NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2021

(UNAUDITED)

 

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

 

Exceed World, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 25, 2014.

 

On September 26, 2018, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. (“e-Learning”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Force International Holdings Limited, which was incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability (“Force Holdings”), entered into a share purchase agreement with Force Internationale Limited (“Force Internationale”), the holding company of Force Holdings, in which e-Learning agreed to sell and Force Internationale agreed to purchase 74.5% equity interest of the Company at a consideration of $26,000.

 

On September 26, 2018, the same date, Force Internationale entered into a share purchase agreement with the Company, in which Force Internationale agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase 100% equity interest of Force Holdings. In consideration of the agreement, the Company issued 12,700,000 common stock at US$1 each to Force Internationale. The results of these transactions are that Force Internationale is an 84.4% owner of the Company and the Company is a 100% owner of Force Holdings.

 

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into a share contribution agreement with Force Internationale. Under this agreement, the Company transferred 100% of the equity interest of School TV Co., Ltd. ("School TV"), to Force Internationale without consideration. This agreement was approved by the board of directors of the Company, Force Internationale and School TV. Upon the completion of the disposal, School TV was deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company operates through our wholly owned subsidiaries, which are engaged in provision of the educational services through an internet platform called “Force Club”.

 

The Company has elected September 30th as its fiscal year end.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). 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 year ended September 30, 2020, included in our Form 10-K.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

  

USE OF ESTIMATES  

 

The presentation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses reported in those financial statements. Certain significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to valuation allowance on deferred income tax, write-down in value of inventory, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets and legal contingencies. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and subject to change. Due to the high uncertainty of the evolving situation, the Company has limited visibility on the full impact brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related financial impact cannot be estimated at this time. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.

 

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.

 

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.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 

 

The Company maintains its books and records in its local currencies, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and the United States Dollars (“US$”), which are the functional currencies as being the primary currencies of the economic environment in which their operations are 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is 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. Shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rate at the time of transaction. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

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

 

  June 30, 2021   June 30, 2020
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate 110.58   107.92
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate 106.69   108.40
       
Current HK$: US$1 exchange rate 7.80   7.80
Average HK$: US$1 exchange rate 7.80   7.80

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company operates and manages multilevel marketing (“MLM”) in operating its businesses as the Force Club Membership and generates revenues primarily by providing the rights to access the Company’s educational content and to recruit new members.

 

The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products or services.

 

- Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

- Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

- Determination of the transaction price

- Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

- Recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation

 

Force Club Membership fee

 

Nature of operation

 

Our revenue generated from Force Club Membership arrangements accounted for substantially all of our revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Generally, the Company grants Force Club members the rights to access the Company’s educational content. There are two tiers of members, namely standard members and premium members.

 

The premium members are granted full access to the Company’s educational content and the right to recruit prospect customers to become the Company’s members. Each premium member needs to purchase a premium pack, containing promotional materials aiding the recruiting process, from the Company. The standard members are granted limited access to the Company’s educational content.

 

Revenue from the premium pack is recognized at a point in time upon delivery. Revenue from the right to access the Company’s educational content is recognized over a period of time ratably over the effective period.

 

The Company's chief operating decision maker reviews results analyzed by customers and the analysis is only presented at the revenue level with no allocation of direct or indirect costs. The Company determines that it has only one operating segment. Consequently, the Company does not disaggregate revenue recognized from contracts with customers. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue was generated in Japan.

 

Contract asset and liability

 

Deferred income is recorded when consideration is received from a member prior to the goods were delivered or the access was granted. As of June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, the Company's deferred income was $1,389,782 and $3,571,723 respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3,571,723 of deferred income in the opening balance.

 

The Company does not have any contract asset.

  

OPERATING LEASES

 

The Company recognizes its leases in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases. Under ASC 842, lessees are required to recognize all qualified operating leases at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The initial lease liability is equal to the future fixed minimum lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, on a secured basis. The lease term includes option renewal periods and early termination payments when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those rights. The initial measurement of the ROU asset is equal to the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs and prepayments, less any lease incentives.

 

The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of underlying assets and the short-term lease exemption for contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and did not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methodologies into three levels:

 

Level 1:   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.      

 

Level 2:   Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.    

 

Level 3:   Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective October 1, 2020 and determined that the adoption had no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

  

The Company considers the carrying amount of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income tax recoverable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, income tax payable, contingency liabilities, deferred income, accrued expenses and other payables, other current liabilities and current portion of operating and finance lease obligations approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 owing to their short-term or present value nature or present value of the assets and liabilities.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation.

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings in the course of conducting the business related to Force Club Membership and, from time to time, the Company may become involved in additional claims and lawsuits incidental to the businesses. The Company’s legal counsel and management routinely assess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses; to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. Accruals are recorded for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonable estimable.

 

In the opinion of management, appropriate and adequate accruals for legal matters have been made, and management believes that the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued is remote. Nevertheless, the Company cannot predict the impact of future developments affecting our pending or future claims and lawsuits. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred, and all recorded legal liabilities are adjusted as required as better information becomes available to the Company. The factors the Company considers when recording an accrual for contingencies include, among others: (i) the opinions and views of the Company’s legal counsel; (ii) the Company’s previous experience; and (iii) the decision of our management as to how we intend to respond to the complaints. 

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company has settled seven cases related to the cancellation of contracts with the amount of approximately JPY18.3 million (approximately $172,000). As of filing date, the Company had 19 pending legal cases, claiming a damage of approximately JPY114.4 million (approximately $1,000,000) under the same nature, and the Company’s legal counsel estimated a probable settlement for these cases with total settlement amount of approximately JPY42.3 million (approximately $382,000). The Company accrued a total liability of JPY42.3 million (approximately $382,000) as of June 30, 2021 for pending legal cases as of filing date.

 

NOTE 10 - CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD INFORMATION

 

During the review of the Company’s financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company identified an error in the presentation of inventories and cost of revenues in the financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 due to an input error of inventory in the accounting data. The inventories should have been $770,931 but was stated as $319,301 as of March 31, 2021, and the cost of revenues should have been $1,997,755 and $7,267,151 but was stated as $2,472,679 and $7,742,075 for the three and six months ended March 31,2021 respectively, resulting in adjustments to the previous reported financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021. In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (SAB 99 and SAB 108), the Company evaluated this error and, based on analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error was immaterial to the prior reporting period. However, if the adjustments to correct the cumulative effect of the above error had been recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company believed the impact would have been material and would impact comparison to the prior period. Therefore, as permitted by SAB108, the Company corrected, in the current filing, the previously reported results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

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 with e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“e-Learning”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. DeNunzio transferred to e-Learning, 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.

Business Information

 

As of June 30, 2021, we operate through our wholly owned subsidiaries, which are engaged in provision of the educational services through an internet platform called “Force Club”.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1-1-36, 1-23-38-6F, Esaka-cho, Suita-shi, Osaka 564-0063, Japan. Our phone number is +81-6-6339-4177.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

As of June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $19,918,994 and $19,370,086, respectively. Currently, our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations without the need for additional funding.

 

Revenues

 

We recorded revenue of $4,570,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as opposed to $3,908,965 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded revenue of $19,726,053 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as opposed to $15,087,491 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue, in our opinion, is attributed to an increase in membership fee income from premium Force Club members.

 

Net Income

 

We recorded net loss of $217,804 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as opposed to net loss of $549,715 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net loss is attributed to increase in revenues. We recorded net income of $1,994,960 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as opposed to net loss of $1,479,960 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income is attributed to an increase in revenues and decrease in operating expenses.

 

Cash flow

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 we had cash flows from operations in the amount of $1,677,218. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $3,451,173. The increase in operating cash flow, in our opinion, is mainly attributed to the increase in net income, change in fair value of marketable securities, offset by the cash outflow of increase in prepaid expense, and decrease in cash inflow from deferred income.

 

Working capital

 

As of June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, we had working capital of $15,415,805 and $14,083,699, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distributions expenses. Advertising expenses were $480,283 and $175,718 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, advertising expenses were $657,186 and 798,438, respectively.

 

Advertising expenses were comprised of, but not limited to, sales events hosted for sales agents, exhibitions to promote and display company product offerings, signboards, and public relations activities.

 

Future Plans

 

Over the course of the next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on expanding its sales network in order to strengthen its business activities. Currently, revenue is derived primarily from sales of the Company’s Force Club premium package. While it is the intention of the Company to maintain this revenue stream, and to further increase the number of premium users of the Force Club, the Company also intends to diversify its operations and develop additional business activities.

 

In order to do so, the Company intends to focus on development of an online educational platform on which additional advertising income can be generated. At present, there are no definitive plans that have been made regarding the implementation or direction of this future online educational platform. However, we intend to begin efforts to hire additional personnel with extensive experience in web marketing in order to assist in the development of our future platform.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In the Company’s financial year of 2020, the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) significantly affected economy in Japan, where the Company mainly operates its business. Since the end of 2020, the third wave of Covid-19 has spread in Japan, and business activities continue to be restricted. The Company implemented some measures to prevent infection including shortening business hours and restricting movements of employees. Our Force Club Members’ activities, which is our main sales resources, have also been limited due to travel restrictions and social distance rules implemented nationwide and globally. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s business operations, financial condition and operating results for 2021, including but not limited to material negative impact to the Company’s total revenues.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 June 30, 2021, 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 single individual without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, 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 ended June 30, 2021, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
