Spun Out

On December 31, 2019, the Company recently spun out Food Society Group Limited (Food Business), which aims to develop and commercialize chain of restaurants in Vietnam.

In connection with the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company considered the guidance described in the SEC’s codified Staff Accounting Bulletins, Topic 5, Section Z, paragraph 7, “Accounting for the Spin-off of a subsidiary”. 

The Company’s initial registration of its securities under the 1933 Securities Act and the spin off transaction of the Food Society Group Limited occurred prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement. 

The Company considered the following facts and circumstances in concluding omitting the Food Society Group Limited results of operations and financial position in the consolidated financial statements presented in the registration statement:

•  The Company’s operations as a developer of an e-commerce platform and the Food Society Group Limited operations as a two(2) retail restaurants are in dissimilar business that would ordinarily be distinguished as reportable segments as defined by FASB ASC 280-10-50-10.

•  The Company and the subsidiary have been managed and financed historically as if autonomous  

•  The Company and the subsidiary have no common facilities or costs

•  The Company and the subsidiary are operated and financed autonomously after the  spinoff, and

•  There are no material financial commitments , guarantees or contingent liabilities to each other after the spin off

Accordingly, the Company has elected to characterize the spin-off of the Food Society Group Limited as a change in the Company’s reporting and present its historical financial statements as if the Company never had an investment in the subsidiary.

This spun off our subsidiary Food Society Group Limited which owns 100% of Vietnam Eats (Hong Kong) Limited which owns 100% of Loft Restaurant Service Trading Company Limited that operates 2 restaurants in Vietnam.

Thomas O’Connor, our former Chief Marketing Officer, serves as the legal representative of Loft Restaurant Service Trading Company Limited. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, Dennis Nguyen., is the Chairman of Food Society Group Limited’s board of directors.

The two restaurants were making losses for the financial year of 2019. The Company wanted to focus on building our loyalty technology platform. On December 20, 2019’s Board of Directors meeting the CFO presented the case for the spun off. The board voted on the February 18, 2020 to spin out the Food Society Group Limited via a proportionate distribution of shareholding percentage to the existing shareholders as at December 31, 2019.

NOTE－2 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company suffered from an accumulated deficit of 28,116,309 at September 30, 2021. The Company incurred continuous net loss of $15,528,998 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on November 8, 2021. On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, related to the offering of 2,888,889 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Firm Share”), at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional 236,111 shares of common stock (the “Option Shares”) to cover over-allotments. The Company has raised funding from Initial Public Offering and Option shares of $26,000,001 and 2,124,999. In addition, the Company has raised $8,019,461, net of issuance cost in the form of equity subsequent to issuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements respectively in the form of equity subsequent to issuance of the audit report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements and based upon the capital raised, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its working capital requirements for the next 12 months. As a result the Company has mitigated any doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern

The recent outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity.. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout Vietnam, Singapore and Southeast Asia. National, regional and local governments took a variety of actions to contain the spread of COVID-19, including office and store closures, quarantining suspected COVID-19 patients, and capacity limitations. These developments have significantly impacted the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company included in this reporting. The impact included the difficulties of working remotely from home including slow Internet connection, the inability of our accounting and financial officers to collaborate as effectively as they would otherwise have in an office environment and issues arising from mandatory state quarantines.

While it is not possible at this time to estimate with sufficient certainty the impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by federal, state, local and foreign governments could disrupt the operation of the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures have also had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global and domestic economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including on its potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, the Company has taken temporary precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to its employees, including temporarily requiring employees to work remotely, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect the Company’s business. These measures are continuing. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

NOTE－3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

• Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of Society Pass Incorporated have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been included. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The year-end balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other subsequent interim period.

• Use of estimates and assumptions

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables, assumptions used in assessing right of use assets, imputed interest on due to related parties, and impairment of long-term assets, business acquisition allocation of purchase consideration, and deferred tax valuation allowance.

• Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, certain amounts in the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

• Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cash and cash equivalent was amounted to $5,722,450 and $506,666, respectively.

The Company currently has bank deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. which does not exceed FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insurance provides protection for bank deposits up to $250,000, so there were uninsured balance of $4,895,306 and $208,635 in parent entity as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company has uninsured bank deposits with a financial institution outside the U.S. All uninsured bank deposits are held at high quality credit institutions.

• Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. At the end of fiscal year, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

• Inventories 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Costs include hardware equipment and peripheral costs which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $0 and $0, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an allowance for obsolete inventories of $0 and $0, respectively. The inventories were amounted to $0 and $0 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

• Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

• Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

• Revenue recognition

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). Under ASU 2014-09, the Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

The revenues are generated from a diversified a mix of marketplace activities and the services of the Company provide merchants to help them grow their businesses. The revenue streams consist of Consumer Facing revenues and Merchant Facing revenues.

Consumer Facing Business

The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity between merchant and consumer, generally through an online ordering platform. The platform allows merchants to create account, place menu and track their sale reports on the merchant facing application. The platform also allows the consumers to create account and make orders from merchants on the consumer facing application. The platform allows delivering company to accept online delivery request and ship order from merchant to consumer.

The Company also has online lifestyle platform allow customers to purchase high-end brands of all catergories: Under the Company’s smart search engine, consumers search or review their favorite brands among hundreds of choices in Apparel, Bags & Shoes, Accessory, Health & Beauty, Home & Lifestyle, International, Women, Men and Kids & Babies categories. The platform also allow consumers order from hundreds of vendor choices with personalized promotions based on purchase history and location. The platform has also partnered up with a Vietnam-based delivery company, Tikinow, to offer seamless delivery of product from merchant to consumer’s home or office at the touch of a button. Consumers place orders for delivery or pickup at the Company’s logistics center.

Revenue streams for consumer facing business:

 F&B sector

The Company recognizes revenues from consumer facing business upon the completion of delivery and services rendered.

During the period ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company have not generated any revenue from this stream.

Lifestyle sector

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company have generated $73,518 and $0, respectively revenue from this stream. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company have generated $73,518 and $0, respectively revenue from this stream.

Merchant Facing Business

Revenue streams for merchant facing business include:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company have generated $26,970 and $37,752, respectively revenue from this stream. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company have generated $10,016 and $11,044, respectively revenue from this stream.

Hardware Product Revenues — the Company generally is involved with the sale of on-premise appliances and end-point devices. The single performance obligation is to transfer the hardware product (which is to be installed with its licensed software integral to the functionality of the hardware product). The entire transaction price is allocated to the hardware product and is generally recognized as revenue at the time of delivery because the customer obtains control of the product at that point in time. It is concluded that control generally transfers at that point in time because the customer has title to the hardware, physical possession, and a present obligation to pay for the hardware. Payments for hardware contracts are generally due 30 to 90 days after shipment of the hardware product.

The Company records revenues from the sales of third-party products on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 606-10 Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the end customer and have the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfillment, retaining the risk for collection, and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specified in ASC 606-10 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.

Software License Revenues — The Company’s performance obligation includes providing connectivity to software, generally through a monthly subscription, where the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations prior to the submission of invoices to the customer for such services. The Company’s software sale arrangements grant customers the right to access and use the software products which are to be installed with the relevant hardware for connectivity at the outset of an arrangement, and to be entitled to both technical support and software upgrades and enhancements during the term of the agreement. The term of the subscription period is generally 12 months, with the automatic renewal of another one year, and the subscription license service is billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided. For clients who are billed on an annual basis, deferred revenue is recorded and amortized over the life of the contract. Payments are generally due 30 to 90 days after delivery of the software licenses.

The Company records its revenues on hardware product and software license, net of value added taxes (“VAT”) upon the services are rendered and the title and risk of loss of hardware products are fully transferred to the customers. The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the hardware products at the rate of 10% on the invoiced value of sales.

Contract assets

In accordance with ASC 606-10-45-3, contract asset is when the Company’s right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Company will recognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment. 

There were no contract assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Contract liabilities

In accordance with ASC 606-10-45-2, a contract liability is Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer when the customer prepays consideration or when the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services that the Company will yet provide whichever happens earlier.

Contract liabilities represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized, primarily from the billing of annual subscription agreements. The value of contract liabilities will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognition of revenue. The Company’s contract liability balance was $35,582 and $18,646 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Contract costs

Under ASC-606, the Company applies the following three steps in order to evaluate the costs to be capitalized as it fulfills following three criteria:

• Incremental costs directly related to a specific contract;

• Costs that generate or enhance resources of the company that will be used to satisfy performance of the terms of the contract; and

• Costs that are expected to be recovered from the customer.  

No contract costs are capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

No contract costs are capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

• Software development costs

In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time these costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Once the technological feasibility is established per ASC 985-20, the Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition or development of major software for internal and external use in the balance sheet. Costs incurred to enhance the Company’s software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The Company only capitalizes subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internally developed software to the extent that such changes allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. The Company also expenses website costs as incurred.

Research and development expenditures in the development of its own software are charged to operations as incurred. Based on the software development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model, which also requires certification and extensive testing. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release are immaterial. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the software development costs were $76,698 and $139,151, respectively. For three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the software development costs were $9,709 and $33,658, respectively.

• Product warranties

The Company’s provision for estimated future warranty costs is based upon historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. Based upon historical sales trends and warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers, the Company has concluded that no warranty liability is required as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. To date, product allowance and returns have been minimal and, based on its experience, the Company believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal.

• Shipping and handling costs

No shipping and handling costs are associated with the distribution of the products to the customers which are borne by the Company’s suppliers or distributors.

• Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $85,027 and $3,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Advertising expense were $42,843 and $0, respectively.

• Income tax

The Company adopted the ASC 740 Income Tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

The Company and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

• Uncertain tax positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

• Foreign currencies translation and transactions

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary is operating in the Republic of Vietnam and India and maintains its books and record in its local currency, Vietnam Dong (“VND”) and Indian Rupee (“INR), respectively, which are the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Shareholders’ equity is translated using the historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholder’s equity.

Translation of amounts from SGD$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Translation of amounts from VND into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Translation of amounts from INR into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain). We recorded a foreign exchange gain of $8,859 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a gain of $51,183 for the same period in 2020. Foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily unrealized (non-cash) in nature and results from the re-measuring of specific transactions and monetary accounts in a currency other than the functional currency. For example, a U.S. Dollar transaction which occurs in Singapore is re-measured at the period-end to Singapore dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the Singapore Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the Singapore dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 0.56%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.73534 as compared to 0.73118 at September 30, 2020. In addition, a U.S. Dollar transaction which occurs in India is re-measured at the period-end to India dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the India Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the India dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 0.79%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.013463 as compared to 0.013570 at September 30, 2020. A U.S. Dollar transaction which occurs in Vietnam is re-measured at the period-end to Vietnameses dollar amount if it has not been settled previously. The foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in the value of the Vietnamese Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar. From September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021, the Vietnamese dollar to the U.S. Dollar increased 2.32%. At September 30, 2021, the exchange rate was 0.000044 as compared to 0.000043 at September 30, 2020.

• Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

• Leases

The Company adopted Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally use the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded the right of use asset of $529,782 and $79,109 respectively.

• Related parties

The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The condensed consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

• Commitments and contingencies

The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

• Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables, contract liabilities, accrued liabilities and other payables, amounts due to related parties and operating lease liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

• Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of hardware, software and payroll, which are directly attributable to the sales of products. The cost also consists of costs of materials which has been sold attributable to the sales of high-end products. Additional costs may include freight paid to acquire the goods, custom duties, sales or use taxes not recoverable paid on materials used, and any fee for purchase.

• Share-based compensation

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07, the Company follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (employee or non employee), are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue. Restricted stock units are valued using the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2021, those shares issued for service compensations were immediately vested, and therefore this amount is thus recognized as expense with an offset to preferred or September 30, 2021 and 2020, the stock-based compensations are recorded in the General and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.”

• Business combinations

The Company follows ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation. ASC 805 requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “fair value.” The statement applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. Under ASC 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Accounting for goodwill requires significant management estimates and judgment. Management performs periodic reviews of the carrying value of goodwill to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that an impairment in value may have occurred. A variety of factors could cause the carrying value of goodwill to become impaired. A write-down of the carrying value of goodwill could result in a non-cash charge, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

• Earnings per share

Basic per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding during the year, excluding unvested restricted stock units. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under the treasury stock method, only “in the money” dilutive instruments impact the diluted calculations in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted calculations reflect the weighted average incremental common shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive options assuming the proceeds would be used to repurchase shares at average market prices for the period.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of below:

• Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in condensed consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company operates in two reportable operating segment.

• Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, (ii) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise. However, we have elected to “opt out” of the extended transition period discussed in (i) and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption of such standards are required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of such extended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

• Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption. 

Accounting Standards Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have any impact on the financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated and the adoption of this does not have an any impact on the financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”: The amendments in this update are to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to a variety of ASC topics. The changes in ASU 2020-03 are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practices. The ASU improves various financial instrument topics in the Codification to increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process by making the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE－4 BUSINESS COMBINATION

On November 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Hottab Pte Limited (the “Acquisition”). The total consideration of the acquisition is 156 shares of series C convertible preferred stock, approximately $900,000, cash consideration $150,000 and additional series C convertible preferred stock approximately $558,000 . The Company accounted for the transaction as an acquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration over the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values.

The deferred payments of $633,000 were discounted using the yield on a CCC rated corporate debt for 3-month, 6-month and 9-month maturities, respectively. The implied discount is approximately $30,198, which will be amortized over the term on the payments.

The purchase price allocation resulted in $2,766,000 of goodwill, as below:

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. The fair value measurements utilize estimates based on key assumptions of the Acquisition, and historical and current market data. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best information available and is pending, amongst other things: (i) the finalization of the valuation of the fair values and useful lives of tangible assets acquired; (ii) the finalization of the valuations and useful lives for the intangible assets acquired; (iii) finalization of the valuation of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and (iv) finalization of the fair value of non-cash consideration.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company has allocated the purchase price consideration based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from management estimation. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019, because there were continuous operating losses and negative cash flows incurred subsequently. Under ASC 350-20-50, the Company recognized the goodwill impairment loss by comparing the actual operating results of Hottab to the profit forecast and a negative performance is resulted.

During the measurement period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that date. No additional assets or liabilities were recognized during the measurement period, or the changes to the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized.

On September 30, 2021, the Company served the notification to a related party that certain terms under call option agreement and side letter were no longer effective, in case of non-fulfillment with the milestone conditions as set out in the agreements amounts of $75,000 cash consideration and $558,000 equity incentive. The said amount was written off and accounted as capital transaction and therefore credited the additional paid in capital account as of September 30, 2021.

NOTE－5 REVENUE

Revenue consisted of the following deliverables:

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have two reportable geographic segments:
