PART I.

ITEM 1. Business

As used in this Annual Report, unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Vitaxel Group Limited, a Nevada company, and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries. Vitaxel Group Limited is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Nevada.

Through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Vitaxel SDN BHD (“Vitaxel”) and Vitaxel Online Mall SDN BHD (“Vionmall”) incorporated under the laws of the Country of Malaysia, we run and operate the e-commerce business. Vitaxel was organized and commenced business operations in 2014 and Vionmall was organized and commenced business operations in 2015.

Recent Developments

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

As many parts of the world is currently under lockdown or restrictive movement orders due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that all companies related to the travel, entertainment and lifestyle industry have been negatively impacted. Our Company is not spared either. We do not foresee any income contribution from this business from January 2020, until the destination areas (in particular South-East Asia and Europe) reopen their countries to allow foreign visitors again.

Our multi-level marketing (“MLM”) business is negatively impacted due to the fact that being a business built on fostering personal relationship and expanding new contacts, most distributors are unable to carry out the more important aspects of regular face to face visits and appointments, promotional events and direct coaching to continuously improve their team’s skills, motivation and knowledge of our products. Fortunately, we are still able to connect to our leaders via calls, emails and backoffice announcements and other form of online communication such as Skype and Zoom to keep the leaders and members abreast with our status and development. As such, our MLM operation is still ongoing amid slower than usual.

In our previously Form 8-K and Form 10-Q, filed on April 22, 2020 and August 19, 2020 respectively, we announced that in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malaysian government has enforced a Movement Control Order (the “MCO”) effective March 18, 2020, closing all offices within the country that are non-essential forcing all of the Company’s staff to work from home. Subsequently, the MCO was replaced with the Conditional Movement Control Order on May 4, 2020 easing restrictions on most of Malaysia’s economic sectors until June 9, 2020. The Company opened its offices, but on an alternative day basis allowing staff to work on the Company’s backlogs. Afterwards, the Malaysian government announced the Recovery Movement Control Order beginning on June 10 and lasting till August 31, 2020, allowing most business to reopen and further eases COVID regulations on the country’s list of restricted activities. On August 28,2020, the Malaysian government extended the Recovery Movement Control Order to last till December 31, 2020.

However, our e-commerce business is marginally affected by the current outbreak. This is because members that are staying at home are still able to place orders from our e-commerce website. Whilst almost all of our merchants who showcase their products on our website are able to fulfil the orders to our customers as courier services are exempted from the lockdown.

We hope that in the middle of 2021, there will be improvement towards the restriction caused by the pandemic, hence enabling more merchants to sign up with us, and that our members will be more encouraged and enthusiastic to promote our e-commerce website to their family, friends and prospects.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers

On July 13, 2020, Mr. Lim Wee Kiat notified the Company of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Lim Wee Kiat’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, accounting or other policies, or practices.

On the same day, upon effectiveness of Mr. Lim Wee Kiat’s resignation, Mr. Leong Yee Ming, a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was appointed Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, effective immediately. As a result, Mr. Lim Wee Kiat is currently the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Chairman and director of the Company.

Securities Acquisition and Disposal by Directors or Certain Officers; Related Transactions

On July 13, 2020, Mr. Lim Wee Kiat disposed 7,696,553 shares of common stock for $nil consideration to Mr Leong Yee Ming. As a result of the disposal, Mr. Lim Wee Kiat no longer hold any common stock in the Company. Form 4/A has been filed by Lim Wee Kiat on March 26, 2021 to amend the original Form 4 filed on July 14, 2020, to correctly reflect his ownership of common stock.

Our Company

Vitaxel Group Limited is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Nevada. Through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Vitaxel and Vionmall incorporated under the laws of the Country of Malaysia, we run and operate the e-commerce business. Vitaxel was organized and commenced business operations in 2014 and Vionmall was organized and commenced business operations in 2015.

Vitaxel is a global direct selling, multi-level marketing company offering travel, entertainment, lifestyle and other products and services principally through electronic commerce commonly referred to as e-commerce.

Vionmall is involved in e-commerce business, through its platforms: Vionmarket, VTrips and VMall. Vionmarket is a rebate website that provide retail sales direct to consumers. However, Vionmarket do not develop or manufacture the products and services. VTrips is a platform that provides concessionary and travel packages to the public and members of Vitaxel. VMall is a newly launched e-commerce platform during current year first quarter.

We generate revenues through sales of our products on our e-commerce platforms. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized approximately $18,872 and $83,508, respectively, in revenues, of which Vitaxel accounted for 12% and Vionmall accounted for 88%, of our revenues.   

As a multi-level marketing company, a significant part of our platform involves recruiting members that sell our goods and services and that assist in recruiting other members. Our members can also promote and sell their own products and services through our Vionmall subsidiary.

Our operations, including sales transactions, are primarily based in Malaysia. We presently have approximately 5,700 members.  As of December 31, 2020, approximately 62% of our members reside in Malaysia, 29% of our members reside in Singapore, 4% members reside in China, approximately 3% members reside in Hong Kong and approximately 2% members reside in other countries. We provide our members from time-to-time 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 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, 2020, our revenues were primarily attributable to the sale in VMall.  

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.

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.

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. In addition, members who sponsor other members may earn commissions and bonuses based upon their sponsored members’ performance. 

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’s portals, 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, which was originally proposed to be exempted for the first year from the date of purchase of the package and to be charged at certain rate commending from the first day of the second year, but are currently still waived for all members as of the date of this Annual Report. 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.

The vacation business is seasonal as it depends on the holidays in the countries that the members reside.

History

Our publicly traded parent company was incorporated as Albero, Corp. in Nevada on November 19, 2013. Prior to the Share Exchange and Split-Off (each as defined below), we were engaged in the horse breading business. This business however was spun off contemporaneous with our acquisition of Vitaxel and Vionmall.

On January 8, 2016, (i) we changed our name to Vitaxel Group Limited, and (ii) we increased our authorized capital stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, to 7,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 (the “Common Stock”), and 100,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.000001.

On January 18, 2016, we completed 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, resulting in those operating companies becoming our wholly owned subsidiaries.

In connection with the Share Exchange and pursuant to a Split-Off Agreement (defined below), 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.

On May 25, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized and approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which authorized a one hundred-to-one reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, with a record date of June 12, 2017 (the “Record Date”). 

On May 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Vitaxel authorized and approved a related increase in the par value of the Vitaxel common stock from $0.000001 to $0.0001.

On June 12, 2017, we effectuated a 1:100 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) whereby our authorized shares of capital stock was reduced in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio. Accordingly, our 7,000,000,000 shares of authorized common stock became 70,000,000 shares of authorized common stock and our 100,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock became 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock. Additionally, as part of the Reverse Split, the par value of both our common stock and our preferred stock was proportionately increased from $0.000001 per share to $0.0001 per share, as reflected in the Certificate of Amendment. Under Nevada law, the Reverse Split and corresponding reduction in authorized common stock and preferred stock, and increase in par value of both classes of our stock, did not require shareholder approval.

On June 13, 2017 we received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effectuate the Reverse Split at the open of business on June 15, 2017. When the reverse stock split became effective, every one hundred shares of our pre-split issued and outstanding common stock, par value 0.000001 per share, automatically converted into one post-split share of our common stock, par value 0.0001 per share, rounded up to the nearest share, and with a corresponding reduction of the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue and increase in par value. The new CUSIP number for our common stock following effectiveness of the reverse stock split is 92849Y206.

Competition

The goods and services we sell that are most vulnerable to competition are those categories that relate to travel, entertainment and lifestyle products and services. These services 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.

Management believes 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

Our business is dependent on a combination of trademarks, patents, domain names, trade names, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in order to protect our intellectual property rights. We have applied for registration for our major trademark, VITAXEL 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 in Malaysia and the other applications from the other 12 countries except Indonesia 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 Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Myanmar, Macau, Laos and Taiwan and other countries including United States of America are pending for approval. 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 and multilevel marketing 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 legislation 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 multi-level marketing (“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.

In addition, the direct sales/MLM industry has some level of self-regulation and standards established by recognized trade organizations. The 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 “DSA Code”) was published by the WFDSA for National DSA members. This DSA Code establishes a standard framework for interaction between direct selling member companies, their direct sellers and consumers. The DSA 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. These Code of Ethics are enforced by an independent code administrator who is not connected with any member company. As a condition to membership in the DSA, 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 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 offer. 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.   

While the Company does not necessarily “commit” to the worldwide industry standards it does endeavor to maintain those standards as a minimum.   

Regulations in Malaysia

The rise of the number of direct selling companies in Malaysia was accompanied by the rise of fraudulent activities such as pyramid and Ponzi schemes. In 2011, Malaysia amended its previously existing statute to rename it the Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act (the “DSAPSA”). The key objectives of DSAPSA 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 Company is not involved in either door-to-door sales or mail order sales.  

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.

Other than time spent researching our business and proposed markets, we have 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.

PART II

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our common shares are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “VXEL”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

OTC Markets securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Markets securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Markets issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange. Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

As of March 18, 2021 the Company 1,883 stockholders of record.   This figure does not include those shareholders whose certificates are held in the name of broker-dealers or other nominees.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends.

On January 18, 2016, our board of directors and stockholders approved, the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which reserves a total of 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan. 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 following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Vitaxel Group Limited is a holding company incorporated under the laws of Nevada. Through our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Vitaxel and Vionmall incorporated under the laws of the Country of Malaysia, we run and operate the e-commerce business. Vitaxel was organized and commenced business operations in 2014 and Vionmall was organized and commenced business operations in 2015.

Vitaxel is 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.

Vionmall is an e-commerce business for retail sales direct to consumers. We do not develop or manufacture the products and services which we offer. 

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019

Revenue

We recognized revenue of $18,872 and $83,508 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively. The decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was attributable to the decrease in revenue of VTrips in current year due to the pandemic, whereby VTrips offer travel packages through its online platform to the public and members of Vitaxel.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $14,404 compared to $74,122 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to the decrease of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $4,468 compared to $9,386 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 23%, compared to 11% for the year ended December 31, 2019. Higher gross profit margin in December 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to the sales to better margin generated from sales in the newly launched VMall as compared to sales in VTrip in December 31, 2019.

Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $642,794, composed of selling expenses of $553 and general and administrative expenses of $642,241. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $995,057, composed of selling expenses of $1,437 and general and administrative expenses of $993,620. The decrease of $884, or 62% for the selling expenses and the decrease of $351,379, or 35% for the administrative expenses, caused total operating expenses to decrease by $352,263 or 35%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a cash balance of $46,551. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash generated by operating activities totaled $76,797, net cash used in investing activities totaled $4,348 and net cash used in financing activities totaled $89,758. The resulting change in cash for the period was $16,885.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $63,436. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities totaled $378,281, net cash used in investing activities totaled $34,152 and net cash used in financing activities totaled $526,640. The resulting change in cash for the period was $940,961, which was primarily due to cash used in repayment to related parties.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $4,934,483, including $4,401,809 due to related parties, other payable of $353,213, commission payables of $131,257, lease obligation of $47,974 and accounts payable of $230.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had current liabilities of $4,846,865, including $4,372,856 due to related parties, other payable of $340,112, commission payables of $133,743 and accounts payable of $154.

for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had net liabilities of $4,733,262 and $4,668,067, respectively.

We have incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,576,061 and $9,587,918 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 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 failure to do so may result in us not being able to continue as an operating company.

Grand Legacy License; Transaction With Affiliate

On January 5, 2017, we entered into a License Agreement (the “Grande Agreement”) with Grande Legacy Inc., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Grande Legacy”). 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 the United States of America, South Korea, Japan and other parts of the world as 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 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 is required to pay us a revenue share of 55% of the net profits for every three-month period.  

On July 1, 2018, the Company and Grande Legacy entered into an Amendment to Grande Agreement (“Grande Amendment 1”), revising the terms of royalty payment. Per Grande Amendment 1, Grande Legacy shall pay the Company royalty equal to 55% of net profits on a quarterly basis, commencing from July 1, 2018.

On July 1, 2018, Vitaxel entered into a management and administrative services agreement with Grande Legacy (“Management Agreement”) for a term of 3 years, which is still in full force and effect as of the date of this Annual Report. Per the Management Agreement, Vitaxel shall provide certain management and administrative support services for the operation of Grande Legacy. In consideration for providing such services, Grande Legacy shall pay a monthly management fee of $40,000 to Vitaxel. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, Vitaxel received management fees of $480,000 and $480,000, respectively, from Grande Legacy.

On January 1, 2019, the Company and Grande Legacy entered into another Amendment to Grande Agreement (“Grande Amendment 2”), allowing them to provide their marketing activities in Singapore and further changing our royalty payment from 55% of net profit to 4% of revenue, commencing from January 1, 2019. We believe that these changes will allow us to generate revenue regardless of whether Grande Legacy is able to generate net profit or not, and will also avoid dispute as to calculations of net profits.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Grande Agreement was expired but the Grande Legacy license is still effective through oral agreements. The Company is under active discussion with Grande Legacy with respect to the amendment or renewal to the Grande Amendment.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company received royalty income of $296 and $16,528, respectively, from Grande Legacy.

We have the following related party relationships with Grande Legacy: (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 reside 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 (the “Acquisition”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. 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 Grande Agreement was expired but the Grande Legacy license is still effective through oral agreements. The Company is under active discussion with Grande Legacy with respect to the amendment or renewal to the Grande Amendment.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Vitaxel Group Limited

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vitaxel Group Limited (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses in developing its business. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In U.S. dollars)

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. 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.

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.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. On consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. The Company owns 100% interest in both of its subsidiaries, Vitaxel SB and Vionmall.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 year. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant areas of estimate include useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-term assets and deferred income tax obligations. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. 

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, 2020 and 2019, the Company write off $0 and $82 respectively of its 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, 2020 and 2019, 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 consist of finished goods. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company wrote down $16,922 and $23,208 respectively, of its inventories that have been obsolete.

Long-term investment

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.

Property and equipment, net

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

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property and equipment are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis.

Leases

The Company assesses, at the inception of contract, whether it contains a lease. A contract is classified as a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any indirect costs incurred.

The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-to-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability, if any.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payment arising from a change in an index or rate, or changes in assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers , the standard applies a 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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, 2020 and 2019, all membership fees were waived by the Company for promotion purpose.

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

Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. 

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 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the Consolidated 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no dilutive effect due to net loss.

Related party transactions

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

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 adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, with the intent to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 as well as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

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

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, 2020, the Company reported a net income of $11,857 and had a working capital deficit of $4,822,170. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,576,061 as of December 31, 2020.

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. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the pandemic may hinder the Company’s operation and ability to raise financing due to uncertain capital markets, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors.

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.

Other receivables, prepayments and other current assets consist of the following:

(1)         Deposits represented payments for rental, utilities and deposit payment to product suppliers.

(2)         Prepayments mainly consists of prepayment for insurance and IT related fees.

(3)         Others mainly consists other miscellaneous payments.

The Company capitalizes all leased assets pursuant to ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases.

The Company lease consist of operating lease for office space and office equipment, with operating lease for terms between 2 to 5 years. As the operating lease does not provide implicit interest rate, management estimated a current borrowing rate of 3.5% in determining the present value of the lease.

Right-of-use assets consist of the following:

Lease liabilities consist of the following:

Property and equipment, net consist of the following:

Depreciation expenses charged to the statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $25,664 and $84,512 respectively. 

Accruals and other payables consist of the following:

(1)         Other payables mainly consist of members allocated redemption points and commission payable.

Income taxes consisted of Malaysia income tax and U.S. income tax. Malaysia income tax rate is 17% (2019: 24%) and United States of America income tax rate is 21% (2019: 21%). A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates is as follows:

Deferred tax assets are as follows:  

Total loss carry-forward is $1,073,417 for U.S and $2,470,570 for Malaysia.

The related party balances are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.

Included in accruals and other payables, there is an accrual of $5,413 payable to a former director of the Company, Lim Wee Kiat.

The Company recognized rent expenses of $nil and $16,902 to HWGB for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company has mutually agreed to terminate the lease with HWGB.

The Company recognized management fee income of $480,000 and $480,000 charged to GL for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

The Company also recognized royalty income of $296 and $16,527 charged to GL for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

The Company billed GL for sales of $17,490 and $nil for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

Vitaxel also paid a former director $1,500 director’s fee for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Capital Commitments

As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, Company has no capital commitments.

The Company has 1,000,000 shares authorized for preferred stock, with 0 outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 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, 2020.  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 (2013).  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. Our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2020. Based upon their participation in that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020. 

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, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. Other Information.

However, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to the action.

Executive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at its pleasure.

The principal occupation and business experience during the past five years for our executive officer and directors is as follows:

Dato Lim Hui Boon – President

Dato Lim Hui Boon has served as our President since March 15, 2016. He is a self-made businessman who, since his early ventures into the transportation business has, over the years, expanded into various sectors including hospitality, entertainment, mining and manufacturing. He started his business in transport and travel marketing overseas customers for Genting Group. He is the founder of the Ho Wah Genting Berhad (“HWGB”) Group of Companies which includes Ho Wah Genting Berhad, Ho Wah Genting Transport& Tour SDN BHD and Ho Wah Genting Coach Manufacturing SDN BHD. Through Dato Lim Hui Boon’s leadership, HWGB was successfully listed on the Second Board of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in December 1994, and later transferred to Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities BHD in November 2000.

He was designated as the Group President to the Board of HWGB after his resignation as an Executive Director and Chairman on June 14, 2011. He is also the founder of CVM Mineral Limited, a mining and manufacturing of magnesium ingot. The company was listed on the main board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2008. He later served as a President of the company from November 2009 to February 2013. Dato Lim Hui Boon also held other directorship due to his experience. He was the Director of HWG International Singapore Limited (listed on Singapore Exchange) from 1995 to 1998 and the Director of Paragon Union Berhard (listed on Bursa Malaysia) from 1997 to 1998. He also holds positions as an Honorable Committee Member of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Hwee Ann Association and a member of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In May 2015, Dato’ Lim Hui Boon received an Honorary Professorship from the University of International Business and Economics, Beijing, China. Dato Lim Hui Boon’s extensive experience in the industry led to the decision to appoint him to our board of directors.

Leong Yee Ming – Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director

Leong Yee Ming has served as our Chief Executive Officer and as a Director since January 18, 2016. He has more than 30 years of field and management experience in business, particularly in the network-marketing industry. Since November 2015, he has also served as the chief executive officer for Vitaxel Sdn. Bhd. From December 2013 until May 2015 he served as Chief Executive Officer for Grande Life, Inc. and Grand Legacy, Inc., corporations which he co-founded which are engaged in relationship marketing and lifestyle programs.

Leong Yee Ming’ s extensive experience in the industry led to the decision to appoint him to our board of directors.

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.”

Committees

The Board has no standing committees.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board does not currently have any member who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost related to retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are in the start-up stage of our business operations, we believe the services of an audit committee financial expert are not warranted at this time.

Potential Conflict of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent Directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our Directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or Directors, other than with respect to decisions that relate to Grand Legacy in that 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.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced by the Company at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the Board is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.

Family Relationships.

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

Involvement in Legal Proceedings.

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to our present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Code of Ethics and Business of Conduct

The Company does not currently have a written code of ethics and business of conduct policy. 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% percent of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports, all reporting persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, other than a filing on Form 4/A by Lim Wee Kiat on March 26, 2021 to amend the original Form 4 filed on July 14, 2020, to correctly reflect his ownership of common stock.

Shareholder Communications

We have not yet established a process for shareholder communications.

Form 4/A has been filed by Lim Wee Kiat on March 26, 2021 to amend the original Form 4 filed on July 14, 2020, to correctly reflect his ownership of common stock.

We currently do not have a policy in place for dealing with related party matters.

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.”

ITEM 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Fees.

The aggregate fees billed in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and quarterly review of the financial statements included in our Form 10-K and Form 8-K, respectively, or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $18,000 and $18,000, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees.

For each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no fees billed for services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements outside of those fees disclosed above under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees.

For fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we did not engage any professional services rendered for tax services. The professional services rendered for tax services for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,200.

All Other Fees.

None.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Given the small size of our Board as well as the limited activities of our Company, our Board acts as our Audit Committee. Our Board pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. Our Board approves these services on a case-by-case basis.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

We have not yet established an audit committee. Until then, there are no formal pre-approval policies and procedures. Nonetheless, the auditors engaged for these services are required to provide and uphold estimates for the cost of services to be rendered. The percentage of hours expended on Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP engagement to audit our financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
