NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(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. Vitaxel SB 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. Vionmall is primarily engaged in developing online shopping platforms geared to Vitaxel and its members and 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, 2020, 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 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of September 30, 2021, results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

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 adoption of this new standard did not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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

For the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported a net income of $14,548 and had negative working capital of $4,602,618. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,561,513 as of September 30, 2021 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the years prior to September 30, 2021.

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 and carry out its business plan due to uncertain capital markets, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors.

These unaudited condensed 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:

The Company’s leases 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 operations and comprehensive loss for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $12,224 (3 months $3,734) and $19,633 (3 months $6,386) respectively.

Accrued expense and other payables consist of the following:

 Schedule of related party balances and transactions

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

The Company also recognized royalty income of $nil and $293 charged to GL for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

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, 2020 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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