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%. As of the date of this report, renovation was completed and the branch was in operation.

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. And we had applied to renew with Malaysia Intellectual Property Office for our trademark. 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.

 

our new menu design (All prices are shown in Malaysia Ringgit)

 

We currently operates 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. We currently have 22 suppliers for raw materials and food ingredient and 3 suppliers for packaging materials. We do not currently have a principal supplier. Currently, we do not have any agreement with any of our suppliers. To the best of our knowledge, all of our material suppliers are independent third parties and none of our suppliers are controlled by employees of the Company.

 

 

one of our refrigerator trucks

 

 

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.

 

 

some of our new dishes

 

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.

 

 

Marketing

 

The Company, through our subsidiary SH Dessert Sdn Bhd has been cooperating with online food delivery companies to have our desserts displayed on their platforms in order to promote that our desserts may be delivered by their companies, such as Foodpanda and Grabfood.

 

Our promotional materials are printed and placed on every table of our restaurants. We print new banners and update our promotional materials every month. In the future, we intend to further enhance our brand recognition by increasing our marketing efforts by placing advertisements across various media channels, including social media and internet platforms.

 

We plan to hire a marketing officer in order to organize our marketing campaigns and establish public awareness of the Company, however, such plans have not yet been determined in sufficient detail to outline at this time and remain under development.

 

Future Plan

 

The Company, through Lucky Star F&B Sdn Bhd, has successfully acquired a halal certificate on food processed, prepared and packaged in the central kitchen, which has allowed the Company to further structure its future plans. The Company intends to, through SH Dessert Sdn Bhd, acquire halal certificates on food prepared and served in all of our restaurants and delivered through various food delivery platforms. The Company has yet to submit the application of SH Dessert Sdn Bhd, as the Company needs further funding to renovate and acquire new equipment to meet the requirements ordained by JAKIM.

 

We also anticipate acquiring new equipment for the central kitchen, such as a new refrigerator, truck, and cooking equipment. This will enhance the stability of the central kitchen output, efficiency of the production lines, logistics and inventory storage. However, such acquisition will depend on the expected demand of our food.

 

We also intend to further expand our current restaurant network by opening two additional restaurants in strategic shopping malls and the central business district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to enlarge our market share and increase geographic coverage by the end of this upcoming fiscal year. Furthermore, we believe that hiring ten to fifteen employees will be sufficient to support our future operations, specifically Malay ethnic to comply with JAKIM requirements. However, we have yet to conclude the area we intended to venture into as we remain cautious on the decisions to be made. Furthermore, we intend to allocate funds to continue develop new dishes for boost our revenue.

 

 

Employees

 

As of date of this report, we have twenty-six full-time employees.

 

We are required to contribute to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) under a defined contribution pension plan for all eligible employees in Malaysia between the ages of eighteen and seventy. We are required to contribute a specified percentage of the participant’s income based on their ages and wage level. The participants are entitled to all of our contributions together with accrued returns regardless of their length of service with the Company.

 

The EPF is a social security institution formed according to the Laws of Malaysia, Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 (Act 452) which provides retirement benefits for members through management of their savings in an efficient and reliable manner. The EPF also provides a convenient framework for employers to meet their statutory and moral obligations to their employees.

 

We intend to hire more staff to assist in the development and execution of our business operations.

 

We do not presently have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our employee, Officer and/or Director.

 

Government Regulation

 

The Company’s operations are subject to several laws and regulations other than the aforementioned JAKIM regulation, enacted by the Malaysia government, which includes but is not limited to:

 

The Food Act 1983 is an Act to protect the public against health hazards and fraud in the preparation, sale and use of food, and for matters incidental thereto or connected therewith. It outlined the authority and procedure where officers authorized by the Minister are empowered to conduct routine checks and, if necessary, sample collection to determine whether the level of hygiene of restaurants is satisfactory and whether food prepared is fit for human consumption at the discretion of officer. Part of the Food Act 1983 regulates the operation of our restaurant including but not limited following:

 

Pursuant to section 11 of Food Act 1983, if in the opinion of officer, the premise fails to comply with sanitary and hygienic requirements, the officer may in writing order the closure of such premise where food is prepared.

 

Pursuant to section 12 of Food Act 1983, notification of the name and occupation of any person who has been convicted of any offence against this Act or any regulation made thereunder together with his place or places of business, the nature of the offence and the fine, forfeiture, or other penalty inflicted shall, if the court so orders, be published in any newspaper circulating in Malaysia.

 

Food Regulation 1985 outlined individual ingredients requirements in terms of labeling, including additive and nutrients supplements. Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any provisions of these Regulations commits an offence and subject to a fine not exceeding Malaysia Ringgit Five Thousand (Approximately One Thousand Two Hundred and Ten United States Dollars) or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

 

Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 is a regulation enacted according to Section 34 of the Food Act 1983 and was enacted by the Malaysia government on February 28, 2009.

We have issued 1,000,000 common shares and no preferred shares since October 17, 2018. There are no outstanding options or warrants or securities that are convertible into shares of common stock.

 

Share Holders

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock par value, $0.0001 issued and outstanding which owned by 53 shareholders.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The Company has appointed Globex Transfer, LLC as transfer agent, with address 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202 Deltona, FL 32725 and can be reached at (813) 344-4490.

 

Penny Stock Regulations

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

 

Dividend Policy

 

Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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, 2021. 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, 2021.

 

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:

 

	●	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
	●	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
	●	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

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, 2021. 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, 2021, 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, 2021.

 

1.	We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Chief Executive Officer and Director act in the capacity of the Audit Committee and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
2.	We do not have Written Policies & Procedures – Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions and thus failed to properly record the Private Placement or disclose such transactions in its SEC filings in a timely manner.
3.	We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at March 31, 2021, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

 

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, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

1.	We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. The accounting personnel is responsible for reviewing the financing activities, facilitate the approval of the financing, record the information regarding the financing, and submit SEC filing related documents to our legal counsel in order to comply with the filing requirements of SEC.
2.	We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions.
3.	We intend to add staff members to our management team for making sure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and the staff members will have segregated responsibilities with regard to these responsibilities.

 

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2021.

 

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:

 

1.	bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2.	any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
3.	being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
4.	being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
5.	Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;

 

 

6.	Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;
7.	Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
8.	Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

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) 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, 2021.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 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, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the each of two years in the year ended of March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of two years in the year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, for the year ended March 31, 2021 the Company has net capital and working capital deficit. 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.

 

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.

 

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 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.

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.

 

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 Malaysia is currently deposit in Public Bank Berhad and Standard Chartered Bank (Malaysia) Berhad, and there is a 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, which is equivalent to $60,349, if the aforementioned 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.

 

 

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 Malaysian Ringgits (“MYR”) and United States Dollars (“US$”), 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 years:

 

		For the year ended March 31
		2021				2020
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate			4.14				4.31
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate			4.16				4.17

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 March 31, 2021, and 2020, 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As required by the standard, the Company adopted the provisions of the new standard effective April 1, 2019, using the required modified retrospective approach. The adoption do not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

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 $1,156,263 and $1,144,401 as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company suffered from a net loss of $11,862 and $215,815 respectively. Furthermore, the Company recorded a negative working capital of $769,069 and $1,029,235 as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 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 major 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.
