NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS |
Vitaxel Group Limited (formerly Albero, Corp., the “Company”), incorporated in Nevada, is engaged in direct selling industry and online shopping platform primarily through its operating entities in Malaysia.
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. This subsidiary was disposed on August 21, 2017.
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 SBN 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, as described in more detail below.
In connection with the Share Exchange and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement, we transferred our pre-Share Exchange assets and liabilities 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.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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 Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
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
In the opinion of management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present a fair statements of the financial position as of March 31, 2018, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Fiscal year end is December 31.
7
Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited 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.
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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, none of the Company’s assets and liabilities was required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Security investment is valued at closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, 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.
In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted the ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10). Under the new ASC, entities no longer use the cost method of accounting as it was applied before, but it can elect a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the practical expedient in ASC 820 to estimate fair value using the NAV per share. After management’s assessment of each of the equity investments, management concluded that investments should be accounted for using measurement alternative. Under the alternative, the Company measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, and the Company has to make a separate election to use the alternative for each eligible investment and has to apply the alternative consistently from period to period until the investment’s fair value becomes readily determinable. ASU further requires that the Company should use prospective method for all equity investments without readily determinable fair values.
8
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted-average method. 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
Investment in associated Companies - The Company’s interests in associated companies are accounted for under equity method under U.S. GAAP. Under the equity method, if the Company’s share of losses of an associated company equals or exceeds the amount of investment plus advances made by the Company, the Company ordinarily discontinues including its share of losses and the investment is reported at nil value. If the associated company subsequently reports net income, the Company will resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.
Other long-term investments - The Company measures its equity securities without a readily determinable fair value that does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with paragraph 820-10-35-59 at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company shall reassess at each reporting period its equity securities on whether the equity investments qualify to be measured in accordance with paragraph 820-10-35-59.
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:
Office equipment | 10 years |
Computer equipment | 10 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 10 years |
Electircal & fitting | 10 years |
Motor vehicle | 10 years |
Softwarre and website | 10 years |
Leasehold improvement | 10 years |
Revenue recognition
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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
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 period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, all membership fees were waived by the Company for promotion purpose.
9
Commission expense
Commission expense incurred by the Company is recognized as cost of revenue and as a liability (commission payable in the unaudited 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.
U.S. Corporate Income Tax
The Company is subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income at a rate of up to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income of up to 35% for prior tax years. Recent U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”), was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The U.S. Tax Reform significantly modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump-sum payment. See Note 8 – Income Tax.
To the extent that portions of its U.S. taxable income, such as Subpart F income or global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, the Company may be able to claim foreign tax credits to offset its U.S. income tax liabilities. Any remaining liabilities are accrued in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income and estimated tax payments are made when required by U.S. law.
Uncertain Tax Positions
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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss includes net loss and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income and 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 period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no dilutive effect attributable to net loss.
10
Related party transactions
A related party is generally defined as:
(i) any person that holds the Company’s securities including such person’s 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.
(v) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity
(vi) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management
A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Financial instrument – Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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 January 1, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-2 on our consolidated financial statements.
The 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.
Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

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 March 31, 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $402,729 and negative working capital of $3,279,010. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,179,203 as of March 31, 2018 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the year period ended March 31, 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 consolidation 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.

(1) | On April 20, 2016, the Company invested 958,000 Thai Baht or $27,539 to Vitaxel Corporation Thailand Co., Ltd., a company registered in Thailand, and holds 47.99% shares of it. The long-term investment is accounted using the equity method. |
(2) | The President of the Company, Dato’ Lim Hui Boon, is also the President of Ho Wah Genting Group Limited. The relation are disclosed in note 9 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. |
During the period ended March 31, 2018, the Company has acquired 7,663,246 shares of common stock of Ho Wah Genting Group Limited, which is listed in U.S. OTC Market (stock code: HWGG), with consideration of $638,786 from the shareholders of HWGG.
In absence of active market participants and liquidity for Ho Wah Genting Group Limited stock based on the review of the trading history of this stock, the management concluded that there is no active market for the stock. A quoted market price in an inactive market is not representative of fair value of the stock. Thus the management deemed that the stock has no readily determinable fair value.
The Company has recognized the cost of the investment in Ho Wah Genting Group Limited at its cost of $638,786 and accounts for the investment as equity investments without readily determinable fair values. In view the acquisition of this investment was made during the period ended March 31, 2018, the management has assessed that there were no significant adverse changes affecting the value of the shares that will lead to impairment of the investment.

Balance at end of year | 54,087,903 | 54,087,903 |
(1) | The outstanding shares were adjusted retrospectively due to the reverse stock split that has been completed during the year. |
Reverse Stock split
On May 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to Vitaxel’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which authorized a one hundred-to-one reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of Vitaxel’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, with a record date of June 12, 2017 (the “Record Date”).
As of the effective date of the Reverse Split, every 100 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock automatically became one share of common stock. The Company’s authorized shares of common stock were reduced in proportion to the reverse split ratio, from 7,000,000,000 shares of authorized common stock prior to the effective date to 70,000,000 shares of authorized common stock on the effective date, and from 100,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock prior to the effective date to 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock on the effective date. Additionally, as part of the Reverse Split, the par value of both the Company’s common stock and its preferred stock was increased from $0.000001 per share to $0.0001 per share. Immediately prior to the Reverse Split the Company had 5,408,754,000 common shares issued and outstanding and had approximately 54,087,540 common shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split.
We expect that the Reverse Stock Split will (i) increase the marketability and liquidity of our common stock; (ii) address - liquidity of our common stock; (iii) address the reluctance of brokerage firms and institutional investors to recommend lower priced stocks to their clients or to hold in their own portfolios; and (iv) enable us to maintain the quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets, Inc. QB Tier.
Separately, on May 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a related increase in the par value of Vitaxel common stock from $0.000001 to $0.0001.

In December 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the number of shares under the 2016 Plan to 40,000,000 shares.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
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, unless otherwise indicated.
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 March 31, 2018, we had approximately 7,884 members, with approximately 4,110 members in Malaysia, approximately 2,253 members in Thailand, and approximately 1,170 members in Singapore.
As of March 31, 2018, we have expanded our network member base into approximately 12 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.
Results of Operations –Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

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.
