NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Unaudited)

 

1.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

HWGC Holdings Limited (“the Company”) formerly known as Vitaxel Group Limited, incorporated in Nevada, is engaged in direct selling industry and online shopping platform primarily through its operating entities in Malaysia.

 

Vitaxel SDN BHD (“VitaxelSB”), was incorporated in Malaysia on August 10, 2012. VitaxelSB 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 in developing online shopping platforms geared to the Company and its members and the third-party suppliers of products and services. 

 

On July 21, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “HWGG Share Exchange Agreement”) with HWGG Capital P.L.C., a Labuan company (“HWGG Capital”), and all of the shareholders of HWGG Capital (the “Shareholders”). Subject to the closing conditions set forth in the HWGG Share Exchange Agreement, each Shareholder irrevocably agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all HWGG Capital’s shares held by such Shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of 91,666,667 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Following the closing of the share exchange (the “HWGG Transaction”), HWGG Capital will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the HWGG Share Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the HWGG Transaction, each issued and outstanding share of HWGG Capital shall be exchanged for such number of shares of newly issued shares Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for an aggregate of $55,000,000. The number of Exchange Shares will be calculated based on a $0.60 share price.

 

The consummation of the HWGG Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other matters: (a) approval by the Labuan Finance Services Authority of the change in ownership of the Company; (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declaring effective the HWGC Holding’s statement on Form S-4 that will be filed in connection with the registration of the Exchange Shares; (c) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the HWGG Share Exchange Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; compliance by the parties with their respective pre-closing obligations in the HWGG Share Exchange Agreement in all material respects.

 

On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into another share exchange agreement (the “Fintech Share Exchange Agreement”) with Fintech Scion Limited (“Fintech”), a private limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom, and all of the shareholders of Fintech. Subject to the closing conditions set forth in the Fintech Share Exchange Agreement, each shareholder of Fintech irrevocably agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all Fintech’s shares held by such shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of 101,666,667 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Following the closing of the share exchange (the “Fintech Transaction”), Fintech will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Fintech Share Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the Fintech Transaction, each issued and outstanding share of HWGG Capital shall be exchanged for such number of shares of newly issued shares Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for an aggregate of $61,000,000. The number of Exchange Shares will be calculated based on a $0.60 share price.

 

The consummation of the Fintech Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other matters: (a) any required notices have been sent to the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority regarding the change in ownership of Fintech; (b) the SEC declaring effective the registration statement on Form S-4 that will be filed in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the shareholders of HWGG Capital in accordance with the terms of the HWGG Share Exchange Agreement; (c) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the Fintech Share Exchange Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; (d) compliance by the parties with their respective pre-closing obligations in the Share Exchange Agreement in all material respects; and (e) the absence of a Seller Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Fintech Share Exchange Agreement).

 

Although the Company had not yet received the approval from the Labuan Finance Services Authority, on August 16, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-4 with respect to the HWGG Transaction. The SEC took the position that since the shareholders had already approved the HWGG transaction, the Form S-4 was not the appropriate form of registration. Since the SEC did not accept the Company’s position on this issue, the Company withdrew the Form S-4.

 

As of the date of this report, the HWGG Transaction and Fintech Transaction have not been consummated yet.

2. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information under Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and foot notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01,1 which clarifies the guidance in ASC 8152 on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets. The ASU amends the guidance in ASU 2017-123 that, among other things, established the “last-of-layer” method for making the fair value hedge accounting for these portfolios more accessible by allowing the entities to apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. ASU 2022-01’s amendments are effective for public business entities, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material effect on our 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.

 

3. GOING CONCERN

 

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, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of $335,496 and had negative working capital of $4,729,086. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $9,934,315 as of September 30, 2022 due to the fact that the Company incurred losses during the years prior to September 30, 2022.

 

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, have 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.

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

 

We have experienced and are continuing to experience significant disruptions to our business operations due to circumstances related to COVID-19. The government-imposed quarantines, office closings, travel restrictions negatively impacted our business operations, as specifically related to the travel, entertainment and lifestyle industry.

 

Specifically, 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 different forms of announcement using an 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, however, slower than usual. Until the countries in South Asia and in Europe allow foreign visitors to travel without restrictions, we anticipate continuing of these significant disruptions which reduces our revenue.

 

In the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 29, 2022, we provided an update that the Malaysian Government issued a National Recovery Plan to cater for both the pandemic period and post-pandemic period. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the National Recovery Plan, which basically spells out 4 different phases of control order, is still in effect; Although to date, many restrictions have been lifted, the Company is still uncertain of the effect of the post-pandemic, where the Company may still expect long-term disruptions on its existing operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the related notes thereto.

 

Revenue

 

We recognized $325 and $2,902 revenues for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue in previous period is mainly contributed by VTrip sales as compared to the same period in current year, which were contributed by Vitaxel’s product sale. The decrease in revenue is attributable to the decrease in VTrip sales in the current period compared to the same period last year.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the period ended September 30, 2022 was $292 compared to $2,786 for the period ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to decrease in revenue in current period.

 

Gross Profit

The decrease of $23 or 100% for the selling expenses, along with the increase of $200,904 or 60% for the administrative expenses, led to total operating expenses to increase by $200,881 or 60%, which was mainly due to the increase in spending towards professional fees during the period as compare to the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had a cash balance of $47,178. During the period ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities totaled $298,023. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $21,519. Net cash provided by financing activities during the period totaled $334,412. The resulting change in cash for the period was an increase of $10,145, which was primarily due to proceeds received from related parties during the period.

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had current liabilities of $4,786,358, which was composed of amount due to related parties of $4,324,975, commission payables of $113,757, accounts payable of $140, accruals and other payable of $339,043 and lease obligation of $8,443.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had a cash balance of $38,262. During the period ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $33,903. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $nil. Net cash used in financing activities during the period totaled $40,502. The resulting change in cash for the period was a decrease of $8,289, which was primarily due to lease payments in current period.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had current liabilities of $4,720,012, which was composed of amount due to related parties of $4,222,590, commission payables of $125,953, accounts payable of $1,685, accruals and other payable of $331,798 and lease obligation of $37,986.

 

We had net liabilities of $4,634,291 and $4,537,413 as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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