPA to augment the need to hire more staff to perform mundane and repetitive tasks. The use of RPA has been the buzz word in all business sectors starting in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia.

Unattended Payment Kiosk

The world is moving to a technological era where human interaction to perform daily tasks is falling rapidly. The unattended and self-service kiosk market worldwide was valued at US$23.45 billion in 2018 and is set to grow with a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period^[10]. The market is primarily driven by the growing adoption of smart technologies in retail and banking industries. Globally, unattended or self-service kiosk desks are being implemented mainly to develop operational efficiency with the aim of time management. Additionally, the development of modern infrastructure and smart cities is increasing the significance of kiosks and thus has spurred its adoption across various developed and developing regions. Furthermore, apart from commercial applications, self-service kiosks systems have gained momentum in the industrial sector.

As mentioned earlier, payment at a kiosk is often the preferred option for consumers these days, as kiosks are benefiting from vastly improved designs and are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to meet consumers’ needs. Meeting consumers’ needs also means that use cases will proliferate — as will the settings in which smart kiosks will be found.^[11] In the long run, companies could reduce costs by being able to serve more customers with the same number of, or fewer, staff, and kiosks are also very effective in terms of retail space.

With the recent Covid-19 outbreak that has negatively affected the world, society prefers to perform their tasks, such as paying utility bills, without any human interaction. As such, the unattended payment kiosk could see a further increase in popularity as an alternative method of payment.

Our Solution and Services

AsiaFIN Holdings Corp, through its Malaysia and Hong Kong subsidiaries, is currently providing market research studies and consultancy services pertaining to system solutions and integration of unattended payment kiosks and payment processes to its clients, who are related parties, which are primarily payment solution companies in Malaysia. Although at present we currently provide services solely to companies located in Malaysia, it is the Company’s intention to expand our service area to companies located in Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and other areas of the South East Asia region. The purpose of our Hong Kong subsidiary is, in part, for geographic convenience pertaining to our speculative future expansion efforts. We aspire to enhance the efficiency of our clients’ financial services system through information technology and by promoting a Web-Based solution to our customers in addition to providing consulting services. Our mission is to become the “ecosystem enabler” through our solutions in Payment Processing, Regulatory Technology (REGTECH), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Unattended Payment Kiosks that help to facilitate the business operations, and assist with system integration, for merchants and entrepreneurs in Asia.

Below are the progressive stages on how we provide, or will provide, our services to our clients:

Payment Processing

As the cashless era is developing rapidly due to the ease of accessing the internet, people are slowly shifting from cash payment to e-payment in order to perform transactions. AsiaFIN is currently acting as a consultant and payment solution advisor to financial institutions and payment providers, we aim to shape their strategy, co-create new payment services, and transform their payment solutions to a more optimized model for their business. The company believes that with a suitable model of payment solution, it will increase the likelihood of consumers using the payment system to perform day to day transactions. Payment gateway (it authorizes payments such as e-commerce transactions then securely transmits data to the processor to process) and payment processor (it connects the merchant accounts and the e-payment gateway to pass information securely to settle the payment) are two major components of a payment transaction.

AsiaFIN is currently providing consulting services pertaining to system solutions and integration to its clients. In the near future, AsiaFIN plans to develop its own Web based solutions on payment processing to financial institutions and payment system providers, that is capable of supporting the Straight Through Processing (STP) of all types of payment transactions. AsiaFIN plans to approach digital software solution providers like Silverlake Axis Limited, Temenos, to acquire our solutions for the integration of their payment system to multiple payment gateways (e.g. Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT), Instant Interbank Fund Transfer (IBTF), Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), etc). Our solution intends to support all integration methods which include IBM Websphere MQ Series, etc. Our 3 main key points for the characteristics of our payment software solution are, flexibility, security, and scalability:

Flexibility – Our software would be flexible and extendable to interface with various types of payment gateways (e.g. SWIFT, RTGS, IBFT and etc);

Security – All data would be highly encrypted and can be decrypted only with our proprietary software; and

Scalability – Our solution shall be a stable product which is easy to configure to support 3-tier architecture (a client-server architecture in which the functional process logic, data access, computer data storage and user interface are developed and maintained as independent modules on separate platforms).

RegTech

AsiaFIN plans to develop a software solution on regulatory and financial reporting (RegTech) which could integrate with XBRL reporting and other compliance reporting required by Regulatory agencies such as Central Bank, Securities Commission, Tax Authority Department and Companies Registry. Further, we hope to integrate with the Reporting system of ICT providers or digital software solution providers in these ASEAN countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia to ease and quicken the adoption of this reporting standard. We also plan to have strategic collaboration with the ICT providers and reporting software solution providers in these ASEAN countries. We believe with our CEO and director’s extensive experience in the Financial IT industry, professional network in the ICT industry and technological knowledge, it could ease the integration and collaboration process.

Additionally, the company plans to further develop this RegTech software solution, as mentioned above, in Web-Based to support professional service providers such as business consultants, accountants, tax agents or tax consultants to manage all the regulatory report preparation and automated report submission in a single platform, in order for them to file their reports to the Regulatory Bodies.

The aforementioned solutions would provide facility to generate reports by integrating interfaces with source system. With this system, professional service provider firms and consultant firms would be able to extract data from source systems, massage and merge with required business rules and reporting logic, and make it into a report format required by Regulatory Bodies.

At present, all plans pertaining to the creation of a software solution on regulatory and financial reporting are in development, and we cannot state with any certainty how much time, capital, or other resources will be required to complete development of a RegTech platform.

Robotic Process Automation

The Company plans to develop Robotic Process Automation software solutions for financial institutions with a focus on the beginning stages of the financial institutions’ payment system pertaining to Customer Acquisition. Our system will automate the capturing of customer information from identity cards, passports and other identification peripherals. Our solution will automatically extract data from customers’ identity card, passport, etc. and will immediately fill-in the forms, eliminating the friction and errors caused by manual input, through Optical Character Recognition technology. Information extracted from an official identification document will then be checked against existing financial institutions database for regulatory screening in Internal Blacklist Check, Anti Money Laundering, Credit Scoring Check, FATCA and Common Reporting Standard (CRS), etc. Upon successful developing such solutions, we will mobilize the platform for the ease of financial institutions to run their operations outside the branch with speedy operation turn-around time by automating the customer profile screening process. However, at the moment we do not have a definite plan for development, and it is possible that our current, preliminary, plans may change significantly over time.

AsiaFIN plans to first roll out our RPA solutions into South East Asia countries i.e. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar and thereafter to other Asia countries like Dubai. In addition, AsiaFin will seek to form joint ventures or strategic collaborations with software solution providers in Asian countries to facilitate the integration of the system and market development in Asian countries.

At present, all plans pertaining to the creation of Robotic Process Automation are in development and we cannot state with any certainty how much time, capital, or other resources will be required to complete development of a Robotic Process Automation solution.

Unattended Payment Kiosk

The usage of unattended payment kiosk is increasing rapidly, thereby resulting in a higher demand. There are different types of unattended payment kiosks, and many of them have different functions such as ticketing, bill payment, etc. We are currently providing consulting services to unattended payment kiosk providers pertaining to the features of the unattended payment kiosks they intend to manufacture with new technology. With the experience of our officers and directors in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, we believe that we are able to benefit unattended payment kiosk providers by making recommendations pursuant to the needs of consumers. The company also plans to have strategic collaboration with electronic payment system providers such as Touch ’n Go, a Malaysian well known provider for toll expressway and highway operators pertaining to system integration with unattended payment kiosks. At present, remain in the preliminary phase of our study on the potential integration of Touch ’n Go with unattended payment kiosks, and cannot state with certainty when we will progress beyond this phase.

Future Plan

Marketing

AsiaFIN plans to participate frequently in several international or regional scale industry roadshows, conferences, and exhibitions to promote its Focus Solutions to potential markets in Asia. And with planned participation in Award programs, AsiaFIN can be recognized as a premium solution provider in Asia. For example, Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (“GITEX”) Technology Week in Dubai, CES annual trade show organized by Consumer Technology Association in Las Vegas, Singapore Fintech Festival organized by Monetary Authority of Singapore in Singapore, and Robotic Process and Intelligence Automation Conference in Malaysia.

We believe that while displaying our company through customized exhibition stands, banners, counters, brochures and leaflets at these events or exhibition, we will be able to draw attention from the participants. We will then network and register these participants into our prospective client list. Post event, we will utilize these connections by scheduling meetings in person with these prospects to demo our proposed solutions (these proposed solutions maybe currently owned by third party or own by us in future).

We have developed our website at https://asiafingroup.com/ to market our services, and we intend to utilize search engine marketing to improve the visibility of our corporate website once we have successfully raised some funds. We also plan to explore omnichannel marketing options through different social medias such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, to do a marketing campaign via direct messaging.

We also plan on reaching out to associations or any other organisations such as the FinTech Association of Malaysia (“FOAM”) once we have made contact thorough our marketing efforts. We plan to start email marketing campaigns and send out emails to a large database associated with these organisations accumulated through their memberships, pending formalization of any collaboration with these associations or organisations.

In addition, AsiaFIN plans to create market expansion through joint ventures or strategic collaborations with software solution providers and unattended payment kiosk providers in ASEAN countries such as Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and will then further expand to the rest of countries in Asia. All of the above marketing plans have not yet been determined in sufficient detail to outline at this time and remain under development.

Competition

AsiaFIN plans to operate in a highly competitive industry. We intend to focus on selling our Focus Solutions to companies in Asia, with a particular focus on ASEAN countries. Although there are numerous alternatives, we intend to distinguish ourselves by creating a strong relationship with our clients and by ensuring our commitment to provide exceptional solutions.

By ensuring high customer satisfaction for our clients, we hope to ensure repeat sales from the same customers and generate the referral of new clients. In addition, AsiaFIN will participate strongly in industry roadshows and conferences to promote our solutions to potential markets in Asia. We intend to participate in Award programs, so we can be recognised as a premium solution provider in Asia. We intend to use all available social media, for example LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to promote our solutions. Lastly, the Company intends to encourage our existing clients to furnish recommendation letters and organize signing ceremonies to further increase awareness of our solutions and AsiaFIN in the future.

Hong Kong

This Ordinance provides for the statutory requirements relating to customer due diligence (CDD) and record-keeping for all financial institutions, which include money remitters and money exchangers (collectively referred to as money service operators and making such an obligation legally enforceable.

In the event that the CDD requirements are not met, this would be classified as an offence under the AMLO. Enforcement action would then be taken by the relevant regulator, such as Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Securities and Futures Commission (Hong Kong) , depending on the financial institution involved in the breach.. In addition, in regards to money service operators, the Customs and Excise Department will be the regulator and will be responsible for taking enforcement action for any breach of the CDD requirements

To underline the commitment of intellectual property protection, the Government established the Intellectual Property Department on 2 July 1990. The Intellectual Property Department is responsible for advising the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development on policies and legislation to protect intellectual property in the Hong Kong SAR; for operating the Hong Kong SAR’s Trade Marks, Patents, Designs and Copyright Licensing Bodies Registries; for promoting awareness and protection of intellectual property through public education; and for facilitating the development of Hong Kong as an intellectual property trading hub in the region.

Hong Kong SAR patent law is territorial. Patents granted in the Hong Kong SAR will only get protection in the Hong Kong SAR. The Hong Kong SAR patent system is separate from the other patent systems in the Mainland or elsewhere in the world. In other words, patents granted by the State Intellectual Property Office in the Mainland or other patent offices elsewhere do not automatically enjoy protection in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong SAR’s trade mark registration system is separate from the other trade mark systems in the Mainland or elsewhere in the world. Trade marks registered with the Trademark Office under the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People’s Republic of China or trademarks registries of other countries or regions do not automatically receive protection in the Hong Kong SAR. In order to obtain protection as registered trademarks in the Hong Kong SAR, trademarks must be registered under the Trade Marks Ordinance (Cap 559).

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) is the main legislation in Hong Kong that regulates the collection, use, transfer, processing and storage of personal data and regulates both private and public sectors. However, some data users may be exempt from certain requirements under the PDPO, for instance, where personal data is held/disclosed:

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has issued codes of practice, guidance notes and information leaflets that provide data protection guidance in relation to specific industry sectors and activities, for instance, employee monitoring and the collection and use of personal data through the Internet. Although these guidelines are not legally binding, the PCPD may take into consideration any non-compliance with these guidelines when determining whether a data user has contravened the data protection principles of the PDPO.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Holders

As of December 31, 2022, we had 73,319,800 shares of our Common Stock par value, $.0001 issued and outstanding. There were 149 beneficial owners of our Common Stock.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent for our capital stock is VStock Transfer, LLC, with an address at 18, Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598 and telephone number is +1 (212)828-843.

Penny Stock Regulations

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.

Dividend Policy

Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Currently, there is no unregistered sales of equity securities.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers

We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview

AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. is a company that operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, AsiaFIN Holdings Corp., a Company organized in Labuan, Malaysia. It should be noted that our wholly owned subsidiary, AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. owns 100% AsiaFIN Holdings Limited, the operating Hong Kong Company. The purpose of the Company’s Labuan, Malaysia subsidiary structure is for the Labuan, Malaysia subsidiary to act as a holding company. At the present time, we do not have definitive plans for which markets we will be expanding to, but we will utilize this subsidiary to prepare for future expansion efforts. The purpose of the Hong Kong Company is to function as the current regional hub, carrying out the majority of physical operations, of the Company. All of the previous entities share the same exact business plan.

We have one physical office, which is located at Suite 30.02, 30th Floor, Menara KH (Promet), Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Through our Malaysia and Hong Kong subsidiaries, we are currently providing market research studies and consulting services pertaining to system solutions and integration of unattended payment kiosks and payment processing to our clients. Our present clients, who are related parties, are payment solution companies located in Malaysia, although we intend to provide services to other geographic regions in the future.

We have additional plans to develop our own software, which we anticipate we will be able to be merge and integrate onto such Payment Processing or Unattended Payment Kiosk, to accept payments and also collect data. Additionally, we have plans, which we are still developing and exploring, to create Web-Based Solutions in four areas which include Payment Processing, Regulatory Technology (REGTECH), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Unattended Payment Kiosks for financial institutions, and other industries. We refer to the four pillars of our business as “Focus Solutions”.

At a later date, we may decide to expand upon our current plans and may also explore options of developing additional software types. We intend to utilize existing and future relationships that may be gained by our officers and directors as a means to expand our reach across the South East Asia region, which has a population of approximately 660 million individuals. We believe this market provides us a large pool of businesses that may benefit from our current and future service offerings and or software that may become available as our business plan progresses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements for AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2022 is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and AsiaFIN Holdings Limited. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the balance sheets, and the reported revenue and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of goods following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) Identify performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price; and (5) recognize revenue when performance obligation are satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and taxes applicable to the revenue. The Company derives its revenue from provision of providing system development advisory services, market research and marketing surveys regarding unattended kiosk and payment processing preferences.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost incurred in providing system development advisory services, market research and marketing surveys regarding unattended kiosk and payment processing preferences.

Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

Net loss per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Foreign currencies translation

The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries in Labuan and Hong Kong are United States Dollars (“US$”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

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 statements of operations.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the 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 years. 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 statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from RM and HK$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective years:

Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amount due to a director approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

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. 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. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023 as the Company is qualified as a smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-05 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) entirely from current accounting guidance. The Company has elected adoption of this standard, which eliminates the designation of DSEs and the requirement to disclose results of operations and cash flows since inception.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of December 31, 2022, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the year ended 2022.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year covered by this Report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

All research and development are done by the local Malaysian expertise under the guidance of MDEC.

Once again in 2018, he cofounded another R&D company called OrangeFIN Asia Sdn. Bhd., focusing on Robotics Process Automation (RPA). These software robots were developed first for cheque clearing functions with artificial intelligence. These robots replace humans in making decisions for approving and clearing cheques for a local bank in Malaysia. Now OrangeFIN aims to put a robot in every organisation in Malaysia and throughout Southeast Asia.

Seah Kok Wah – Director

Mr. Seah Kok Wah , a Malaysian, currently serves as the Executive Director of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp.

Mr. Seah Kok Wah graduated from California State University, Chico, the United States of America with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Computer Science (with Distinction). He also holds a doctorate in International Business. In 1994, Mr. Seah Kok Wah began his tech career in Silicon Valley California as a software developer for Software Publishing Corporation and Netscape Communications Corporation. He returned to Malaysia in 1997, recruited by Sun Microsystem Malaysia to provide consultancy to the MSC Smart Schools and Telemedicine flagship projects.

In 2010, Mr. Seah Kok Wah co-founded Galasys PLC (LSE:GLS), a company that was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2014. During his time in Galasys PLC, Mr. Seah Kok Wah served as the Chief Executive Officer. In 2018, He has co-founded SEATech Ventures Corp. (OTC-PINK: SEAV) and it was floated in late 2020. Mr. Seah Kok Wah has co-founded Angkasa-X Group of companies recently and serves as the Executive Chairman.

Mr. Seah Kok Wah has been appointed as the Chairman of The World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA), a leading consortium of ICT industry association-members from over 80 global companies. WITSA members represent over 90% of the world IT market.

Corporate Governance

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company review the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

Committees of the Board

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Director(s) can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

We believe that our Director(s) are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Director(s) of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our Directors and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Independence of Directors

We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

Shareholder Proposals

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp.

Suite 30.02, 30^th Floor, Menara KH (Promet),

Jalan Sultan Ismail,

50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for year ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used 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.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations and negative operating cashflows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current year audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there are no critical matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

ASIAFIN HOLDINGS CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

Business Overview

AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. is currently providing market research studies and consulting services pertaining to system solutions and integration of unattended payment kiosks and payment processing to our clients. Our present clients, who are related parties, are payment solution companies located in Malaysia, although we intend to provide services to other geographic regions in the future.

We have additional plans to develop our own software, which we anticipate we will be able to be merge and integrate onto such Payment Processing or Unattended Payment Kiosk, to accept payments and collect data. Additionally, we have plans, which we are still developing and exploring, to create Web-Based Solutions in four areas which include Payment Processing, Regulatory Technology (REGTECH), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Unattended Payment Kiosks for financial institutions, and other industries. We refer to the four pillars of our business as “Focus Solutions”. A further elaboration will be discussed under the “Description of Business” below.

Later, we may decide to expand upon our current plans and may also explore options of developing additional software types. We intend to utilize existing and future relationships that may be gained by our officers and directors as a means to expand our reach across the Southeast Asia region, which has a population of approximately 660 million individuals. We believe this market provides us a large pool of businesses that may benefit from our current and future service offerings and or software that may become available as our business plan progresses.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements for AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries for year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. and AsiaFIN Holdings Limited.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

ASIAFIN HOLDINGS CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

Use of estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the balance sheets, and the reported revenue and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of goods following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) Identify performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price; and (5) recognize revenue when performance obligation are satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and taxes applicable to the revenue. The Company derives its revenue from provision of providing system development advisory services, market research and marketing surveys regarding unattended kiosk and payment processing preferences.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost incurred in providing system development advisory services, market research and marketing surveys regarding unattended kiosk and payment processing preferences.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

Income taxes

The provision of income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the years that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $112,202 and negative operating cash flow of $105,991. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company does not have sufficient revenue to cover its operating cost due to the research and development activities performed in the initial stage. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its major shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.

No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability in profitability that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

Net income/(loss) per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Foreign currencies translation

The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries in Labuan and Hong Kong are United States Dollars (“US$”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

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 statements of operations.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the 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 year. 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 statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from RM into US$1 and HK$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective years:

 SCHEDULE OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE

Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, subscription receivables, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, and other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, except as follows:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
