PART I.

ITEM 1. Description of the Business

Our Company

Background

On January 18, 2016, we completed and closed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) under a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) of the same date among us, Vitaxel SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“Vitaxel”), the shareholders of Vitaxel, Vitaxel Online Mall SBN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“Vionmall”) and the shareholders of Vionmall pursuant to which Vitaxel and Vionmall each became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we exchanged 3,499,125,000 shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding capital stock of Vitaxel and exchanged 499,875,000 shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding capital stock of Vionmall with the result that both Vitaxel and Vionmall became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange, we acquired the business of Vitaxel to engage in the direct selling of products and services utilizing a multi-level marketing model with an emphasis on travel, entertainment and lifestyle products and services and the business of Vionmall to develop online shopping platforms geared to Vitaxel and its members and the third party suppliers of products and services.

On January 6, 2016, the holder (the “Majority Stockholder”) of approximately 78.43% of the voting power of outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, approved by written consent, in accordance with Nevada law, Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) which, among other things (i) changed our name from “Albero, Corp.” to “Vitaxel Group Limited” (the “Name Change”) and (ii) increased our number of authorized shares of capital stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share to 7,100,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 7,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share and (b) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Share Increase”). The Restated Articles, including the Name Change and the Share Increase, and their execution and filing were authorized by the sole member of our Board of Directors on December 21, 2015.

On January 8, 2015, we filed the Restated Articles with the Nevada Secretary of State to effectuate, among other things, the Name Change and the Share Increase.

On January 27, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a 1333-for-1 forward stock split of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.000001 per share in the form of a dividend (the “Stock Split”) with a record date of February 8, 2016 (the “Record Date”). On February 22, 2016, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) notified us of its announcement of the payment date of the Stock Split as February 23, 2016 (the “Payment Date”). On the Payment Date, as a result of the Stock split, each holder of our common stock as of the Record Date received 1332 additional shares of our common stock for each one share owned, rounded up to the nearest whole share. All common stock share amounts referenced in this Annual Report give retroactive effect to the Stock Split.

On January 27, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a change of our fiscal year end from October 31 of each year to December 31 of each year. December 31 is also the fiscal year end for each of Vitaxel and Vionmall.

Our Current Business, Markets and Strategy

We are a global direct selling, multi-level marketing (“MLM”) company offering travel, entertainment, lifestyle and other products and services principally through electronic commerce commonly referred to as e-commerce. Through Vionmall, which went live in January 2016 for Vitaxel members and April 2016 for general public, we employ online shopping web sites for retail sales direct to consumers. We do not develop or manufacture the products and services which we offer. Our principal offices are located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At December 31, 2016, all of our operations, including sales transactions, were based and completed in Malaysia although we had members in three other Asian countries. More than half of our members reside in Malaysia and approximately 21% of our members reside in Singapore. We provide our members with training which includes prospecting and closing skills, plan orientation, back-office training, network management, personal and leadership development and team-building activities.

Unlike the traditional MLM business model where most of the business model concentrates on particular products and/or services, our business model allows our members to own a sub-domain through Vionmall where they can promote their own products and services (separate from our products and services). We believe that this model is the first of its kind in Asia.

We strive to differentiate ourselves through innovation in both our product and service offerings and our sales channels. Consumers can purchase our products and services either directly from our members or directly from our online platform. Our products and services are listed on our website and customers can easily purchase them online. Our members need not carry our products physically to their customers, they only need to promote our products through word of mouth or show prospective customers our list of products online through computers or smart-phones. During the year ended December 31, 2016, our revenues were primarily attributable to the sale of Vitaxel product packages.

Our Vitaxel packages include product points (which are exchangeable for tour and travel products or travel kits). Since we are relatively new to the market, our initial strategy has been to promote our brand awareness by encouraging more people to become members. In furtherance thereof, to date all membership fees have been waived. Persons that purchase our product packages will automatically become members.

In furtherance of our membership benefits program, on November 1, 2015 Vitaxel entered into a Travel Agency Services Contract (the “Contract”) with Ho Wah Genting Holiday SDN BHD (“HWGH”), a travel agency specializing in providing tour packages, hotel bookings, arranging transportation and event ticket services. Pursuant thereto, HWGH provides services to Vitaxel’s members. The Contract has a term of 2 years and continues automatically for additional one year periods. After the first year, either party may terminate the Contract by providing the other party with 2 months’ advance notice of termination. Lim Chun Hoo, a director of HWGH is the brother of Lim Wee Kiat, our Chairman and Secretary and the son of Dato Lim Hui Boon, our President. Lim Wee Kiat is also an executive director of Ho Wah Genting Berhad, a shareholder of HWGH.

On August 6, 2016, we entered into a License Agreement with Vitaxel Private Limited, a limited liability entity and incorporated in Taiwan. Pursuant to this agreement, we granted Vitaxel Private Limited an exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our trademarks, brands, logos or service marks to market and operate our business and commercialize our online shopping and service platforms, including but not limited to Vionmall in Taiwan. The term of this agreement is three years with a possibility of renewal for another three years. We and or our subsidiaries will have the right of first refusal to acquire Vitaxel Private Limited if its shareholders decide to dispose its assets or the company.

Vitaxel Private Limited is in charge of all initial costs of setting up its business in Taiwan. Vitaxel Private Limited shall pay us a revenue share of 70% of the net profits for every three month period. Each such royalty payment is due on the tenth day of every fourth months and shall be paid in U.S. currency and accompanied by a report of calculation of the net profits.

On August 15, 2016, we entered into a License Agreement with Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd., a limited liability entity and incorporated in Thailand, as amended on August 21, 2016 to, among other things, extend the term from three years with a three-year renewal term to 10 years with a 10-year renewal term. Pursuant to this agreement, we granted Vitaxel Corp. (Thailand) Ltd. an exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our trademarks, brands, logos or service marks to market and operate our business and commercialize our online shopping and service platforms, including but not limited to our online shopping mall known as “Vionmall”, in Thailand. We and or our subsidiaries will have the right of first refusal to acquire Vitaxel Corp. (Thailand) Ltd. if its shareholders decide to dispose its assets or company. Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd. is in charge of all initial costs of setting up our business in Thailand. Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd. shall pay us a revenue share of 70% of the net profits for every three- month period. Each such royalty payment is due on the tenth day of every fourth month and shall be paid in U.S. currency and accompanied by a report of calculation of the net profits. We have the following material relationships with Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd.: (i) we own 48% of Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd’s issued and outstanding shares; (ii) our Secretary and Chairman, Lim Wee Kiat, and one of its directors, Leong Yee Ming, each own one share, or 0.00005% of Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd’s issued and outstanding shares, and hold positions on Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd’s Board of Directors; and (iii) our President, Dato Lim Hui Boon, owns 200 shares, or 1.0% of Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd’s issued and outstanding shares, and is a member of Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd.’s Board of Directors.

Our initial Vitaxel products have not generated material demand. This has resulted in marginal purchases of our existing Vitaxel products. However, following our research and surveys conducted on the preferences of our members, we have re-packaged and expanded our product packages and the method of selling these products to our members and our customers. This strategy lead to the formation of Vionmall.

With the introduction of Vionmall, our revenue component has been divided into three categories as follows:

We believe that the Malaysian and other Asian direct selling markets hold significant potential. Our results, as reported in U.S. dollars will be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations as well as global economic, political, demographic and business trends and conditions.

To create brand awareness and to keep our members fully informed as to our products and services, and policies and procedures, we designate certain members to be team leaders. Team leaders promote our membership requirements and products and services through word of mouth, home parties, private previews and training. As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately 200 team leaders, approximately 121 of which were located in Malaysia. Our team leaders are independent contractors and do not receive salaries. They work on a commission basis tied to the revenue generated from product sales. The team leaders promote our products via the methods referenced above. Apart from this, they are required to assist our management to conduct surveys and research on our prospective customers and members’ needs and behaviors. To do this, the team leaders have meetings and discussions among themselves from time to time. Our obligation to the team leaders is to provide support, inform and advise as to the availability of new products, make payment (commission) on time and ensure that the team leaders understand our objective and mission so that they provide the correct message to our members and customers.

We acquire the products and services which we offer and sell from third parties. Although, we initially intend to primarily offer and sell products related to travel, entertainment and lifestyle, we are not limited to those areas and may sell unrelated products and services as long as these products and services will benefit our members and customers in a manner consistent with our objectives and mission.

As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately 6,318 members, with approximately 4,181 members in Malaysia, approximately 1,164 members in Singapore and approximately 773 members in Thailand. Vitaxel’s members include approximately 851 Distributors, 2023 Supervisors, 72 Managers, 41 Directors, 1,988 Senior Directors, 158 Global Directors, 89 Sapphire Global Directors, 66 Ruby Global Directors, 14 Emerald Global Directors, 6 Diamond Global Directors and 10 Black Diamond Global Directors.

People become members for a number of reasons. Some join simply to receive a wholesale price on products and services that they and their families can enjoy. Some join to earn part-time money, wanting to give direct sales a try, whereas others are drawn to us because they can be their own boss and can earn rewards on their own skills and hard work. In addition to discounted prices, members can earn income from several sources. Members may earn income by selling our products and services and their own products and services. The allocation of proceeds from the sales of members’ products and services is similar to the allocation process for independent suppliers of products and services. Suppliers determine the minimum amount they wish to receive, the retail price to consumers is then negotiated between us and the supplier and we retain the difference as profit. Also, members who sponsor other members may earn commissions and bonuses based upon their sponsored members’ performance.

As of December 31, 2016, we have expanded our network member base into approximately 18 Asian countries While sales within our local markets may fluctuate due to economic, market and regulatory conditions, competitive pressures, political and social instability or for Company-specific reasons, we believe that our geographic diversity and intended further geographic diversity mitigates and will continue to mitigate our exposure to any one particular market.

We intend to continue to engage team leaders within each country in Asia in which we offer and sell our products to lead and promote our products. Since we have already established our name in certain of the Asian counties, we will continue to expand in those countries by providing more benefits to the team leaders, more attractive products through our Vionmall portal, further training and motivation talks, better information technology structure and enhance support systems.

To become a member, a person must purchase a member package. Member packages include products and points that carry a value that approximates the package price. The packages do not come with a membership fees because membership fees are exempted for the first year (that is when members purchase the package, membership fees are waived for the first 12 months). We only collect the membership fees from the second year onwards. Each member package is available in English and Chinese and typically includes booklets describing us, our compensation plan and rules of member conduct, various training and promotional materials, member applications and a product and services catalog. The price of a member package varies by package type and provides a low cost entry for incoming members.

Competition

The categories of travel, entertainment and lifestyle products and services are very competitive and are available through many channels including those of direct selling and the Internet. We try to differentiate ourselves from our competitors through our member focus on the consultative and educational nature of the sales process and the contact that our members have with their customers.

We are subject to competition for the recruitment of members from other network marketing organizations, including those that market similar products and services as well as other types of products and services. Our ability to remain competitive depends on having relevant products that meet consumer needs, a rewarding compensation plan, and a financially viable company.

As a company, we believe that the direct selling channel is an effective way to sell our products and services. We believe that the direct-selling channel is ideally suited to marketing our products and services because demand for travel, entertainment and lifestyle products and services is strengthened by ongoing personal contact and education between members and their customers. In addition, our members consume our products and services themselves, and therefore can provide first-hand testimonials about our products and services, which can serve as a powerful sales tool.

We believe our business model enables us to grow our business with moderate investment in our infrastructure and fixed costs. We incur no direct incremental cost to add a new member in our existing markets or add additional products and services to our product and service mix, and our member compensation varies directly with sales. Furthermore, we can readily increase production and distribution of our products and services as a result of having access to numerous third party relationships.

Patents and Trademarks

We have applied for registration for our major trademark, Live Better, in Malaysia (5 applications), Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Cambodia, Laos and Taiwan. To date, all of the applications Malaysia and six other applications have been approved. We have also filed trademark registrations for our V device mark in all the countries stated above and also in the United States of America. To date, this trademark has been approved in Macau, Myanmar, Singapore and Tawaiwan and the others are pending only three are pending. We consider trademark protection to be important to our business.

Government and Industry Regulation

Many countries have either implemented new laws or made revisions to existing laws on direct selling in the last decade. Both developed and developing economies have realized the potential of the direct selling industry in light of the positive socio-economic impact of this sector – both directly and indirectly.

Along with the primary objective of regulating various fraudulent schemes, these countries have also enacted specific legislations largely self-monitored by local associations. Globally, these regulations relating to direct selling industry vary from country to country. Certain countries, including Malaysia, have enacted specific anti-pyramid laws to deal with frauds and abusive schemes, however, through specific regulations, they distinguish permissible MLM operations by direct selling companies. On the other hand, some countries primarily focus on consumer protection and strive to identify fraudulent schemes.

The substantive provisions governing direct selling businesses in various countries are founded on similar principles such as drafting a precise definition of direct selling business, pre-licensing of direct selling company, registration of direct sellers, stipulations governing activities and rewards/bonuses received by direct sellers, bans on entry fees, extensive buy-back policies and related matters.

The global level, direct selling industry self –regulates itself to maintain high levels of probity, integrity, corporate governance and consumer protection standards. Multiple direct selling companies from across the world have also joined forces to form direct selling associations which promote ethical business practices and prescribe a detailed code of ethics for the members, its sales representatives and customers. The code of conduct is a self –regulatory standard which regulates the varying interactions across the spectrum of direct sales that often exceeds local legal requirements.

The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (“WFDSA”) is a non-governmental, voluntary organization globally representing the direct selling industry as a Federation of 60 national Direct Selling Associations (“DSA’s”) and one regional DSA – Federation of European DSA (Seldia). The “World Selling Code of Conduct” (‘the Code’) was published by the WFDSA for National DSA members. This Code establishes a standard framework for interaction between direct selling member companies, their direct sellers and consumers. The Code is a constantly evolving cornerstone of the direct selling industry’s commitment to ethical business practices and customer service. It is a mechanism that helps ensure that independent salespeople and customers are treated fairly and respectfully.

In order for a DSA to become a member of WFDSA, it must adopt the minimum standards set forth by the Code to the extent the requirements are consistent with the law in each particular country. Every DSA member company pledges to abide by the Code’s standards and procedures as a condition of admission and continued membership in a DSA. These Code of Ethics are enforced by an independent code administrator who is not connected with any member company. The code administrator will do everything possible to ensure Code compliance and where complaints exist, has the power to decide on remedies. All member companies agree to honor the administrator’s decisions. Broadly, the Code seeks to capture various aspects of a direct selling business which need to be regulated including use of misleading testimonials, misrepresentation of actual or potential earning claims or use of any exploitative and deceptive recruitment practices.

The entire Code has been classified into three sections containing regulations in respect of:

Further, to help ensure legal compliance, the Code provides that new memberships should not be subject to significant monetary commitment either by way of entrance fees, training fees, purchases of sales kits or inventory loading. The companies take responsibility for consumer protection through provision of accurate information, product warranty and buyback offers. It ensures that member companies implement adequate mechanisms to address customer complaints with respect to their products and/or its sales representatives.

The Code is a self-regulation and not a law, therefore, does not restate all legal obligations. Compliance with local laws pertaining to direct selling by National DSA’s is a condition of acceptance by or continuance of membership in DSA. The Code also has a provision for an extra-territorial effect wherein every national DSA pledges that it will require each member to comply with the WFDSA World Codes of Conduct for Direct Selling with regard to direct selling activities outside of its home country, unless those activities are under the jurisdiction of Codes of Conduct of another country’s DSA to which the member also belongs.

Malaysia is a member of the WFDSA and has drafted a standard code of ethics for companies engaged in direct selling activities.

Regulations in Malaysia

In 1978, the Direct Selling Association of Malaysia was founded to promote the direct selling industry on a national and international level, as well as act as the de facto voice of the industry. Malaysia’s strong belief in business without borders and that direct selling is a source of empowerment of people across the globe, led to the enactment of an extensive legal regime governing business activities of direct selling companies in the form of the Direct Sales Act, 1993.

Over the years, the success of direct selling companies in Malaysia was accompanied by the rise of fraudulent activities such as pyramid and Ponzi schemes. In 2011, Malaysia amended the existing statute to rename it as the ‘Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act (the “DSAPSA”). The key objectives of amending the existing law were to incorporate specific provisions governing sales achieved through electronic medium and regulations on legitimate multilevel marketing.

The DSAPSA provides for:

All door-to door sales and mail order selling (including selling by telephone) in Malaysia are subject to the DSAPSA which sets forth the conditions under which business may be conducted, defines requirements of direct sales contracts, identifies conditions under which licenses may not be granted or revoked and the punishment for fraud. The DSAPSA also provides for a cooling-off period of 10 days after the date of making a direct sales contract. The regulating authority is the ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumers Affairs.

The DSAPSA also stipulates that any person negotiating a door-to door sale will have to produce an identification card and authority card. This protects consumers from fraudulent schemes. In Malaysia, direct sellers are treated as independent contractors. The following types of marketing plans are presently covered under the provisions of the DSAPSA:

There is no prohibition on the sales of specific products. However, direct selling companies wanting to introduce new products must seek prior approval from the relevant authority before distributing the products. Also, all health products must be registered with the Drug Control Authority, Ministry of Health, before they can be sold through this mode.

The Direct Selling Association of Malaysia (“DSAM”)

The DSAM functions at the societal level to create and maintain an environment that is conductive to the growth and stability of the direct selling industry in Malaysia. Established in 1978 as a national trade association, it is led by a President and Vice-President and 7 committee members, all of whom are elected by member companies. In addition to the cooperation extended by member companies, the DSAM works closely with the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives & Consumerism, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, other government bodies and trade associations to achieve common goals. The DSAM Code of Conduct is an example of self-regulation. It is a strict and effective code of conduct implemented worldwide, and endorsed by the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives & Consumerism.

Research and Development Activities

Other than time spent researching our business and proposed markets, the not spent any funds on research and development activities to date. In the event opportunities arise from our operations, we may elect to initiate research and development activities, but we have no plans for any activities to date.

Environmental Laws

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we have 29 full time employees, all of which are located in Malaysia. These numbers do not include our members, who are independent contractors. None of these employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe our relationship with our employees is good to excellent.

As described below, incentive awards authorized under the 2016 Plan include, but are not limited to, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If an incentive award granted under the 2016 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with the exercise of an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2016 Plan.

The number of shares of our Common Stock subject to the 2016 Plan, any number of shares subject to any numerical limit in the 2016 Plan, to the terms of any incentive award or to any combination of the foregoing, is expected to be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding our Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, Share Exchange, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

Administration

The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2016 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, the compensation committee or the Board has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms upon which awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan.

Grants

The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant to participants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and stock appreciation rights, as described below:

Duration, Amendment, and Termination

The Board has the power to amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders within one year of such change. Unless sooner terminated, the 2016 Plan would terminate ten years after it is adopted.

As of the date hereof, 310,029,000 shares of Restricted Stock (as defined in the 2016 Plan) have been issued under the 2016 Plan.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this Report. The management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, from engaging in the horse breeding business to the business of a global direct selling, multi-level marketing company offering travel, entertainment, lifestyle and other products and services, a discussion of the past financial results of Vitaxel Group Limited is not pertinent, and under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the historical financial results of VXEL, the accounting acquirers, prior to the Share Exchange are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

The following discussion highlights Vitaxel Group Limited’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis is based on Vitaxel Group Limited’s audited financial statements contained in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Basis of Presentation

The audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated results of operations for such periods have been included in these audited consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Overview

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of VXEL for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related notes thereto.

For the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015

Revenue

We recognized revenue of $1,865,789 and $2,780,021 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was attributable to a decrease in our sales due to fewer customers in 2016 compared to 2015.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,226,851 compared to $2,686,232 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2016 was due to the decrease of revenue and procurement cost control. Unit purchase prices decreased as procurement scale increased during 2016 as compared to 2015.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $638,938, compared to $93,789 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The improvement was primarily attributable to the change of commission plan since beginning of 2016 which reduced the cost of revenue. The more effective cost control was achieved by lower percentage of commission offered to the customer.

Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $1,666,089, composed of selling expenses of $2,152 and general and administrative expenses totaling $1,663,937. While, for the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $779,820, which was composed of selling expenses of $6,319 and general and administrative expenses totaling $773,501. Despite the decrease of $4,167, or 65.94% for the selling expenses, the increase of $890,436, or 115.12% for the administrative expenses, caused total operating expenses to increase by $886,269, or 113.65%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of $105,432. During the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities totaled $814,827. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $108,977. Net cash generated from financing activities during the period totaled $678,358. The resulting change in cash for the period was a decrease of $198,362, which was primarily due to cash used in other payable, commission payables and purchase of property, plant and equipment.

As of December 31, 2015, we had a cash balance of $303,794. During the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash generated from operating activities totaled $757,876. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $84,595. Net cash used in financing activities during the period totaled $555,483. The resulting change in cash for the period was an increase of $274,570, which was primarily due to cash from related parties, commission payables, and other payables.

As of December 31, 2016, we had current liabilities of $1,482,111, which was composed of amount due to related parties of $632,239, amount due to an associated company of $279,219, other payable of $446,487, commission payables of $115,915 and account payable of $8,251.

As of December 31, 2015, we had current liabilities of $1,523,484, which was composed of amounts due to a related party of $233,100, commission payables of $537,655, tax payable of $17,586 and accruals and other payables of $735,143.

We had net liabilities of $1,066,596 and $1,039,331 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

We have incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $2,639,138 as of December 31, 2016, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These risk factors include, but are not limited to our ability to raise additional funding and the results of our proposed operations.

Going Concern Consideration

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported a net loss of $905,505 and working capital deficit of $1,261,265. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,639,138 as of December 31, 2016 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and/or private placement of common stock. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as the term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our December 31, 2016 financial statements included in our Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2016. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Table of Contents

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vitaxel Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016. Vitaxel Group Limited’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Vitaxel Group Limited as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency and accumulated deficit from recurring net losses as of December 31, 2016. All these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Vitaxel SDN BHD ("Vitaxel"), was incorporated in Malaysia on August 10, 2012. The Company is primarily engaged in the direct selling industry utilizing a multi-level marketing model with an emphasis on travel, entertainment and lifestyle products and services.

Vitaxel Online Mall SDN BHD ("Vionmall"), was incorporated in Malaysia on September 22, 2015. The Company is primarily in developing online shopping platforms geared to Vitaxel and its members and the third-party suppliers of products and services.

Vitaxel Singapore PTE. Ltd. (“Vitaxel Singapore”) was incorporated in Singapore on February 16, 2016.

REVERSE ACQUISITION

On January 18, 2016, the Company completed and closed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) under a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) of the same date among us, Vitaxel SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“Vitaxel”), the shareholders of Vitaxel, Vitaxel Online Mall SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“Vionmall”) and the shareholders of Vionmall pursuant to which Vitaxel and Vionmall each became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. In the Share Exchange, all of the outstanding shares of Vitaxel and Vionmall were converted into shares of our Common Stock.

In connection with the Share Exchange and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Share Exchange assets and liabilities of our former horse breeding business to our pre-Share Exchange majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by him and cancellation of 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

As a result of the Share Exchange and Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Share Exchange business and acquired the businesses of Vitaxel and Vionmall, and will continue the existing business operations of Vitaxel and Vionmall as a publicly-traded company under the name Vitaxel Group Limited.

In accordance with “reverse acquisition” accounting treatment, our historical financial statements as of period ends, and for periods ended, prior to the acquisition will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Vitaxel and Vionmall prior to the Share Exchange in all future filings with the SEC.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Fiscal year end is December 31.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The functional currency of the Company is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) and reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar “USD”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into USD using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of shareholders' equity.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not write off any accounts receivable as bad debts.

Fair value of financial instruments

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, none of the Company’s assets and liabilities was required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables, payables and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a weighted-average method, and not to exceed net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory balances for obsolete amounts estimated on an individual basis for the finished goods and the raw material items with large amounts, and by a category basis for low value raw material items.

Long-term investment

On April 20, 2016, the Company invested 959,800 Thai Baht or $27,539 to Vitaxel Corporation Thailand Co., Ltd., a company registered in Thailand, and hold 47.99% shares of it. The long-term investment is accounted using in equity method.

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Revenue recognition

Product sales − The Company generally recognizes revenue upon delivery and when both the title and risk and rewards pass to the independent members or purchasers of the products. Product sales are recognized net of product returns, discounts and taxes. A reserve for product returns is accrued based on historical experience. There was no deferred revenue accrued as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Membership fee − The Company recognizes the membership fee revenue over the term of the membership, which is 12 months. The revenue will not be recognized until the 10 days cooling-off period is expired. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, all membership fees were waived by the Company for promotion purpose.

Loyalty program

The Company operates loyalty program which allows customer to accumulate redemption points when they purchase products from the Company. The redemption points can be used to purchase a selection of products at discounted price or redeem products.

The Company allocates consideration received from the sale of goods to the goods sold and the redemption points issued that are expected to be redeemed.

The consideration allocated to the redemptions points issued is measured at fair value of the redemption points. It is recognized as a liability (deferred revenue) in the statement of financial position and recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed, have expired or are no longer expected to be redeemed. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the number of points that have been redeemed, relative to the number expected to redeem.

Commission expense

Commission expense incurred by the Company is recognized as cost of revenue and as a liability (commission payable in the consolidated balance sheet. Commission expense is not recoverable once recognized and is expensed as incurred

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the combined financial statements.Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes are classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax positions or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expense as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Forward Stock split

On January 27, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a 1333-for-1 forward stock split of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.000001 per share in the form of a dividend (the “Stock Split”) with a record date of February 8, 2016 (the “Record Date”). On February 22, 2016, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) notified us of its announcement of the payment date of the Stock Split as February 23, 2016 (the “Payment Date”). On the Payment Date, as a result of the Stock split, each holder of our common stock as of the Record Date received 1332 additional shares of our common stock for each one share owned, rounded up to the nearest whole share. All common stock share amounts referenced in this Annual Report give retroactive effect to the Stock Split.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the Combined Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

Loss per share

The loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal years. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was no dilutive effect due to net loss.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Financial instrument: In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective fo fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on September 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-2”), which provides guidance on lease amendments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification. This ASU will be effective for us beginning in May 1, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-2on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice described above. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported a net loss of $905,505 and working capital deficit of $1,261,265. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,639,138 as of December 31, 2016 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the year ended December 31, 2016.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. These combined financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash flow from revenue and capital contributions from principal shareholders. In the event that we require additional funding to finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, our principal shareholders have indicated the intent and ability to provide additional equity financing.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet obligations as they become due and to obtain additional equity or alternative financing required to fund operations until sufficient sources of recurring revenues can be generated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans described above or in attracting equity or alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Other receivables and other assets consist of the following:

On April 20, 2016, the Company invested 959,800 Thai Baht or $27,539 to Vitaxel Corp. (Thailand) Ltd.,  a company registered in Thailand, and hold 47.99% shares of it. The long-term investment is accounted using the equity method.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Effective as of April 29, 2016, the Company dismissed KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of KLJ on April 29, 2016. The reports of KLJ on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and for the period November 19, 2013 (Inception) through October 31, 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and they were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such reports included a going concern qualification. During our fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period preceding their dismissal, there were no disagreements with KLJ, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KLJ, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on our financial statements.

On April 30, 2016, the Company engaged Centurion ZD CPA Limited (“CZD”) (previously named as DCAW (CPA) Limited) as our new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the interim periods preceding their engagement, and through the date of this Report, neither we nor anyone on our behalf has previously consulted with DCAW regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided nor oral advice was provided to us that DCAW concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).

This was reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2016. 

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Leong Yee Ming, our Chief Executive Officer, and Ng Kar Who, our Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our 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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

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

Our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in  Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  A material weakness, as defined by SEC rules, is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were identified are:

Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer believes that, as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.

This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” However, we believe that Kay Wong-Alafriz is an “independent” director as that term is defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ stock market and in SEC rules.

Family Relationships.

Except for the father and son relationship between Dato Lim Hui Boon, our President, and Lim Wee Kiat our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Secretary, there are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings.

There are no orders, judgments, or decrees of any governmental agency or administrator, or of any court of competent jurisdiction, revoking or suspending for cause any license, permit or other authority to engage in the securities business or in the sale of a particular security or temporarily or permanently restraining any of our officers or directors from engaging in or continuing any conduct, practice or employment in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, or convicting such person of any felony or misdemeanor involving a security, or any aspect of the securities business or of theft or of any felony. Nor are any of the officers or directors of any corporation or entity affiliated with us so enjoined.

Board Committees.

Our Board of Directors does not currently have a compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee because, due to the Board of Director’s composition and our relatively limited operations, the Board of Directors is able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by such committees. Our Board of Directors may undertake a review of the need for these committees in the future.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert.

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. We have no separate audit committee at this time. The entire Board of Directors oversees our audits and auditing procedures. Neither of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of SEC regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee

We have no separate compensation committee at this time. The entire Board of Directors oversees the functions which would be performed by a compensation committee.

Director independence

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” However, we believe that Kay Wong-Alafriz is an “independent” director as that term is defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ stock market and in SEC rules.
