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

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, 2018, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Security and Exchange Commission (“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 March 31, 2019, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

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 consolidated financial statements and has not yet decided whether or not to early adopt the amendments.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present and future consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

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.

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.

Revenue

We recognized $14,515 and $12,715 revenues for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The slight increase in revenue was attributable to increase in our product sales due in the current period compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit for the period ended March 31, 2019 was $5,058 compared to $10,173 for the period ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was attributable to the high cost of sales in current period as compared to the same period last year.

Recent Developments: 

Grand Legacy License; Transaction With Affiliate

On January 5, 2017, we entered into a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Grande Legacy Inc., a BVI Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Pursuant to the Agreement, we granted Grande Legacy Inc. 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 platform, including but not limited to our online shopping mall known as “Vionmall”, in United State of America, South Korea, Japan and other parts of the world agreed to by the Company from time to time. The term of the Agreement is three years with a possibility of renewal for another three years. The Agreement provides that Grande Legacy Inc. is in charge of all initial costs of setting up its business in United State of America, South Korea, Japan and other parts of the world agreed to by the Company. Grande Legacy Inc. is required to pay us a revenue share of 55% of the net profits for every three-month period.

On January 1, 2019, we amended the Licensing Agreement with Grande allowing them to provide their marketing activities in Singapore and further changing our royalty payment from 55% of net profit to 4% of revenue. We believe that these changes will allow us to generate revenue regardless of whether Grande Legacy Inc. is able to generate net profit or not, and will also avoid dispute as to calculations of net profits.

We have the following material relationships with Grande Legacy Inc.: (i) our Chief Executive Officer, Leong Yee Ming owns 2 shares, or 50% of Grande Legacy Inc.’s issued and outstanding shares, and is a principal executive officer and a director Grande Legacy Inc.; and (ii) our President, Dato Lim Hui Boon’s brother Lim Hui Sing, owns 2 shares, or 50% of Grande Legacy Inc.’s issued and outstanding shares, and is a director of Grande Legacy Inc. However, Lim Hui Sing does not stay with any of the immediate family of the President of the Company, Mr Lim Hui Boon. He is considered to be independent party towards the said family. He is also not an officer nor a director of the Company

Grand Legacy Acquisition Termination; Continuation of License Agreement

On December 15, 2017, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Grand Legacy with its shareholders, Lim Hui Sing and Leong Yee Ming (together, the “Sellers”) and Vitaxel Sdn. Bhd., our wholly-owned subsidiary for the acquisition of Grande Legacy Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (“Grande Legacy”) (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the transaction, the Company was required to issue to each of the Sellers 37,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or at total of 75,000,000 shares (the “Consideration Shares”).

Among the conditions to closing of the Acquisition, the parties agreed that:

While Grande Legacy was able to deliver its audited financial statements, the Company did not obtain the shareholder approval consents necessary to increase its capitalization so that it can issue the Consideration Shares.

On September 17, 2018, the Company was notified by Grande Legacy of their intent to terminate the Acquisition since the requisite approvals for issuance of the Consideration Shares and the audit was not completed. After extended deliberation and negotiation, the Company determined that the cost in completing the transaction would likely outweigh the benefits of completion of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the Company allowed the Acquisition to terminate and entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with Grande Legacy on December 5, 2018.

Other than expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition transaction, the Company did not pay any consideration and no Consideration Shares were issued. In addition, no penalties were payable by either party. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing termination of the Acquisition, the License Agreement between the Company and Grande Legacy entered into on January 5, 2017, as amended, is still in full force and effect.

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.

On July 2, 2018, we entered into an agreement with one independent third party to dispose the entire shareholding in Vitaxel Corp (Thailand) Ltd. for a total proceeds of $10,000.
