VIVIC CORP. - Annual Report: 2021 (Form 10-K)

Our business had been adversely affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both China and Taiwan governments have imposed various strict measures including, but not limited to, travel restrictions, mandatory quarantine requirements, and postponed resumption of business operations. Considering the features of our business in the tourism and recreation industries, we have been experiencing business downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.  Further, COVID-19 pandemic leads to worldwide health crisis, it has been harmfully influencing the global economy and financial markets. the COVID-19 pandemic has not been effectively controlled so far, our businesses, results of operations and net loss in 2021 may be worse than that in 2020 and 2019.  The Company’s major income sources has been coming from consultation services to the yacht marina operators which has been largely affected due to government emergency policies to control leisure travel and activities.  Most yacht marina operations of our clients have been stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic which has imposed direct negative effect to the Company’s income during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We expect our consultation business will resume once the COVID-19 pandemic will go away with government policies begin to allow some leisure travel and activities to resume most of the yacht marina operations in China and Taiwan.

Our growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.

Our success will depend in part upon management’s ability to manage growth. To do so, we must continue to hire, train, and manage new employees as needed. If our new hires perform poorly, or if we are unsuccessful in hiring, training, managing, and integrating these new employees, or if we are not successful in retaining our existing employees, our business may be harmed. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. The additional headcount and capital investments we are adding will increase our cost base, which will make it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by offsetting expense reductions in the short term. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We might not be able to receive the applicable governmental approval for the land use and the construction of marinas which might cause us unable to carry out our marina business.

Since our current marina projects are all in China and China requires government approval for the land use and construction of marinas, if we are unable to receive all the required approvals, we might not be able to start the marina development and may not be able to carry out our marina business operations.

Weather conditions and natural disasters may have severe impact on our business operations and cause damage to our business

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

Lack of experienced professionals might cause us unable to find adequate workforce to fulfill our demand.

Currently, even though there is a growing yacht industry in China, there are not enough professional personnel to manage these specialized services. Furthermore, there are no companies that focus on training these essential personnel. The personnel in the marina management, yacht service, event planning, repair and maintenance do not meet the high demand of the yacht services.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us and we may have limited legal recourse under PRC law if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.

China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in the PRC. Because these laws and regulations are relatively new, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, sometimes we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after violation.

The PRC government has enacted some laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation, and trade. However, their experience in implementing, interpreting, and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the PRC government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance, or to seek an injunction under PRC law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the PRC legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Capital outflow policies in the PRC may hamper our ability to remit income to the United States.

The PRC has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital and as a result we may not be able to remit income earned and proceeds received in connection with our operations or from the sale of our operating subsidiary to the U.S. or to our shareholders.

Increases in labor costs in the PRC may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The economy in China has experienced increases in inflation and labor costs in recent years. As a result, average wages in the PRC are expected to continue to increase. In addition, we are required by PRC laws and regulations to pay various statutory employee benefits, including pension, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. The relevant government agencies may examine whether an employer has made adequate payments to the statutory employee benefits, and those employers who fail to make adequate payments may be subject to late payment fees, fines and/or other penalties. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. Unless we are able to control our labor costs or pass on these increased labor costs to our users by increasing the fees of our services, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Your ability to bring an action against us or against our directors and officer, or to enforce a judgment against us or them, will be limited because we conduct all our operations in the PRC and because all our directors and the majority of our officers reside outside of the United States.

We are a company in Nevada but all our assets are located outside of the United States. All our current operations are conducted in the PRC and Taiwan. In addition, all our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts’ judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, none of whom are residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Our counsel as to PRC law has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in the PRC may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between the PRC and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. The PRC does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or the public interest. Therefore, it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigations initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the security’s regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the security’s regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the PRC territory. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase the difficulties you face in protecting your interests.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Taiwan

1.Political Issue 

Taiwan is surrounded by sea and the coastline is curved long.  The population density is high around the west coast and Taiwan Strait.  The Taiwan vessels are allowed to cruise offshore only on the west coast due to the political issue between Taiwan and PRC.  It harmfully influences the accessibility of Taiwan vessels along the west coast and sea tourism eventually.

2.Consumer Prospect 

Most consumers do not well understand the luxury yachts market and are price-conscious in the past. As a result, the sightseeing boats with high-carrying capacity are targeted. The operating costs between luxury yachts and sightseeing boats are hugely different. More educational and promotional activities should be launched to arouse potential consumers how the luxury yachts valued for money.

3.Climate Issue 

Taiwan is located in the subtropical and tropical areas with typhoons in Summer and strong seasonal wind in Winter normally.  Therefore, the sea tourism in Summer and Winter is adversely affected.  Intense sales and marketing activities are required.

4.Competition 

The government of Taiwan maintains a favorable stance on the development of the yacht industry. As such, the continued investments in yacht related businesses and marina infrastructure by the government has led to fierce competition among the companies here. Due to the limited number of ports along the coastline, additional effort and funds will be required to capture market share.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock 

We are offering 10,000,000 common stock without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares. We are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our officers and sole director, who will receive no commissions. They will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates, however, there is no guarantee that they will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless they are successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.

Because there is no minimum proceeds the Company can receive from its offering of 10,000,000 shares. The Company may not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned business and your entire investment could be lost.

The Company is making its offering of 10,000,000 shares of common stock on a best-efforts basis and there is no minimum amount of proceeds the Company may receive. Funds raised under this offering will not be held in trust or in any escrow account and all funds raised regardless of the amount will be available to the Company. In the event the company does not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned operations, your entire investment could be lost.   As the company is still in its infancy and weathering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our major shareholders agreed to provide sufficient funding for company operations if needed.

There is no liquidity and no established public market for our common stock and we may not be successful at obtaining a quotation on a recognized quotation service. In such an event it may be difficult to sell your shares. We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 70,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company had 25,401,942 shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

17

Investors and financial professionals should consider the potential risks related to the PCAOB’s lack of access to inspect PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China. Also, the SEC, U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other authorities often have substantial difficulties in conducting investigations and inspections or in bringing and enforcing actions against non-U.S. persons, including company directors and officers, in certain emerging markets, including China.

Our dual-class share structure with different voting rights will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our common shares may view as beneficial.

We have adopted a dual-class share structure such that our shares consist of common shares and Preferred Shares. In respect of matters requiring the votes of shareholders, each common share is entitled to one vote and each Preferred Share is entitled to fifty (50) votes. Each Preferred Shares may be converted into ten (10) common shares by its holder.

We have authorized 5,000,000 Preferred Shares and Honetech Inc, a Samoa company, beneficially owns all of the 832,000 issued and outstanding Preferred Shares. Mr. Yun-Kuang Kung through the appointment by Honetech Inc, exercise the voting power of these preferred stock. Therefore, Honetech Inc and Yun-Kuang Kung both control 41,600,000 votes, which constitute approximately 54.7% of the aggregate voting power of the Company assuming we are able to successfully sell all the 10,000,000 shares registered in this Registration Statement.

As a result of this dual-class share structure, the holder of our Preferred Shares will have concentrated control over the outcome of matters put to a vote of shareholders and have significant influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, liquidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. The holder of Preferred Shares may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company, which could have the effect of depriving our other shareholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of the common share. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover, or other change of control transactions that holders of common shares may view as beneficial.

Our common shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares. 

Our common shares may be “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broad or active public trading market for our common shares may not develop or be sustained. 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if the publish a negative report regarding our common shares, the price of our common shares and trading volume could decline.

Any trading market for our common shares may depend in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our common shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price of our common shares and the trading volume to decline.

The market price for our common shares may be volatile. 

The trading price of our common shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. A number of Chinese companies have listed or are in the process of listing their securities on U.S. stock markets. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility, including price declines in connection with their initial public offerings. The trading performances of these Chinese companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States in general and consequently may impact the trading performance of our common shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.

The market price for our common shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as: 

18

In addition, the securities market has from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies.  These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common shares. 

Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our common shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources. 

In order to raise sufficient funds to enhance operations, we may have to issue additional securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our shareholders.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, our current shareholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of common shares outstanding. We may have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our common shares. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future needs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plans, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Overview

VIVIC CORP. (“VIVC”) is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. Starting December 27, 2018, associated with the change of management, we expanded our business operations to include new types of marine tourism.  In addition, we started making efforts to enter into the businesses of constructing marinas and constructing yachts in the mainland China under the brand of Monte Fino. Monte Fino is a famous yacht brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

It has also developed and operates “Joy Wave”, an online yacht rental and leisure service business in Guangzhou, China. In the mainland China and Taiwan, primarily through the Internet, we provide third-party yacht and marine tourism services. This marine tourism involves high quality coastal tourism attractions in Taiwan and China including Hainan, Guangdong, Xiamen, and Quanzhou.

In the field of marine tourism, the number of yachts that can be rented has been increased through a yacht-sharing program system, which can provide services for more customers.

20

We also started to develop energy-saving yacht engines. Because it has advanced technology, it can achieve up to 50% energy efficiency. This energy-saving and innovative technology may be applied to new energy-saving engines for yachts. This innovative technology may bring favorable changes to the yachting industry and promote a low-carbon tourism for global environmental protection.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our business has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with the authority’s implementation of various preventive measures including, but not limited to, travel bans and restrictions, mandatory quarantine requirements, limited business activities and operations, and shelter-in-place orders. These measures have led to, and are continuing to lead to, business slowdowns or shutdowns worldwide. The global economy and financial markets have been adversely influenced as well. Considering the features of our business in the tourism and recreation industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a reduction in the demand for recreational trips and activities. Our business has been experiencing the downturn with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected that our business will be resumed, at least, after the abolition of the travel restrictions and mandatory quarantine requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recover ability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

We generated net revenues of $244,191 and $243,508 for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The increase in net revenues was primarily because the revenue deriving from consulting services rendered on sales and marketing of yachts increased.

The cost of revenue incurred were $366,852 and $3,913 for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The gross profits were $(122,661) and $239,595 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The falling gross profit in 2021 was essentially caused by the COVID- 19 pandemic, which unfavorably influenced our consulting service fee on sales and marketing of yachts.

The general and administrative expenses incurred were $1,263,691 and $1,261,761 for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. General and administrative expenses were basically the business expenses and corporate overhead.

Impairment loss was $87,414 and $0 for year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impairment loss in 2021 was primarily due to the impairment loss on goodwill.

Other income was $176,189 and $35,909 for year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily because the increase in subsidy income.

The net losses were $2,662,829 and $987,524 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The main reason for the increased losses was the $1,340,664 loss on loan settlement.

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered from net loss of $2,662,829 during the year ended December 31, 2021. Also, at December 31, 2021, the Company has incurred the accumulated deficit of $3,865,450 and working capital deficit of $499,399. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $80,306 of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, with respect to the ongoing and evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the outbreak has caused substantial disruption in international economies and global trades and if repercussions of the outbreak are prolonged, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The net cash used in operating activities were $(967,216) and (1,343,316) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For year ended December 31, 2021, the most affected the net cash used in operating activities were the net loss $2,662,829 offset by the loss on loan settlement of $1,340,664 and increase in receipt in advance $204,442. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the cash used in operating activities for year ended December 31, 2020 mostly were changes in deposits and prepayments $77,213, other receivable $30,362, accrued liabilities and other payable $235,871, deferred revenue $36,841 and income tax payable $6,388.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities were $350,297 and $2,921 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to an increase in cash used in acquisition of subsidiary and purchase of property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net cash provided by financing activities were $920,901 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and $1,302,101 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The net cash provided for these two periods was mostly attributed from the cash proceeds from loans and issuance of common stocks.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, the cash used in financing activities were repayment of related party $161,053 and the cash generated from financing activities included proceeds from loans $1,081,954. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the cash used in financing activities were repayment to related parties $93,715 and repayment of lease liability $7,032 and the cash generated from financing activities included proceed from issuance of common stock $1,308,316 and proceeds from promissory note $87,500, which was the COVID- 19 economic injury disaster loan and offered by The U.S. Small Business Administration.

Going Concern

The independent auditors' report accompanying our financial statements contain a note expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we have not established a recurring source of revenue to sufficiently cover its operating costs in the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement business and expansion plans. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recover ability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our management believes that the current actions to obtain additional funding and implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.  There are no assurances that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with business and (ii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long- term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders.  Further,  such  securities  might  have  rights,  preferences  or  privileges  senior to  our  common  stock.  Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any material commitments.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,      liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Accounting policies are critical and necessary to account for the material estimates and assumptions on our consolidated financial statements. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report.

·    Revenue recognition

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from the processing, distribution, and sale of its products.

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the

number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

·   Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2019-04”) which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” (“ASU 2019-05”) which provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019- 11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2019- 11”), which provides guidance around how to report expected recoveries. In February 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2020-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326) (“ASU 2020-02”) which provides updated guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments and delayed the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016- 13, ASU 2018- 19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019- 11 and ASU 2020-02 (collectively, “ASC 326”) are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on the Company’s recognition of financial instruments within the scope of the standard.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No 2019- 12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019- 12”).  ASU  2019- 12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019- 12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2019- 12 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2020-03”).   ASU 2020-03 improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics. ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The Company adopted ASU 2020-03 upon issuance, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

23

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.  The Company does not expect ASU  2020-04 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of VIVIC CORP.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of VIVIC CORP. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2021, and the Company currently has net working capital deficit, continued net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE－1ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND 

VIVIC CORP. (the "Company" or “VIVC”) is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. Starting December 27, 2018, associated with the change of management, we expanded our business operations to include new types of marine tourism.  In addition, the Company started making efforts to enter into the businesses of constructing marinas and constructing yachts in the mainland China under the brand of Monte Fino. Monte Fino is a famous yacht brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

It has also developed and operates “Joy Wave”(享浪)，an online yacht rental and leisure service business in Guangzhou, China. In the mainland China and Taiwan, primarily through the Internet, we provide third-party yacht and marine tourism services.  This marine tourism involves high quality coastal tourism attractions in Taiwan and China including Hainan, Guangdong, Xiamen, and Quanzhou.

In the field of marine tourism, the number of yachts that can be rented has been increased through a yacht-sharing program system, which can provide services for more customers.

The Company also started to develop energy-saving yacht engines. Because it has advanced technology, it can achieve up to 50% energy efficiency. This energy-saving and innovative technology may be applied to new energy-saving engines for yachts. This innovative technology may bring favorable changes to the yachting industry and promote a low-carbon tourism for global environmental protection.

On January 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Joint Venture and Cooperation Agreement to invest in Shenzhen Ocean Way Yachts Services Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has invested a total amount of $122,665 (RMB 780,000). On March 22, 2022, the Company sold its shares of Ocean Way and its subsidiaries to a third-party.

On May 11, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary namely Guangzhou Khashing Yacht Company Limited ceased its operation and de-registered.

On June 23, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary namely Vivic Corporation (Fujian) Co., Limited ceased its operation and de-registered.

On June 24, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary namely Khashing Yachts Industry Development (Hainan) Co. Ltd ceased its operation and de-registered.

On September 23, 2021, the Company acquired the additional 25% of Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co., Limited. As a result, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co., Limited becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Description of subsidiaries

VIVC and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

NOTE－2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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

·    Basis of presentation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

lUse of estimates 

33

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 periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

lBasis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VIVC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

lCash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

lAccounts 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 collectability. 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

lProperty, plant, and equipment 

Property, 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:

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have 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.

lIntangible assets, net 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represented the trademark registered in the PRC and purchased software which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.

lRevenue recognition 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from the processing, distribution, and sale of its products.

lComprehensive 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 consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), 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.

lIncome taxes 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

34

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

lForeign currencies translation 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.

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 and subsidiaries are operating in PRC and Hong Kong maintain their books and record in their local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit).

Translation of amounts from RMB and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

lLease 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

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.

The Company made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component and the related non-lease components are accounted for together as a single component.

lNoncontrolling interest 

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated net loss attributable to the its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

lNet loss per share 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

lRelated parties 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

lConcentrations and credit risk 

35

The Company’s principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, including amounts held in money market accounts. The Company places cash deposits with a federally insured financial institution. The Company maintains its cash at banks and financial institutions it considers to be of high credit quality; however, the Company’s domestic cash deposits may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limit. Balances in excess of federally insured limitations may not be insured. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

lFair value of financial instruments 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and note payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of note payable approximate the carrying amount.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

lRecent accounting pronouncements 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016- 13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses  (Topic  326): Measurement  of Credit Losses  on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016- 13”).  ASU  2016- 13  amends  the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions and clarifies and amends existing guidance to promote consistent application among reporting entities. Depending on the amended guidance within this standard, adoption is to be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The new guidance clarifies the interactions between accounting standards that apply to equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Specifically, it addresses the accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

NOTE－3GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES 

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 has suffered from net loss of $2,662,829 during the year ended December 31, 2021. Also, as of December 31, 2021, the Company has incurred the accumulated deficits of $3,865,450 and working capital deficit of $499,339. In addition, with respect to the ongoing and evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the outbreak has caused substantial disruption in international economies and global trades and if repercussions of the outbreak are prolonged, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2022 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.

These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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.

NOTE－4BUSINESS COMBINATION 

On September 23, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 25% equity interest of Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (the “Acquisition”). The total consideration of the acquisition was $107,336.

The purchase price allocation resulted in $89,559 of goodwill, as below:

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 expended as incurred in general and administrative expense.

The goodwill was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2021, based on the management’s estimate.

However, based on the agreements, Shaorong Zhuang, the other shareholder has the right to assign the majority of directors in the board and controls Ocean Way. As a result, Ocean Way is treated as an investment rather than subsidiary. As of December 31, 2021, a total of $122,665(RMB780,000) has been invested in Ocean Way.
