2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Below is the organization chart of the Group.

 

 

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

COVID-19 outbreak

 

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our services and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Our deposit in Hong Kong is currently deposit in CMB Wing Lung Bank Limited, and there is a Deposit Protection Scheme protects our eligible deposits held with bank in Hong Kong which is members of the Scheme. The scheme will pay us a compensation up to a limit of Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) 500,000, approximately $64,516, if CMB Wing Lung Bank fails.

 

Our deposit in Malaysia is currently deposit in Public Bank Berhad, United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd and Malayan Banking Berhad. Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia protects our eligible deposits held with bank in Malaysia which is members of the Scheme. The scheme will pay a compensation up to a limit of Malaysia Ringgit (“MYR”) 250,000 per deposit per member bank, approximately $59,623 if the banks fails.

 

Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation and amortization provided using the straight-line method over the following periods:

 

Asset Categories		Depreciation Periods
Renovation		over the remaining lease period
Office and kitchen equipment		10 years
Motor vehicle		5 years

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consisting of products available for sell, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is generated through sale of goods and delivery services. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

 

(i) identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;

 

(ii) determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;

 

(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;

 

(iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and

 

(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company records revenue from the sale of product upon shipment or delivery of the products to the customer. The Company doesn’t allow return of the products purchased or refund unless the food delivered is spoilt.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes the purchase cost of raw material for manufacturing and distribute to customers and packing materials. It includes purchasing and receiving costs, internal transfer costs, other costs of distribution network, opening and closing inventory net off discount received and return outwards in cost of revenue.

 

Income tax expense

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 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.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclosed 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 conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in their own jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

 

Lease

 

The Company officially adopted ASC 842 for the period on and after April 1, 2019 as permitted by ASU 2016-02. ASC 842 originally required all entities to use a “modified retrospective” transition approach that is intended to maximize comparability and be less complex than a full retrospective approach. On July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02 of which permits entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842. As permitted by ASU 2018-11, the Company elect not to recast comparative periods, thusly.

 

Foreign 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 statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary maintains its books and record in the respective local currency, Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Malaysian Ringgits (“MYR”), which is the respective functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

 

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 period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

		For the nine months ended December 31
		2020				2019
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate			4.02				4.09
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate			4.19				4.16
Period-end/Period-average HK$ : US$1 exchange rate			7.75				7.75

 

Related 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 operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to related parties and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

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:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did the Company have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

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

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will be recognized as allowances for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

3. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company having accumulated deficit of $1,304,407 and $1,144,401 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Furthermore, the Company recorded a negative working capital of $707,252 and $1,029,235 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 respectively.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company suffered from a net loss of $160,006 and $177,020 respectively.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded operating cash outflows of $187,185 and $149,549 in operating activities respectively.

 

The Company’s cash position is not significant to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire financial support from its shareholder.

 

These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ending December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
