NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on May 12, 2017. On August 23, 2017, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of BGS Lab Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian corporation (“BioNexus Malaysia”). BioNexus Malaysia was incorporated in Malaysia on April 7, 2015 which it then subsequently changed its name to Bionexus Gene Lab Sdn. Bhd.

The principal office address is Unit 02 Level 10, Tower B, Vertical Business Suite, No. 8 Jalan Kerinchi, Bangsar South, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, our lab is located at Lab 353, Chemical Science Centre, University Science Malaysia, George Town, Penang, Malaysia. We also have a blood collection center located at 1st floor, Lifecare Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

On December 31, 2020, the Company consummated its acquisition of Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (“Chemrex”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, Chemrex and the Chemrex shareholders wherein the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Chemrex from the Chemrex shareholders in exchange for 68,487,261 shares of common stock of the Company.

The acquisition of Chemrex has been accounted for as a common control transaction as there is no change in the control over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity (i.e. Chemrex) and recognized by the receiving entity (i.e. the Company). The difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity.

The financial statements of the receiving entity report the results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the date the transfer is completed and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. The comparative financial statements were not adjusted retrospectively as Chemrex was not under common control during the comparative period.

The corporate structure as at June 30, 2023 is depicted below:

	BioNexus Gene Lab Corp., a Wyoming company

100% owned		100% owned
Bionexus Gene Lab Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian company		Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian company

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

·	Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bionexus Gene Lab Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·	Use of estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·	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.

·	Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and Chemrex do charge interest to certain debtors with overdue outstanding. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for impairment on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions to adjust in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Trade balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

·	Inventories

Inventories consisting of products available for sell are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks, and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Leases

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

·	Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost over the following expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

The principal annual rates used are as follows:

Categories	Principal Annual Rates
Air conditioner		20	%
Buildings		2	%
Computer and software		33	%
Equipment		20	%
Furniture and fittings	10% to 20		%
Lab Equipment		10	%
Motor vehicle	10% to 20		%
Office equipment		20	%
Renovation	10% to 20		%
Signboard		10	%

Leasehold lands are depreciated over the period of the lease term. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized. When properties are disposed, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the period the transaction takes place.

Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

·	Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant, sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the lowest level group. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

·	Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

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

The Company records revenue at point in time which is recognized upon goods delivered or services rendered.

·	Shipping and handling fees

Shipping and handling fees, if billed to customers, are included in revenue. Shipping and handling fees associated with inbound and outbound freight are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distribution expenses.

·	Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·	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 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 period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclosed 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.

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in their own jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

·	Net earnings or loss per share

The Company calculates net earnings or loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share.” Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed similar to basic earnings or 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.

☐	Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to related parties and other payables 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 six-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

☐	Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

☐	Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

☐	Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did the Company have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

☐	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.

☐	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards 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. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 highlighted the adoption timeline. For smaller reporting entities, Topic 326 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, of which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023

Credit loss rate is determined by historical collection based on aging schedule, adjusted for current conditions using reasonable and supportable forecasts. Based on the aging categorization and the adjusted loss rate per category, an allowance for credit losses is calculated by multiplying the adjusted loss rate with the amortized cost in the respective age category.

NOTE 3 - TRADE RECEIVABLES

The Company has performed an analysis on all its trade receivables. As such, trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts and expected credit losses is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as identified for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s trade receivables consist of receivable from customers which are unrelated to the Company. The account receivables are interest bearing at a rate of 6% per annum on a case to case basis for customers that exceeded credit term. The normal trade credit term is generally on 30 days to 90 days term.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023 up through August 16, 2023 of these consolidated financial statements.

(a) Initial Public Offering

On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., as underwriter (the "Underwriter") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering by the Company (the "Offering") of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, no par value, priced at a public offering price of $4.00 per share.

In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter was granted a 45-day option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to an additional 187,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $4.00 per share. The Underwriter fully exercised the Over-Allotment Option on July 24, 2023.

The securities were offered by the Company pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269753), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on February 14, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on July 19, 2023.

On July 24, 2023, the Offering closed, and the Company issued and sold 1,437,500 shares of common stock, including 187,500 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Offering was priced at $4.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $5.75 million before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter received an 8% underwriting discount on the public offering price for the shares common stock. The Company will therefore receive net proceeds, before expenses, of $5,290,000 from the sale of the common stocks. In addition, the Company issued to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 115,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Underwriter's Warrants") at an exercise price of $4.40 per share. The Underwriter's Warrants are exercisable from July 24, 2023 until July 24, 2028.

(b) Reversal of stock split

On June 5, 2023, the Company filed an Article of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State to modify the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split from one-for-ten (10) to one-for-twelve (12) (the “Revised Reverse Stock Split”). Upon effectiveness of the Revised Reverse Stock Split, every twelve (12) outstanding shares of common stock will be combined into and automatically become one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Revised Reverse Stock Split and all such fractional shares or odd lots (less than 100 shares to any record or beneficial holder) issuable in the Revised Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, or rounded up to 100 shares, respectively.

The Revised Reverse Stock Split was approved and authorized by a majority of the Company’s stockholder on May 8, 2023 and by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 8, 2023.

On July 19, 2023, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority announced the Revised Reverse Stock Split.

As a result of the 1:12 reverse stock split and the closing of the Offering, the Company has 17,698,549 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of August 14, 2023.

The results of operations of our subsidiary, BioNexus-Malaysia, with respect to its RNA screening process have been adversely impacted by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic followed by a number of prominent variants, including Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron. Although new variants are an expected part of the evolution of viruses, new variant is more aggressive, highly transmissible, vaccine-resistant, able to cause more severe disease in Malaysia. We believe that most people were reluctant to visit hospitals and clinics in view of the post Covid-19 Omicron and its subvariants for fear of transmission from other patients or medical staff. Since our RNA screening is administered at a diagnostic center, our business has been adversely affected as a result.

The results of operations for Chemrex were adversely impacted during fiscal year 2023 and the 1^st quarter of 2023 as businesses of Chemrex customers especially the manufacturers had suffered significant impact. Many of them across the country saw their supply chains interrupted, demand for their products and services decline, shortages in supplies and inputs.

Recent Developments.

We had proposed an annual $28m screening project to the Chief Secretary of the Health Ministry of Malaysia for a nationwide RNA screening on 0.2% of the population aged 40 and above. The Deputy Director General from Public Health met us on January 17, 2023 to examine the cost effectiveness of our RNA screening. While the Federal government is studying our proposal, the Sabah state government planned to allocate $2.5m to establish a lab in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah capital city for Bionexus-Malaysia to work with local hospitals and state insurance corporation. Meanwhile, we had presented our technology and expansion plan nationally and globally to the Minister of Science and Technology. We received favorable response, and were advised to submit for a $2m technology grant for the continuation of research, commercialization and expansion.

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and the board of directors; and

iii)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

The Company’s management had assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which assessment identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting had improved. A material weakness could create reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements. The management considers its internal control over financial reporting required further improvement.

Management had concluded an internal control over financial reporting and glad to note that a majority of our Board of Directors was made up of independent directors and the Audit Committee comprised of all independent directors since 2023, the adequacy in the monitoring of required internal controls and procedures were improving.

While these control deficiencies did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2023 or 2022 interim or annual financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties.

To the extent reasonably possible, given our limited resources, upon consummation of a merger with a private operating company, the Company had been relying on three or more individuals. We were expanding our current board of directors to include additional independents willing to perform directorial functions. Since the recited remedial actions and we would hire or engage additional personnel, this material weakness would be overcome in the near term. Until such remedial actions could be realized, we would continue to rely on the advice of outside professionals and consultants.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended June 30, 2023, there had been no change in internal control over financial reporting that had materially affected or was reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
