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.

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.

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.

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:

 

     
    Expected useful lives  
Computer equipment   3 years  
Office equipment   5 years  

 

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.

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.

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.

• 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 three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

 14 

 

 

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.

 

 15 

 

 

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:

 

      
   September 30, 2021  September 30, 2020
Period-end SGD$:US$ exchange rate  $0.73534   $0.73118 
Period average SGD$:US$ exchange rate  $0.74658   $0.71922 

 

 

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:

 

   September 30, 2021  September 30, 2020
Period-end VND$:US$ exchange rate  $0.000044   $0.000043 
Period average VND$:US$ exchange rate  $0.000043   $0.000043

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:

 

Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
   
Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
   
Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

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:

 

      
   As of September 30,  As of December 31,
   2021  2020
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (a)   8,000    8,000 
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock   764,400    764,400 
Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   48,000    48,000 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock   465,600    108,600 
Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   4,195,200    865,500 
Warrants granted          
Warrants granted with Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   1,178,700    614,100 
Total:   6,659,900    2,408,600 

 

  (a) The Series A the conversion formula is aggregate Stated Value divided by IPO price (Stated Value for each Series A preferred share is $1,000). There are 8,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding (10,000 shares are designated Series A).  The conversion formula would be $8 million (the aggregate stated value) divided by IPO price.

 

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.

 

 21 

 

 

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”).

 

   
Purchase price allocation:   
Fair value of stock at closing  $900,000 
Cash paid   75,000 
      
Deferred payments- Cash   71,422 
Deferred payment- shares   531,380 
Less cash received   (15,337)
Purchase price  $1,562,465 

 

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:

 

   
Acquired assets:   
Trade receivables  $6,906 
Other receivables   1,857 
 Total acquired assets   8,763 
Less: Assumed liabilities     
Trade payables   39,147 
Accrued liabilities and other payable   68,458 
Amounts due to related parties   1,080,904 
Deferred revenue   23,789 
 Total Assumed liabilities   1,212,298 
Fair value of net liabilities assumed   (1,203,535)
Goodwill recorded   2,766,000 
Cash consideration allocated  $1,562,465 

 

 22 

 

 

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— 8 ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On February 16, 2021, the Company subsidiary SoPa Technology Pte Ltd (“SoPa Pte Ltd”) acquired certain e-commerce assets from Goodventures Sea Limited (“Goodventures”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 16, 2021 (the “Leflair Purchase Agreement”). The acquired assets consisted of intellectual property for it lifestyle e-commerce retail business.

As consideration for entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Goodventure a total of $200,000 in cash payable in installments until April 16, 2021 and 1,500 ordinary shares of SoPa Pte Ltd by April 16, 2021, which represent 15% of the outstanding share capital of SoPa Technology Pte Ltd.

The assets acquired by SoPa Pte Ltd under the Leflair Purchase Agreement were substantially all of the assets of an online retail platform that carried the “Leflair” brand name and included a Leflair e-commrce website, Leflair iOs and Android Apps, and backend end infrastructure as well as marketing properties including a customer list and social media pages.

NOTE-11 LEASES

 

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of our fiscal 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient. Some of our operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.

 

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, our incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We had no financing leases as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

The Company adopts a 5.26% as weighted average incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weighted average remaining life of the lease was 3.48 year.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company enter into new lease arrangements, and accounted as per ASC 842, the ROU asset and lease obligation of $479,171.

 

The Company excludes short-term leases (those with lease terms of less than one year at inception) from the measurement of lease liabilities or right-of-use assets. The following tables summarize the lease expense for the period ended September 30:

All vendors are located in Vietnam.

 

(c) Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(d) Exchange rate risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in VND, SGD and INR and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in VND, SGD and INR. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and VND, SGD and INR. If VND, SGD and INR depreciates against US$, the value of VND, SGD and INR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

(e) Economic and political risks

 

The Company's operations are conducted in the Republic of Vietnam. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the Vietnam, and by the general state of the Vietnam economy.

 

The Company's operations in the Vietnam and India are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the Vietnam and India, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

 

NOTE-18 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has no material commitments or contingencies.

Financing arrangement (due to a shareholder)

 

In February 2018, the Company entered into MOU with Connect Investment Pte Ltd (Enter Asia) for capital alliance for approximately 27% of shareholdings in the Company. Further, in August 2018, the said MOU was modified and shareholding was revised from 27% to 10% in the Company. However, subsequently in October 2020, it was agreed between both the parties to cease the said MOU with the understanding that there is no current and future obligation with either of them i.e. neither EnterAsia to make investment in the Company nor the Company to issue shares to EnterAsia. Further, the EnterAsia is going to get the shares of the Hottab Holdings Ltd (HHL) for the amount so far invested in the Company and therefore the amount due to EnterAsia is reclassified into the amount due to shareholder “Hottab Holdings Ltd”.

 

SOSV

 

In January 2019, the HPL entered into stock purchase agreement and accelerator contract for equity (ACE) with SOSV IV LLC (SOSV) whereby the HPL will issue shares representing 5% of their capital stock for the amounts of $168,000 in three tranche (a) SOSV to pay to the HPL $75,000 for integration of Mobile Only Accelerator (MOX) software development kit, (b) SOSV to pay on behalf of the HPL $48,000 upon MOX successful application and setting up subsidiary, and (c) SOSV to pay on behalf of the HPL $45,000 for setting program for services. The Company received first tranche of $75,000 only and thereafter no other two tranche received by the HPL, however, the outcome of the deal did not results success and so later the HPL have not issued any shares to the SOSV, therefore the arrangement amount of $75,000 accounted as loan from SOSV. On February 2, 2021, the Company sent the legal letter to the SOSV intimating that the Company acquired HPL by issuing 117,000 preferred stock series C to Hottab Holding Limited for the 100% acquisition of HPL. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $75,000 and $75,000, outstanding on this account, respectively. (see below for legal update)

Executive service agreements

 

On April 1, 2017 the Company entered into an at-will Employment Agreement with Dennis Nguyen, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement provides for a monthly salary of $40,000; provided that until the Company has adequate reserves to pay Mr. Nguyen’s salary, he may convert any unpaid salary into common stock of the Company at a share price equal to $250 per share. Mr. Nguyen is also entitled to an annual cash bonus of $250,000; provided that until the Company has adequate reserves to pay Mr. Nguyen’s annual bonus, he may convert any unpaid bonus into common stock of the Company as described above. This provision was inserted into the employment agreement to compensate Mr. Nguyen in stock, at his option, and was to remain operable only until the Company has sufficient cash to pay him his salary in cash. From July 2021 until now, the Company’s cash balance has been at least $4 million and the Company has paid Mr. Nguyen his salary in full in every month from July 2021 until now. As a result of these facts, the conversion feature in Mr. Nguyen’s contract became inoperable as of July 1, 2021 and Mr. Nguyen no longer has the option to convert unpaid salary into the Company’s shares. On October 25, 2021, the Company has also amended Mr. Nguyen’s contract to delete the conversion feature to make clear the conversion feature will not be operable in the future. Therefore, the Company will not accrue any expense. Mr. Nguyen is also entitled to participate in all of the other benefits of the Company which are generally available to office employees and other employees of the Company. Mr. Nguyen is not entitled to any severance pay.

 

On September 1, 2021 the Company entered into a 5-year Employment Agreement with Raynauld Liang, its Chief Financial Officer and Singapore Country General Manager.

If a change of control of the Company occurs and if at the time of such change of control the Company’s common stock is trading at a price that is double the initial public offering price, then Mr. Liang will be entitled to a cash bonus equal to three (3) times his base salary. If Mr. Liang is terminated other than for cause or resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to receive continued base salary until the earlier of (x) the anniversary date of such termination and (y) the end of the 5-year term of the employment agreement; provided, however, if the termination is after September 1, 2022, then the period set forth in clause (x) shall be 18 months from the date of the employment agreement. Mr. Liang may terminate the employment agreement at any time other than for good reason with 30 days’ notice to the Company.

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Two cases are employment actions filed by former employees who seek compensation alleged to be due pursuant to agreements with the Company.  Both of the employees are represented by the same counsel and filed their cases in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, in December 2019.

 

In one of those actions, a former employee claims entitlement to compensation and a bonus totaling $566,000 and 39,000-58,500 shares of Company common stock, together with costs.  The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $4,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with interest and costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’s breach of contract, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty.  The former employee has responded to the Company’s counterclaims and this action is in the discovery phase of the litigation.

 

In the other employment action, another former employee claims entitlement to salary payments and expense reimbursement in the amount of $122,042.60, plus liquidated damages, together with costs.  This former employee also claims entitlement to 516,300 to 760,800 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In addition, this action also includes claims by a plaintiff-entity alleging entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock.  The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims against the former employee in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’s breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference and fraud.  The former employee has responded to the Company’s counterclaims and this action is still in the discovery phase of litigation.

 

The third case also involves one of those former employees; therein, a Company affiliate filed suit in February 2020 seeking enforcement, by way of specific performance, of an agreement which entitles the affiliate to purchase all of the 99 percent of the shares of the plaintiff-entity which alleges entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in one of the employment actions described above.  The former employee has responded to the Company’s complaint in this action with a motion to dismiss, which was later withdrawn by same, and then by way of an answer without counterclaims.  The judge assigned to this action has announced his retirement and the case has not yet been reassigned.

 

The Company was in an AAA arbitration defending allegations of breach of an agreement. The Demand for Arbitration therein, dated August 25, 2020, asserted that the Petitioner, an LLC, had an agreement with the Company and its CEO granting the Petitioner the right to require the Company to redeem certain common stock in the Company for a cash payment.

 

The Demand alleged that the Petitioner submitted a Redemption Notice, as required under the alleged agreement, obligating the Company to redeem the shares. The Demand alleged that the failure of the Company to redeem the shares and pay Petitioner further obligated the Company to provide additional common stock to the Petitioner. The amount alleged to be due to the Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be $590,461.94 and growing daily while the number of additional common stock shares alleged to be due to Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be 708,542,582 and growing, daily.

 

In order to avoid an adverse award, the Company agreed to settle the matter for the sum of $550,000. No additional shares were included in the settlement agreement. The settlement sum was required to be paid in two tranches, with $250,000 to have been paid on or before May 28, 2021 and the remaining $300,000 to be paid on or before June 30, 2021. The Company made the required settlement payments and the matter is now considered closed.

In this letter, and the subsequently filed lawsuits, SOSV alleges that it entered into an investment arrangement with Hottab in which SOSV was to receive five percent (5%) of the common stock of Hottab and entered into an Accelerator Contract for Equity (the “ACE”) pursuant to which it alleges to have invested a sum of $168,000 with Hottab. These events are alleged to have taken place prior to the Company’s acquisition of Hottab. SOSV alleges that the Company subsequently acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hottab, which it alleges triggered a liquidity event clause under the ACE requiring the Company, by way of its ownership of Hottab, to pay SOSV twice its investment, or $336,000.

 

SOSV further alleges that subsequent to a term sheet between the Company and Hottab being executed, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Hottab from Hottab Holdings Limited (“Hottab Holdings”). As SOSV does not have any interest in Hottab Holdings, it did not receive any consideration as allegedly provided under the ACE.

 

Upon these allegations, SOSV asserts causes of action sounding in fraudulent misrepresentation/concealment, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quantum meruit and/or unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, oppression of minority shareholder, and breach of fiduciary duties. SOSV seeks damages in the amount of $336,000.00 in addition damages equal to the value of SOSV’s alleged equity in Hottab or in the alternative shares of the Company in an amount equal to SOSV’s ownership interest in Hottab at the time of the purchase of Hottab’s shares from Hottab Holdings.

 

Initially, SOSV filed suit in the District Court for New Jersey on June 10, 2021. SOSV voluntarily dismissed its New Jersey lawsuit and on October 29, 2021, re-filed the action in the Southern District of New York. The New York lawsuit was also voluntarily dismissed by SOSV. However, SOSV may choose to re-file its lawsuit. 

 

The Company denies the accusations of SOSV and intends to vigorously defend this matter if the action is re-filed. As the lawsuit has been voluntarily dismissed, there have been no proceedings and we are unable to prognosticate a likelihood of success, or whether SOSV will re-file the action.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $75,000 and $75,000 outstanding on this account, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects no possible loss from these legal proceedings and no provision is accrued accordingly.

The Group currently markets to both consumers and merchants in Vietnam while maintaining an administrative headquarters in Singapore. In Feb 2021,we have acquired an online lifestyle platform of Leflair branded assets (the “Leflair Assets”) as more fully described in “Business – Leflair” and are in the process of integrating the Leflair assets with the SoPa and #HOTTAB platform.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has globally resulted in loss of life, business shutdowns, restrictions on travel, and widespread cancellation of social gatherings. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including:

 

new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the disease in Vietnam and SEA;
the duration and spread of the outbreak;
the severity of travel restrictions imposed by geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures;
regulatory actions taken in response to the pandemic, which may impact merchant operations, consumer and merchant pricing, and our product offerings;
other business disruptions that affect our workforce;
the impact on capital and financial markets; and
action taken throughout the world, including in markets in which we operate, to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact.

 

In addition, the current outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread global health crisis and adversely affected global economies and financial markets, and similar public health threats could do so in the future. Such events have impacted, and could in the future impact, demand for merchants and consumer purchase patterns, which in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

 

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April 2020, all our POS merchant clients are affected by COVID-19 measures for F&B to temporary stop restaurant dine ins.

 

Some of our restaurant clients ceased operations permanently and many were closed since June 2020 without any notice of reopening their business to date.
Our largest POS client, a hotel chain for which we provide POS services to their F&B business in their hotels, ceased operations in two out of nine hotels since April 2020.
The Company faces challenges to onboard new clients but at the same time losing many existing ones.

 

With the ongoing pandemic, Company faces challenges in our operation as follows;

 

Disruption of operation in Vietnam, India, Singapore and US where staffs have to work from home.
The coordination of rebooting of company’s recent asset acquisition of Leflair an ecommerce platform.
Application of licenses are delayed as government agencies take longer time to review and process time.
HR process to hire personnel are generally slow due to people not willing to leave their current job, company have to spend more time and resources.

 

 48 

 

 

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases, and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events and conferences and further actions may be taken as required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and other business partners. We are monitoring the global outbreak of the pandemic, in SEA, especially Vietnam and are taking steps in an effort to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. See “Risk Factors--Our business may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

Gross Loss. We recorded a gross loss of $75,902 and $8,687 for three months ended September,30 2021 and 2020 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30,2021 and 2020, we recorded a gross loss of $163,470 and $17,847 respectively. The increase in gross loss is primarily attributable to fixed subscription cost and the number of headcounts arising from the acquisition of e-commerce assets from Goodventures Sea Limited.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses (“S&M”). We incurred S&M expenses of $42,843 and $0 for three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively. During nine months ended September 30,2021 and 2020, we have incurred S&M expenses of $85,027 and $3,125 respectively. The increase in S&M is primarily attributable to the increased in sales and promotion expenses related to get more merchants joining our e-commerce platform to operate their business. Also, increase marketing cost to attract attention of customer to our e-commerce platform.

 

Software Development Cost (“SDC”). We incurred SDC expenses of $9,709 and 33,658 for three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred SDC exepenses of $76,698 and $139,151 respectively. The decrease in SDC is primarily attributable to the restructuring of our technology development team.

 

Impairment Charge (“IC”). We incurred impairment charge of $200,000 and $8,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. No impairment charge imcurred for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Leflair ecommerce asset which was expensed in the same period due to the short life term of the asset and the quantum of consideration.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred G&A expenses of $14,414,362 and $2,311,266 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,722,450, accounts receivable of $87,803, deposits, prepayments and other receivables of $69,623 and due from related parties of $97,500.

The accompanying 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 net loss of $15,528,998 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of this financial statement, without additional debt or equity financing. 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

 

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

• Use of estimates and assumptions

 

In preparing these 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.

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.

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:

 

   Expected useful lives
Computer equipment  3 years
Office equipment  5 years

 

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.

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.

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.

• 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

 57 

 

 

• 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 June 30, 2021 and 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 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 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.

 

 58 

 

 

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$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. 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:

 

   September 30, 2021  September 30, 2020
Period-end SGD$:US$ exchange rate  $0.73534   $0.73118 
Period average SGD$:US$ exchange rate  $0.74658   $0.71922 

 

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:

 

   September 30, 2021  September 30, 2020
Period-end VND$:US$ exchange rate  $0.000044   $0.000043

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 loss or 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 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 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 ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to determines 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 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.

 

• 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.

 

 60 

 

 

The condnensed 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:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

 61 

 

 

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:

 

   As of September 30,  As of December 31,
   2021  2020
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (a)   8,000    8,000 
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock   764,400    764,400 
Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   48,000    48,000 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock   465,600    108,600 
Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   4,195,200    865,500 
Warrants granted   —     —  
Warrants granted with Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock   1,178,700    614,100 
Total:   6,659,900    2,408,600 

 

  (a) The Series A the conversion formula is aggregate Stated Value divided by IPO price (Stated Value for each Series A preferred share is $1,000). There are 8,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding (10,000 shares are designated Series A).  The conversion formula would be $8 million (the aggregate stated value) divided by IPO price.

 

• 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimate

 

• 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.

 

 63 

 

 

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 an 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We did not have investments and do not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even disclosure controls and procedures determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties which comprises a material weakness in internal controls. This lack of segregation of duties leads management to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over our Exchange Act reporting disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is currently litigating three cases pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and one case pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Two cases are employment actions filed by former employees who seek compensation alleged to be due pursuant to agreements with the Company. Both of the employees are represented by the same counsel and filed their cases in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, in December 2019.

In one of those actions, a former employee claims entitlement to compensation and a bonus totaling $566,000 and 39,000-58,500 shares of Company common stock, together with costs. The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $4,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with interest and costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’s breach of contract, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty. The former employee has responded to the Company’s counterclaims and this action is in the discovery phase of the litigation.

In the other employment action, another former employee claims entitlement to salary payments and expense reimbursement in the amount of $122,042.60, plus liquidated damages, together with costs. This former employee also claims entitlement to 516,300 to 760,800 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, this action also includes claims by a plaintiff-entity alleging entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock. The Company responded to the complaint and also asserted counterclaims against the former employee in the proceeding for $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 plus punitive damages, together with costs, arising from, inter alia, the former employee’s breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference and fraud. The former employee has responded to the Company’s counterclaims. The judge assigned to this action retired at the end of 2020. A new judge has been assigned and this action is progressing through the discovery phase of litigation.

The third case also involves one of those former employees; therein, a Company affiliate filed suit in February 2020 seeking enforcement, by way of specific performance, of an agreement which entitles the affiliate to purchase all of the 99 percent of the shares of the plaintiff-entity which alleges entitlement to $8 million in shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in one of the employment actions described above. The former employee has responded to the Company’s complaint in this action with a motion to dismiss, which was later withdrawn by same, and then by way of an answer without counterclaims. The judge assigned to this action has announced his retirement and the case has not yet been reassigned.

The Company was in an AAA arbitration defending allegations of breach of an agreement. The Demand for Arbitration therein, dated August 25, 2020, asserted that the Petitioner, an LLC, had an agreement with the Company and its CEO granting the Petitioner the right to require the Company to redeem certain common stock in the Company for a cash payment.

 

The Demand alleged that the Petitioner submitted a Redemption Notice, as required under the alleged agreement, obligating the Company to redeem the shares. The Demand alleged that the failure of the Company to redeem the shares and pay Petitioner further obligated the Company to provide additional common stock to the Petitioner. The amount alleged to be due to the Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be $590,461.94 and growing daily while the number of additional common stock shares alleged to be due to Petitioner as of July 31, 2020 was said to be 708,542,582 and growing, daily.

 

In order to avoid an adverse award, the Company agreed to settle the matter for the sum of $550,000. No additional shares were included in the settlement agreement. The settlement sum was required to be paid in two tranches, with $250,000 to have been paid on or before May 28, 2021 and the remaining $300,000 to be paid on or before June 30, 2021. The Company made the required settlement payments and the matter is now considered closed.

On or about March 5, 2021, SOSV IV LLC (“SOSV”) sent a demand letter to the Company in regard to its investment in Hottab Pte. Ltd. (“Hottab”).

In this letter, and the subsequently filed lawsuits, SOSV alleges that it entered into an investment arrangement with Hottab in which SOSV was to receive five percent (5%) of the common stock of Hottab and entered into an Accelerator Contract for Equity (the “ACE”) pursuant to which it alleges to have invested a sum of $168,000 with Hottab. These events are alleged to have taken place prior to the Company’s acquisition of Hottab. SOSV alleges that the Company subsequently acquired all of the outstanding shares of Hottab, which it alleges triggered a liquidity event clause under the ACE requiring the Company, by way of its ownership of Hottab, to pay SOSV twice its investment, or $336,000.

 

SOSV further alleges that subsequent to a term sheet between the Company and Hottab being executed, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Hottab from Hottab Holdings Limited (“Hottab Holdings”). As SOSV does not have any interest in Hottab Holdings, it did not receive any consideration as allegedly provided under the ACE.

 

Upon these allegations, SOSV asserts causes of action sounding in fraudulent misrepresentation/concealment, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quantum meruit and/or unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, oppression of minority shareholder, and breach of fiduciary duties. SOSV seeks damages in the amount of $336,000.00 in addition damages equal to the value of SOSV’s alleged equity in Hottab or in the alternative shares of the Company in an amount equal to SOSV’s ownership interest in Hottab at the time of the purchase of Hottab’s shares from Hottab Holdings.

 

Initially, SOSV filed suit in the District Court for New Jersey on June 10, 2021. SOSV voluntarily dismissed its New Jersey lawsuit and on October 29, 2021, re-filed the action in the Southern District of New York. The New York lawsuit was also voluntarily dismissed by SOSV. However, SOSV may choose to re-file its lawsuit. 

 

The Company denies the accusations of SOSV and intends to vigorously defend this matter if the action is re-filed. As the lawsuit has been voluntarily dismissed, there have been no proceedings and we are unable to prognosticate a likelihood of success, or whether SOSV will re-file the action.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $75,000 and $75,000 outstanding on this account, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company does not expect any losses from these legal proceedings and accordingly has not accrued any provisions for them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Prospectus, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2021, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
