VITAXEL GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In U.S. dollars)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS |
Vitaxel Group Limited (the “Company” or “Vitaxel”), incorporated in Nevada, is engaged in direct selling industry and online shopping platform primarily through its operating entities in Malaysia.
Vitaxel SDN BHD (“Vitaxel SB”), was incorporated in Malaysia on August 10, 2012 and 100% owned by the Company. It 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 Singapore PTE. Ltd. (“Vitaxel Singapore”) was incorporated in Singapore on February 16, 2016. This subsidiary was disposed on August 21, 2017.
2. | UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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”) for interim financial information under Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and foot notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those audited consolidated financial statements included in Form10-K.
In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present a fair statements of the financial position as of September 30, 2018, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets (“lessees”) to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. A lease liability is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This ASU leaves the accounting for the organizations that own the assets leased to the lessee (“lessor”) largely unchanged except for targeted improvements to align it with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
7
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
On May 10, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which provides guidance to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves fair value disclosure requirements by removing disclosures that are not cost beneficial, clarifying disclosures’ specific requirements and adding relevant disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted and an entity can choose to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and has not yet decided whether or not to early adopt the amendments.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers , the standard applies five step model (i) The standard applies to a company’s contracts with customers (ii) The unit of account for revenue recognition under the new standard is a performance obligation (a good or service) and the performance obligations will be accounted for separately if they are distinct (iii) The transaction price is determined based on the amount of consideration that a company expects to be entitled to from a customer (iv) The transaction price is allocated to all the separate performance obligations in an arrangement, and (v) Revenue will be recognized when an entity satisfies each performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time.
Product sales − The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies each performance obligation by transferring control of the goods 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 September 30, 2018.
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.
ASC was adopted January 1, 2018 and applied using the partial retrospective method. There was no impact from the adoption of ASC 606 on the Company’s accounting for revenue.
3. | GOING CONCERN |
These unaudited 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 period ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $1,794,073 and negative working capital of $3,813,065. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,870,547 as of September 30, 2018 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the years prior to September 30, 2018.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders or other capital sources. Management believes that the continuing financial support from the existing shareholders or external debt financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

registered in Thailand, and holds 47.99% shares of it. The long-term investment is accounted using the equity method.
The Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 2, 2018 to sell the all the total and outstanding shares of Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Co. Ltd. for total proceeds of $10,000. The disposal has been completed as of the date of this report.

(2) | During the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired 7,663,246 shares of common stock of Ho Wah Genting Group Limited (“HWGG”), which is listed on the U.S. OTC (Pink) Market (stock code: HWGG), for consideration of MYR2,466,993 (approximately US$638,786 as calculated at the date of transaction), from certain shareholders of HWGG. This resulted in ownership by the Company of approximately 1.53% of HWGG
The President of the Company, Dato’ Lim Hui Boon, is also the President of HWGG.
In the absence of active market participants and liquidity for HWGG stock based on the review of the trading history of this stock, management concluded that there is no active market for the stock. The Company does not rely on quoted market prices since the HWGG stock is highly illiquid and inactive and said prices are not necessarily indicative or representative of fair market value of HWGG stock. Thus the management deemed that the stock has no readily determinable fair value.
As of period ended September 30, 2018, the Company has carried the investment in HWGG at its cost minus impairment. |

ITEM 2. | 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. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.
The following discussion highlights the Company’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 statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on the Company’s unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read this discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “Company,” and “our” mean Vitaxel Group Limited and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
Overview; Recent Events
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.
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.
As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately 8,217 total members in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
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.
Termination of Legacy Transaction
The Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) effective December 15, 2017 with Lim Hui Sing and Leong Yee Ming (together, the “Sellers”) and Vitaxel SB (the “Purchaser”), as previously described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2017 as amended on January 3, 2018 and June 11, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Sellers were to sell to Purchaser all their shares of Grand Legacy, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“GL”), which would have resulted in the Company becoming the indirect owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of GL. The closing of the transaction was to occur upon completion of the financial statements of GL being audited and the issuance of 75,000,000 consideration shares to sellers within 30 days of shareholder approval of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing our capitalization.
On September 21, 2018, the Company received legal letter from the shareholders of GL declaring the agreement terminated, and alleged that the Company exceeded its allotted time to satisfy the closing conditions.
While the Company’ disagrees with GL’s assessment, as at date of this Report, the Company has not made a final determination as to what actions it will take, if any, or whether it would like to allow the foregoing transaction to terminate.
