NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company experienced a net loss of $15,570 and incurred an accumulated deficit of $1,133,982 as of September 30, 2022. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through September 30, 2023 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders. 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 condensed 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 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
In preparing these condensed consolidated 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 periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of AJIA and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
· | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
(Unaudited)
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| | Expected useful lives |
Computer equipment | | 5 years |
Leasehold improvement | | 3 years |
Furniture & fixtures | | 3 years |
Computer software | | 3 years |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $4,302 and $768, respectively.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). Under ASC 350, annual or interim goodwill impairment testing is performed by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.
· | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605-35 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, all obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the formal arrangement and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenues on sales of its services, based on the terms of the customer agreement. The customer agreement takes the form of either a contract or a customer purchase order and each provides information with respect to the service being sold and the sales price. If the customer agreement does not have specific delivery or customer acceptance terms, revenue is recognized at the time the service is provided to the customer.
The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

| · | identify the contract with a customer; |
| | |
| · | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| | |
| · | determine the transaction price; |
| | |
| · | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| | |
| · | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
· | Comprehensive income or loss |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income or loss, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income or loss is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
The provision for income taxes is 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.
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 did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to local and various foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns remain open subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic 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.
· | 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.

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.
· | Stock-based compensation |
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
For non-employee stock-based compensation, the Company has adopted ASC 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting which expands on the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring services from non-employees and requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or the fair value of the services at the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 718.
· | Concentration of credit risk |
The Company is subject to credit risk through its accounts receivable consisting primarily of amounts due from franchisees for royalty income, and other products. The financial condition of these franchisees is largely dependent upon the underlying business trends of our brands and market conditions within the vending industry. This concentration of credit risk is mitigated, in part, by the large number of franchisees spread over a large geographical area and the short-term nature of the receivables.

· | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, “Commitments” to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
· | Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, prepayments and other receivables, accounts 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.
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 |
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.
· | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.
NOTE 5 – AMOUNTS DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, amounts due to related parties represented salary payables and temporary advances made by a director of the Company, Ms. WAN Yin Ling, and shareholders of the Company, Mr. WONG Bik Chun and Mr. POON Wai Han, which were unsecured, interest-free and had no fixed terms of repayment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
(Unaudited)
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 there is one individual customer who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues. This customer accounted for 12% and 82% of the Company’s revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The customer is located in Hong Kong.
(b) Major vendors
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 there is one individual vendor who accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues. The vendor accounted for 55% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, no single vendor accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.
The vendor is located in Hong Kong.
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in HK$ and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in HK$. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and HK$. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of September 30, 2022, there were no commitments and contingencies involved.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. The words “anticipated,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predicts,” potential,” continue,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Overview
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
| • | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| • | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
| • | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and |
| • | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Doing Business in China and Hong Kong Corporate Overview
Ajia Innogroup Holdings Ltd. is a Nevada holding company that conducts all of its operations and operates its business in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Hong Kong, through its subsidiaries, in particular, (collectively the “Operating Subsidiaries”). Investors in our ordinary shares should be aware that they are not permitted to directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating entities. Investors can only purchase equity solely Ajia Innogroup Holdings Ltd. which owns the majority equity interests in our Operating Subsidiaries.
Because of our corporate structure, we as well as the investors are subject to unique risks due to uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations. We are also subject to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government in this regard. We may also be subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies including the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure in the future, and this would likely result in a material change in our financial performance, our results of operations, our actual operations in China, and/or the value of our ordinary shares, which could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to having all of our operations in China. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company, such as us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on U.S. or other foreign exchanges. For example, we may face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, as well as oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy. Such risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to securities regulation, data protection, cybersecurity and mergers and acquisitions and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations with little advance notice that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Government actions in the future could significantly affect economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to materially change our operating activities or divest ourselves of any interests we hold in Chinese assets. Our business may be subject to various government and regulatory interference. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry.
Given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
Additionally, more stringent criteria have been imposed by the SEC and the PCAOB, recently, our securities may be prohibited from trading if our auditor cannot be fully inspected. As of the date of the report, J&S Associate, our auditor, is not subject to the determinations as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.
As of September 2022, we have disposed of our operation in the PRC, and operate primarily from our Hong Kong based subsidiaries. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us through our subsidiaries in Hong Kong, only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. As of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure since at least July 1, 2020. The PRC Subsidiaries have not transferred cash or other assets to the Company, including by way of dividends. The Company does not currently plan or anticipate transferring cash or other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to our U.S. investors.

ACSA has planned to acquire or become a business partner in insurance and finance industries, which includes licensed insurance brokerage, trust servicing consulting team and licensed money lender in Hong Kong. ACSA owned 51% of Tangent Asia Pacific Finance Ltd (“TAPF”), a licensed money lender in Hong Kong and willing to develop money lending in Hong Kong and globally. TAPF focuses on the money lending business on second mortgage on property market and lending on crypto assets as collateral that seeks for 8% to 10% return on principle per annum. The Company believes that the finance business in Hong Kong is profitable and has great potential because of the increasing demand for lending on second mortgages on property and cryptocurrency assets.
In June 2021, ACSA purchased 51% shares of Jia Yu Insurance Finance limited (“JYIF”), which is a licensed Insurance brokerage firm in Hong Kong. JYIF’s primary role is to provide local lump sum universal life, annuity assurance and offshore insurance products both life and non-life, which include compliant US PPLI, UL, and IUL policies, to designated clients asset growth purposes with complied tax solutions. There is a growing need and demand for Asian clients to purchase compliant PPLI, UL, and IUL policies in order to receive tax benefits and investment returns, and these products are becoming increasingly popular. The Company utilizes Hong Kong as a hub to organize US PPLI, UL, and IUL policies for high-net-worth clients from China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia. PPLI, IUL, and UL policies are increasingly in demand, and the Company has a professional technical team as well as US lawyers and tax advisors on hand to service these clients as a one-stop shop for all their insurance needs.
In 2021, Guangzhou Shengjia Trading Co., Ltd (“GST”), subsidiary of AJIA, aims to provide back-end support on project called “Easy Picture Mobile Application” (“Easy Picture”). Easy Picture is an application for mobile photos software for end customers who want to take qualified photos to apply for visas to China. Easy Picture is an accessible cost saving application offering user-friendly interface. GST has signed up agreement with a travel agency to use this Easy Picture App, however, execution of the business has been delayed due to COVID-19 and resulting closure of travel.

Business Plan
In September 2017, the Company began exploring a business plan for a sales system for food and beverage products also sometimes referred to as a catering integration system. The system consists of a website and app which offers menu and ordering systems for end users, which predominantly consists of restaurants and food vendors. Its catering integration system has a crossover sales promotion program with our restaurants and food suppliers’ members to set up an incentive program for their seasonal and festival sales to meet with the HK Government consumption vouchers scheme during the COVID-19. The Company generates revenue from the licensing of its sales system and we provide all necessary training to restaurant staff, system maintenance and updates.
On December 1, 2017, the Company acquired a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in a collection code project (“Project”), the purpose of which is to improve the marketability and market penetration of Alipay Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Alipay”) collection code system. The Company plans to acquire additional interest in this project as the project develops.
On October 15, 2020, the Company ratified entry into a Memorandum of Understanding with Union Patron Limited for the formation of holding joint venture company, AJIA Corporate Systems Architecture Solution Ltd (“Ajia Corporate”), which the Company shall own a 51% interest in. Ajia Corporate is a company registered in Hong Kong and intends to enter a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to expand its business developments in the following areas:
1. | Big Data Strategic enterprise solution, |
2. | Cloud and digital trading solution, |
3. | Combined enterprise syndication planning and solution, and |
4. | E-compliance system and enterprise solutions. |
The Company’s insurance brokerage firm, Jia Yu Insurance Finance limited (“JYIF”), in which Ajia Corporate owns 51% interest, is a licensed brokerage firm in Hong Kong. JYIF’s primary role is to design and place insurance for high net worth clients in Asia who either reside or plan to reside abroad. JYIF offers local lump sum universal life, annuity assurance, and offshore insurance products (both life and non-life), which include compliant US PPLI, UL, and IUL policies, to those designated clients for asset growth purposes (as well as other commercial reasons and purposes).
In June 2022, the Company purchased 100% shares of Union Passenger Limited (“UPL), a company incorporated in Hong Kong. According to the acquisition agreement, the Company will appoint UPL as its exclusive partner for the promotion of Company’s catering, services and total solutions for restaurants in Asia (“Products”). The Company shall share 100% of the profits and losses of the offering of Products to third party customers which are introduced by UPL.
Principal Products, Services and Their Markets
In the previous year, our business plan consisted of the following three primary segments: 1) the sales and licensing of our point of sales system for food and beverage products also sometimes referred to as a catering integration system, which we offer in Hong Kong, 2) our insurance private placement operations through Ajia Corporate Systems Architecture Solution Limited (“ACSA”), and 3) our Easy Picture application. We hope to expand our markets outside of Hong Kong in the future.
Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Services
Ajia currently has no new publicly announced products or services.
Competitive Business Conditions and Strategy; Position in the Industry
Ajia intends to establish itself as a competitive company in the point of sale technology market. Ajia’s main competitors are firms offering similar technologies and services. Our largest competitors are Multiable and MasterSoft.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Agreements or Contracts
As part of our business, we will seek to protect our intellectual property rights in various ways, including through trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, including know-how, patents, patent applications, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights. At this time, however, there are no aspects of our business plan which require a patent, trademark, or product license. We have not entered into any vendor agreements or contracts that give or could give rise to any obligations or concessions.
Regulatory Permission
We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, however, if our subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on a U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and when such permission is obtained, whether it will be rescinded. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC federal or local government to list on U.S. exchanges and has not received any denial to list on a U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. If we are subsequently advised by any Chinese authorities that permission for this offering and/or listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market was required, we may not be able to obtain such permission in a timely manner, if at all. If this risk occurs, our ability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value or become worthless.
Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Pursuant to the Opinions, Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. Numerous regulations, guidelines and other measures are expected to be adopted under the umbrella of or in addition to the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law. As of the date of this report, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued. As a result, the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities remain unclear on how they will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities.
On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China jointly with the relevant authorities formally published Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which will took effect on February 15, 2022 and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020). Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) stipulates that operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services, and online platform operator (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country. Given that: (i) we do not possess personal information on more than one million users in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities, we would not be required to apply for a cybersecurity review under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021).
Our PRC subsidiary was disposed of on September 1, 2022 and we do not believe the Company or its PRC subsidiary are or will become subject to enhanced cybersecurity review or investigation. Further, while we continue to have operations in Hong Kong through the Hong Kong subsidiaries, we believe that our operations are not affected by this since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any. It is also highly uncertain what the potential impacts such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operations, its ability to accept foreign investments and the listing of our Shares on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. If certain PRC laws and regulations were to become applicable to a company such as us in the future, the application of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our common Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless.
If the CSRC, CAC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals, we may be unable to obtain such approvals and we may face sanctions by the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to seek their approval which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and be worthless.
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
U.S. laws and regulations, including the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or HFCAA, may restrict or eliminate our ability to complete a business combination with certain companies, particularly those acquisition candidates with substantial operations in China.
On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. An identified issuer will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. In June 2021, the Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if signed into law, would reduce the time period for the delisting of foreign companies under the HFCAA to two consecutive years instead of three years. If our auditor cannot be inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, for two consecutive years, the trading of our securities on any U.S. national securities exchanges, as well as any over-the-counter trading in the U.S., will be prohibited. Additionally, and as a result of a failure to be inspected, the exchange on which we are then listed may determine to delist our securities.
On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, J&S Associate, our auditor, is not subject to the determinations as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.
Results of Operations
Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, COVID-19 affected the operational and financial performance of the Company: Hong Kong, PRC, and United States national economic shutdown that was imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19. Both global and local markets have suffered huge public and private financial and economic losses. The closures resulting from COVID have required management to focus on making rapid decisions to protect employees, address new customers’ concerns and needs and shareholder support. Management has had to readjust and act-Resolve, Resilience, Return, Reimagination, and Reform- both in order to address to immediate crisis and to prepare for the next normal after the battle against coronavirus has been won.
As of September 30, 2022, we suffered from a working capital deficit of $847,496. As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders or other capital sources. Management believes that the continuing financial support from the existing shareholders and external financing will provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due. Our 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.
The following table sets forth certain operational data for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to September 30, 2021:

Revenues
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we have derived income of $200,170 (2021: $24,512).

Management anticipates revenues to continue to grow as the revenue trends are positive month over month.

The Company’s cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is $151,263 and for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is $3,084.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $60,721, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $15,570, depreciation of plant and equipment of $4,302, loss on disposal of a subsidiary of $30,809, offset by an increase in account receivables of $72,151 and an increase in accounts payable of $191,292 and decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities of $106,881.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $82,859, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $73,342, depreciation of plant and equipment of $768, offset by an increase in prepayments and other receivables of $1,578 and a decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities of $8,707.
We expect to continue to rely on cash generated through financing from our existing shareholders and private placements of our securities, however, to finance our operations and future acquisitions.
Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Investing Activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $9,629 consisting primarily of the cash outflow from disposal of a subsidiary of $304 and purchase of plant and equipment of $9,325.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by investing activities was $2,432 from acquisition of a subsidiary.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activity.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $96,745 consisting primarily of advances from a director.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $88,823 consisting primarily of advances from a director.
In the early stage of development, we have limited business activity to generate revenue from our operations. We will require additional funds to fully implement our plans. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in the dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We currently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, a successful marketing and promotion program and, further in the future, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. We will require additional funds to maintain our reporting status with the SEC and remain in good standing with the state of Nevada.
Going Concern
We have incurred net loss since our inception on March 19, 2014 through September 30, 2022 and have completed only the preliminary stages of our business plan. We anticipate incurring additional losses before realizing any revenues and will depend on additional financing in order to meet our continuing obligations and ultimately, to attain profitability. Our ability to obtain additional financing, whether through the issuance of additional equity or through the assumption of debt, is uncertain. Accordingly, our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022 includes an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern, including additional information contained in the notes to our financial statements describing the circumstances leading to this disclosure. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Information for this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include but are not limited to accounting for depreciation and amortization, current and deferred income taxes, deferred costs, accruals and contingencies, carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets, collectability of notes receivable, the fair value of common stock and the estimated fair value of stock options and warrants. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas, and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Part I, item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022. In the meantime, management has appointed external consultants to minimize the risk and ascertain compliance with requirements.
Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness in our 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.
During the year ended June 30, 2022 and the period ended September 30, 2022, management identified the following weaknesses, which were deemed to be material weaknesses in internal controls:
1 Due to the size of the Company and available resources, there are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting function, which results in a lack of segregation of duties.
2. We did not implement appropriate information technology controls - As at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, 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 data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of its business. Although the Company cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, it makes provision for potential liabilities when it deems them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and legal advice and may be adjusted from time to time according to developments.
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
