The following chart shows the Group structure:

The Company’s executive office is located at No. 19 Jalan 12/118B, Desa Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 56100.

Overview

We are engaging in the production and sale of food products, specifically dessert created and sold through various restaurants that we operate in Malaysia. We sell our goods under our brand name “Sweet Hut”. The Company originally through indirect subsidiary SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd. operates two restaurant outlets and one central kitchen in Malaysia.

On July 29, 2020, the Company decided to terminate two restaurant outlets in Setapak and Pandan Indah, 3-month notices were given to both landlords, effective on August 1, 2020 onwards. As such, both restaurant outlets tenancy agreement expired on October 31, 2020 and no longer carried any operation as of March 31, 2021.

On September 22, 2020, the Company decided to terminate restaurant outlets on Botanic and C180, 2-month notices were given to both landlords, effective on September 28, 2020 onwards. As such, both restaurant outlets tenancy agreement expired on November 30, 2020 and no longer carried any operation as of March 31, 2021.

On November 15, 2020, the Company entered into a new tenancy agreement with unrelated third party for a new shop located in C180, Cheras through indirect wholly owned subsidiary SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd. for a tenancy period of two years. SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd. were given a rent-free grace period of one month from November 15, 2020 to December 14, 2020, upon the expiration of rent-free grace period, the Company pays a rental of MYR 6,000 (approximately $1,441) on monthly basis. As of March 31, 2021, renovation was completed and the branch was in operation.

On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into another tenancy agreement with unrelated third party for a new shop located in Sri Petaling, through SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd. for a tenancy period of three years commencing on February 1, 2021 at a monthly rental of MYR 15,000 (approximately $3,602), expiring on January 31, 2024, with option to extend for another two years expiring on January 31, 2026 with a maximum increment of not more than 15%.

We started our business under the brand of “Sweet Hut” in 2010, the trademark for which registered and will remain valid until March 25, 2020. We established our first outlet in Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We started to manufacture various traditional Chinese desserts such as black glutinous, almond, mango desserts and peanut butter.

The name “Sweet Hut” is derived from the word ‘Sweetheart’. Since food is known as the language of love, we’ve decided to use ‘Sweetheart’ as our business’s signature – a dessert hut filled with love, passion & integrity. Sweet Hut aims to please customers by serving creative and exquisite desserts.

In 2013, our company was awarded “SME100 Award” by SME & Entrepreneurship Magazine. SME100 Awards is an annual recognition programme organized by SME Magazine, naming the fastest moving businesses of the SME sector. To promote recognition of top businesses in a lucrative and dynamic market, the SME100 Awards has served as a symbol which is believed to distinguish the best among the great.

Since 2013, we have grown into a dessert manufacturer and dessert chain under our brand name of “Sweet Hut” in Malaysia. By the end of 2020, the Company decided to shut down all four restaurants operation and re-establish two new restaurants under new concept to strengthen the Company business branding and promoting, together with the launching of menu.

We operate one centralized kitchen and two restaurants located in Malaysia. We manufacture and process our own dessert and food in our centralized kitchen with standard procedures and recipes, in order to ensure the food quality and safety for distribution. Our suppliers, including raw material, ingredient, packaging material suppliers, are located in Malaysia.

Most of our centralized prepared dessert and food will be distributed to our restaurants through our logistic team delivery, via refrigerated trucks. Restaurant is owned and operated by the Company with an internal operational manual in order to comply with all laws applicable to operating a restaurant in Malaysia, which includes, but is not strictly limited to, the Food Act 1983, Food Regulations 1985 and Food Hygiene Regulations 2009.

In 2017, due to the increasing number of smartphone users and availability of online food delivery intermediaries, the Company decided to take advantage of such opportunities. On July 4, 2017 and September 18, 2017, the Company, through SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd., which is the restaurant operator, registered as a vendor to Honestbee food delivery and Foodpanda delivery. On November 22, 2018, the Company, through SH Dessert Sdn. Bhd., registered with Grabfood as a vendor. On July 22, 2019, Honestbee food delivery suspended its operation in Malaysia and we stopped our collaboration with Honestbee on the same day. The Company believes registering as a vendor to the aforementioned platforms enables the Company to expand the coverage of availability of all our restaurants despite these platforms charging approximately 30% commission on the total food bill on average.

On January 31, 2020, Lucky Star F&B Sdn. Bhd., which is the centralized kitchen operator, has acquired the halal certificate on the food process and production from JAKIM, also known as Department of Islamic Development Malaysia. According to the information from the Department of Statistics Malaysia, as of 2019, the population in Malaysia was approximately 32.6 million, and 69.3% of the population were Muslim adherents. With the halal certificate, we believe the Company can penetrate the Islamic food market in Malaysia, which may lead to improvement in the Company’s financial performance and position.

The Company has observed an increasingly competitive environment in the food and beverage industry due to the low barriers to entry and shift in the paradigm of consumer behaviour and preference which the Company believes it is crucial to implement strategic rebranding and marketing activities to cope with industry and consumer demand. For this purpose, in 2020, the Company has closed all of its four restaurants and re-establish two new outlets locating in C180, Cheras and Sri Petaling and engaged branding firm, to advise on our marketing approach including our brand new renovation outlook, dishes and menu with the funding from our public offering.

We strongly believe to excel in food and beverage industry, it is crucial to maintain the quality of food served to our customers, regardless of whether that is through food delivery or dine in. To grow our business and build brand awareness it is crucial to improve the Company’s exposure in terms of availability to different locations throughout different towns. Currently, the Company’s potential market is limited to the two towns in which our restaurant is located. Even with the availability of online food delivery platforms, we believe we are unable to attract customers located more than 20 kilometers away from our individual restaurants, which limits to our growth.

On October 31, 2022, the Company terminated all the tenancy agreements before the due date of the agreements.

On November 30, 2022, the Company has entered into a lease agreement with a third party, Sweet Bakery & Dessert Cafe Sdn Bhd to lease their assets to the third party. The leasing period is commencing from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Company did not cease its business operation nor sell the operating assets. The Company is looking for a new strategic location to continue their business while leasing out their assets to the third party.

Disclosures Control and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; and (4) lack of internal audit function due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our chief executive officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

As of March 31, 2023, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective.

Identified Material Weaknesses

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023.

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

Since 2021, we engaged Dude Business Consultants Limited as an external consultant to assist with the identification and address of complex and proper accounting issues.

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we also plan to initiate the following series of measures to further strengthen the Company’s internal controls going forward:

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2023.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Corporate Governance

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.

In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company review the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

Committees of the Board

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.

We believe that our Director(s) are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Director(s) of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our Directors and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

Independence of Directors

We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

Shareholder Proposals

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended March 31, 2023.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Synergy Empire Limited

No. 19, Jalan 12/118B,

Desa Tun Razak, 56100

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Synergy Empire Limited (the ‘Company’) as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Audit Matters

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