NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION  

Exceed World, Inc., formerly known as Brilliant Acquisition, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 25, 2014. On August 1, 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30 to September 30. As a result of this change, our fiscal year 2016 was a 10-month transition period ending on September 2016. Beginning with the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017, we reported our quarterly results in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q based on our new fiscal calendar. Accordingly, we reported the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 as the three month period ended December 31, 2016, which included the results of October and November 2016, the last two months of our previously reported fiscal year 2016. On October 28, 2016, 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. were cancelled (the “Stock Cancellation”). On October 28, 2016, the Company performed the forward stock split, whereby every one (1) share of the common stock was automatically reclassified and changed into twenty (20) shares (the “20-for-1 Forward Stock Split”). The authorized number of shares and par value per share were not affected by the 20-for-1 Forward Stock Split. The 20-for-1 Forward Stock Split was executed subsequent to the Stock Cancellation. As of December 31, 2016, the Company conducts a business of selling and distributing of health related products through School TV Co., Ltd. (“School TV”), a Japan corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Exceed World, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three month period, have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the Company. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America has been omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the ten months ended September 30, 2016, included in our Form 10-K/T.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions made by management include going concern, valuation allowance on deferred income tax, inventory obsolescence and sales allowance. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiary, School TV. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

INVENTORIES 

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently-available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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. 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of shareholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2016, the FASB recently issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which addresses classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires an entity’s reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows to include in cash and cash equivalents amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, but an entity will need to disclose the nature of the restrictions. ASU 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, adjustments should be reflected at the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Entities should apply this ASU using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December, 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20 to make technical corrections and improvements to Topic 660, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendment affects narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including Loan Guarantee Fees, Contract Costs, Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations, Disclosure of Prior Period Performance Obligations, Contract Modifications, Contract Asset vs. Receivable, Refund Liability, Advertising Costs, Fixed Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry, and Costs Capitalized for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds. The ASU No. 2016-20 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of ASU 2016-20 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

nOTE 3 - Income taxes

The Company conducts its major businesses in Japan and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the local tax authority.

National income tax in Japan is charged at 15% of a company’s assessable profit. The Company’s subsidiary, School TV, was incorporated in Japan and is subject to Japanese National income tax and city income tax at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income as reported in their Japanese statutory accounts in accordance with the relevant enterprises income tax laws applicable to foreign enterprises.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, income tax of School TV was $410 (JPY 44,956) and income tax payable was $385 (JPY 44,956). The effective income tax rate of School TV is 15%.

Exceed World, Inc., which acts as a holding company on a non-consolidated basis, does not plan to engage any business activities and current or future loss will be fully allowed. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and twelve months ended September 30, 2015, Exceed World, Inc., as a holding company registered in the state of Delaware, has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability.

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis of accounting assuming that the Company is a going concern that contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company has suffered from recurring losses, negative working capital of $37,497, and had generated negative cash flows from operations of $14,863.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions and uncertainties raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $153,248 owed to Tomoo Yoshida, its sole director, for payment of the Company’s expenses of which $4,835 was paid for the acquisition of School TV‘s common stock. These are due on demand and bear no interest.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Company Overview

Corporate History

The Company was originally incorporated with the name Brilliant Acquisition, Inc., under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 25, 2014, with an objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business.

On January 12, 2016, Thomas DeNunzio of 780 Reservoir Avenue, #123, Cranston, RI 02910, the sole shareholder of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. (“e-Learning”), with an address at 1-23-38-6F, Esakacho, Suita-shi, Osaka 564-0063 Japan. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. DeNunzio transferred to e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd., 20,000,000 shares of our common stock which represents all of our issued and outstanding shares.

Following the closing of the share purchase transaction, e-Learning gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

On January 12, 2016, the Company changed its name to Exceed World, Inc. and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, a Certificate of Amendment.

On January 12, 2016, Mr. Thomas DeNunzio resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices.

On January 12, 2016, Mr. Tomoo Yoshida was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.

On February 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tomoo Yoshida, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. Pursuant to this Agreement, Tomoo Yoshida transferred to Exceed World, Inc., 10 shares of the common stock of E&F Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“E&F”), which represents all of its issued and outstanding shares in consideration of $4,835 (JPY 500,000). Following the effective date of the share purchase transaction on February 29, 2016, Exceed World, Inc. gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of E&F’s common stock and E&F became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exceed World.  On August 4, 2016, the E&F changed its name to School TV Co., Ltd (“School TV”) and filed with the Legal Affairs Bureau in Osaka, Japan. 

On April 1, 2016, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. entered into stock purchase agreements with 7 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. sold 140,000 shares of common stock in total to these individuals and received $270 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid .215 Japanese Yen per share. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent of about .002 USD. 

The aforementioned sale of shares was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S") because the above sales of the stock were made to non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.

On August 1, 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30 to September 30. 

On August 9, 2016, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. entered into stock purchase agreements with 33 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. sold 3,300 shares of common stock in total to these individuals and received $330 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid 10 Japanese Yen per share. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent of about 0.1 USD. 

These shares were sold pursuant to the Company’s effective S-1 Registration Statement deemed effective on July 20, 2016 at 4pm EST. 

On October 28, 2016, Exceed World, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), with the approval of its board of directors and its majority shareholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting, authorized the cancellation of shares owned by e-Learning Laboratory Co, Ltd. e-Learning Laboratory Co, Ltd. has provided consent for the cancellation of shares. The total number of shares cancelled was 19,000,000 shares which was comprised of 16,500,000 restricted common shares and 2,500,000 free trading shares.

Shareholder’s name: e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd.

On October 28, 2016, every one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Corporation issued and outstanding was automatically reclassified and changed into twenty (20) shares fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $.0001 per share. (“20-for-1 Forward Stock Split”) No fractional shares were issued. The authorized number of shares, and par value per share, of Common Stock are not affected by the 20-for-1 Forward Stock Split.

On October 28, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State. The effective date of the 20-for-1 Forward Stock Split was upon the acceptance of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment can be found as Exhibit 3.1 to Form 8-K filed November 1, 2016.

Business Information of School TV

The Company is a start-up stage company and concentrates on the selling and distribution of health related products to customers in Japan through School TV which is our wholly owned subsidiary. 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1-2-38-8F, Esaka-cho, Suita-shi, Osaka 564-0063, Japan. Our phone number is +81-6-6339-4117.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our cash balance is $19,348 as of December 31, 2016. Our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any period of time. We have been utilizing and may utilize funds from Tomoo Yoshida, our sole Director who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for filing fees, and professional fees. Tomoo Yoshida, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we require further funding. Being a start-up stage company, we have very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing.

As of December 31, 2016, the company have a related-party payable in the amount of $153,248 to Tomoo Yoshida, our sole officer and director.

If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need, or cease operations entirely.

Inventory

As of December 31, 2016, we have $88,803 in inventory which is made up of various health related products that we intend to sell out. Any purchase of goods from our direct supply of inventory will be sent out to the purchaser and we will be responsible for any shipping or related costs.

Net Loss

We recorded a net loss of $11,701 and $4,196 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net loss is attributed to increase in operating expenses.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis of accounting assuming that the Company is a going concern that contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is considered a start-up company and suffered from reoccurring losses, negative working capital of $37,497, and negative cash flows from operation of $14,863  as of December 31, 2016 and for the three months then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue-producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2016, the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, with the participation of our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to material weaknesses identified below. 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: domination of management by a limited individuals without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, lack of well-established procedures to identify, approve and report related party transactions, and lack of an audit committee. These material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the above annual evaluation.

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred for the three months ending December 31, 2016, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
