HWH International Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate a food and beverage (“F&B”) business in Singapore and South Korea. The F&B business operates four cafés, two of which are located in South Korea and two in Singapore, as well as an online healthy food store serving customers in Singapore. The Company previously operated a membership model in which individuals paid an upfront membership fee to become members. As members, these individuals received discounted access to products and services offered by the Company’s affiliates. The Company had approximately 9,000 members, primarily in South Korea. Currently, this membership business has been temporarily suspended, however the Company intends to resume this business following the ongoing restructuring of the membership model.

 

HWH International Inc. was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 under the name Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company consummated the Business Combination on January 9, 2024 and changed its name from “Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “HWH International Inc.” The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “HWH Nevada” or “Target”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Company and Merger Sub are sometimes referred to collectively as the “ACAX Parties.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and the Target was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into HWH Nevada, with the Target surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on January 9, 2024, the Company changed its name to “HWH International Inc.” The board of directors of the Company (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company.

 

The Target was owned and controlled by certain member officers and directors of the Company and its sponsor. The Merger was consummated following the receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of the Target and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

 

The total consideration paid at Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) by the Company to the Target’s shareholders was $125,000,000, and was payable in shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of the Company Common Stock paid to the shareholders of the Target as Merger Consideration was 12,500,000, with each share being valued at $10.00.

Through November 30, 2023, HWH (then known as Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.) reported on a twelve-month fiscal year that ended on November 30. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s fiscal year end was changed from November 30 to December 31. As a result of this change, the Company had a one-month transition period that began on December 1, 2023 and ended on December 31, 2023. For details see note 18 - Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

 

The following chart describes the Company’s ownership of various subsidiaries:

 

 

The Company mainly focuses on the F&B business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company’s business was generated by its wholly owned subsidiaries, 0% and 2% from HWH World Inc. (“HWH Korea”), respectively, and 100% and 98% from F&B business, respectively. F&B business was generated by the following subsidiaries at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively: 37% and 48% from Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd (“F&B1”), 5% and 6% from Hapi Café Korea Inc.(“HCKI”), 20% and 22% from Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. (“HCSGPL”), 9% and 22% from Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) and 29% and 0% from Ketomei Pte.

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Functional and Reporting Currency

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“$”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia are maintained in their local currencies, the Korean Won (₩), Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $832,368 and $1,159,201 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Investments held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0 and $21 million, respectively, in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on January 9, 2024, Class A Common Stock stockholders redeemed 1,942,108 shares for approximately $21 million held in the Trust Account. The Trust Account was closed in May 2024.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Investment Securities at Cost

 

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is an estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

 

Leases

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 842 in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

 

Right-of-use of assets

 

The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

 

8
 

 

Lease liabilities

 

Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly of fixed lease payments.

 

Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

 

The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in statement of operations. Depreciation is computed by the reducing balance method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT  

Office Equipment   3 – 5 years
Furniture and Fittings   3 – 5 years
Kitchen Equipment   3 – 5 years
Operating Equipment   3 – 5 years
Leasehold Improvements   Shorter of lease life or asset life

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

As at September 30, 2024, the Company has determined the value-in-use to be zero based on the discounted cash flow of the cash generating unit (“CGU”), which involves the cash flow projections covering a 3-year period and the fair value less cost of disposal to be zero considering the re-sale value of these assets to be insignificant. Based on the assessment, the recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to be zero, which was below the carrying amount of these non-financial assets. Accordingly, impairment losses on plant and equipment of $97,594 are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the financial year ended September 30, 2024.

 

Deposit

 

Deposit represents rental deposit paid for the office and the cafes used.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:

 

(1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company generates its revenue primarily from membership fees, product sales and F&B business.

 

Membership Fee: The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time upon joining the membership and is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement which is for a one-year period. The Company recognizes revenue from membership fee over the one-year period of the membership.

 

9
 

 

Product Sales: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its members. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

 

If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a member has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product and membership returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were both $0. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0 and $1,184, respectively. The table below represents a breakout of the returns related to product sales and the returns related to memberships:

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, assets and liabilities approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The assets and liabilities approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. At September 30, 2024 there were 4,549,370 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. At September 30, 2023 there were 4,549,375 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding and 909,875 potentially dilutive underlying rights.

 

Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

 

On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $123,780 and $8,666, respectively.

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss, a loss from operations and negative cash flow from operations as we expanded our business of operating cafés and restructured our membership business.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, geographical specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion shall consist of plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes we currently do not own, as we look to add Hapi Cafes over the next two (2) years. If we take over these existing leases, it will require a minimum investment for each lease we take over for each Hapi Café. There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our plans as laid out above.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding amounts related to the Credit Facility and the credit remains $700,000 available to draw as on September 30, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Company may at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any of the Company’s assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company.

 

The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset International Limited and Alset Inc., a direct and indirect majority owner of the Company, respectively. Alset International Limited and Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent accounting pronouncement

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - MERGER WITH HWH INTERNATIONAL INC. (A NEVADA CORPORATION)

 

HWH International Inc. (f.k.a. Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.; “SPAC”, the “Company”) was a special purpose acquisition company, incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On January 9, 2024, the Company, HWH International Inc. (a Nevada corporation, “HWH Nevada”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc. consummated the merger (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated as of September 9, 2022.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a Reverse Recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Reverse Recapitalization, HWH Nevada stockholders comprise a majority of voting power on the Company, most of senior management of HWH Nevada continued as senior management of the combined company and identified a majority of the members of the board of directors of the combined company, both companies are under common control; and HWH Nevada’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Company is considered to be a continuation of HWH Nevada, with the net identifiable assets of SPAC deemed to have been acquired by HWH Nevada in exchange for HWH Nevada common shares accompanied by a recapitalization, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.

  ● 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were delivered as consideration in the Business Combination
     
  ● 149,443 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to a third party as payment for $1,509,375 of underwriting compensation.

NOTE 4 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

 

Accounts receivable, net at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $35,067, $28,611, $24,189 and $9,070, respectively, represent collection received by the credit card processor in F&B business and rent receivable. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers (including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounts receivable considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was an immaterial amount. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

NOTE 5 — PREPAID COMMISSIONS

 

During the normal course of business, the Company pays commission to its members for product sales as well as membership sales. Prepaid commissions are recorded for commissions paid on membership sales and recognized as an expense over the same period as the related membership revenue.

NOTE 8 — INVESTMENTS AT COST

 

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. No impairment was recorded as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024:

 

   Fair Value Measurement Using   Amount at 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
September 30, 2024                    
Assets                    
Warrants – SHRG  $-   $3,891   $-   $3,891 
Convertible loans receivable – SHRG   -    739,590    -   739,590 
                     
Total Investment in securities at Fair Value  $-   $743,481   $-   $743,481 

 

The fair value of the SHRG warrants under level 2 category as of September 30, 2024 was calculated using a binomial option pricing model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   September 30, 2024 
     
Stock price  $0.1000 
Exercise price  $1.6800 
Risk free interest rate   3.56%
Annualized volatility   167.12%
Dividend Yield  $0.00%
Year to maturity   4.46 

 

The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow with the following assumptions:

 

   March 18, 2024   May 9, 2024   June 6, 2024   August 13, 2024 
   As of September 30, 2024 
CN#  1   2   3   4 
Issued date  March 18, 2024   May 9, 2024   June 6, 2024   August 13, 2024 
Risk-free interest rate   3.598%   3.585%   3.578%   3.561%
Expected life   2.46 year    2.60 year    2.68 year    2.87 year 
Discount rate   6.00%   8.00%   8.00%   8.00%
Expected volatility   185.574%   185.574%   185.574%   185.574%
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%   0%   0%
                     
Fair value  $212,558   $224,894   $214,893   $87,245 

 

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

 

Revenue from F&B business amounting to approximately $555 and $2,209 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was related to corporate sales. Revenue from F&B business amounting to approximately $3,904 and $4,981 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was related to corporate sales.

NOTE 14 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The total amount of authorized capital stock of the Company is 56,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 55,000,000 shares of common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock . As of September 30, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

The Company previously had shares of Class B common stock outstanding, which automatically converted into Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination, on a one-for-one basis.

 

Rights - Each holder of a right automatically received one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

 

19
 

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

 

  ● in whole and not in part;
     
  ● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
     
  ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period to each warrant holder; and
     
  ● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

 

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

This agreement was effective at the closing of the Business Combination on January 9, 2024. The 149,443 shares were issued at the price of $10.10, totaling the amount of $1,509,375. The fair value of the Company shares at issuance on January 9, 2024 was $2.82 per share or $421,429. No gain or loss was recognized upon issuance of the shares on January 9, 2024 as this was an adjustment to prior underwriting costs accounted for in equity.

 

NOTE 15 —LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases for its office spaces, one F&B store in South Korea and two F&B stores in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company ceased its operations of F&BPLQ and recorded a gain on termination of the operating lease of $248, which is included in other income on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The related lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Since the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined, management uses a discount rate based on the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.92 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 3.78%.

 

The Company has also utilized the following practical expedients:

 

  ● Short-term leases – for leases that are for a period of 12 months or less, the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842.
     
  ● For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

Overview

 

Our newly acquired business started in South Korea with a single-level membership marketing model with limited products for sale. We registered the business on April 1, 2019, and we started selling founders package on July 1, 2019. While we had been profitable and growing, the COVID-19 pandemic had a material adverse effect on such growth and profits. Due to the decline in membership and revenue starting in 2020, we reorganized our internal staff by adding a broader team in each of the United States, Hong Kong and Singapore with direct selling and business development experience to head up and expand our operations across various geographies and revised our business plan to a tiered membership model in 2022, with more products and services to be made available to our members. We created a new corporate structure, with subsidiaries in the U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore, that would allow for quick geographical expansion and turned our focus to the Hapi Café development.

 

We have 9,811 individuals with founding member status. This is a privileged class that will be able to enjoy continuous membership benefits in time to come, given that they have trusted the Company and joined at an early stage. Such benefits include the ability to purchase new memberships, in the model described below, at a favorable rate to be determined by the Company. They will also continue to be able to earn affiliate commissions as they sell our products in the marketplace and enjoy discounted rates when visiting Hapi Cafés until further notice. The total number of founding members was capped at 10,000. The Company is in the midst of implementing a new membership model that operates on a yearly subscription basis. While we are not currently selling memberships, we intend to resume membership sales under this new model.

 

Members will get exclusive discounts on Hapi Marketplace products, priority invites to product launch events and other parties, and can earn passive income when a member’s referral signs up for membership or makes an initial purchase of Hapi Marketplace products through them.

 

Our operations include:

 

Hapi Marketplace. On November 4, 2024, the Company announced the launch of its business-to-consumer marketplace, Hapi Marketplace. Hapi Marketplace features a selection of over forty-seven product categories including wellness, elderly care, auto accessories and more. Launching first in the United States, we intend for Hapi Marketplace to expand in the near future to South Korea and Hong Kong, followed by further expansion across Asia.

 

The various aspects of the Hapi Marketplace will be launched in phases in different regions, each with their own timeline, depending on the completion of logistical aspects for implementation (i.e., payment gateway systems, business licenses, banking set up, import licenses, managerial resources, etc.) This will be an on-going process as we expand our product and service offering range.

 

There are also certain limited products currently for sale at our Hapi Cafés, including spaghetti, a gig-economy business book and certain skincare products.

 

25
 

 

Hapi Cafés, which are, and will be, in-person, location-based social experiences, offer members the opportunity to build a sense of community with like-minded customers who share a potential interest in our products. The cafes are designed to operate sustainably as standalone businesses. The cafes also seek to be an avenue to create awareness to and educate potential and existing members about the products and services of HWH, providing us with the chance to significantly increase our membership base as well as increase the amounts spent by our members on our affiliates’ products and services. Each of our cafés is a “Hapi Café.” We opened proof-of-concept Hapi Café locations in Seoul, the Republic of Korea and Singapore in May and July 2022, respectively, one more opened in Seoul, the Republic of Korea in May 2024, and plan to open additional Hapi Cafés as we beta test and further improve our business concept. We intend to grow our memberships as we grow the number of Hapi Cafés around the world. Hapi Cafe is positioned to be an integral part of HWH’s business model. In June 2024, the Company decision to close the café under F&BPLQ was driven by the unsustainable revenue it generated. We believe it is more strategic to refocus our efforts and resources on other business ventures that have greater growth potential.

 

Our travel business is in the planning stage as we are working with our affiliates to determine the market-by-market services. Through our travel business, we plan to offer exclusive access to unpublished rates and discounts on air travel, cruises, car rentals, hotels, and resorts for members.

 

Hapi Wealth Builder seeks to provide participants the opportunity to attend courses, workshops, and coaching sessions in person, fostering a collaborative learning environment for those dedicated to learning investment in equities and wealth-building strategies. The team has been diligently producing digital content for Hapi Wealth Builder and working to collaborate with the right partners to launch the program and make it available to members. Hapi Wealth will leverage the wealth of knowledge and experience of its leaders to make wealth building accessible and effective for its members. Our unique community-centric approach will offer members tools for making informed financial decisions while creating pathways for sustained growth.

 

On October 31, 2024, we announced that the Company has scheduled the launch of Hapi Wealth, a program dedicated to providing comprehensive education in equity investment and wealth-building strategies. A soft launch is currently scheduled for November 2024 in China and elsewhere in Asia, with the official launch set for January 2025. We are targeting a rollout in North America in 2025 as well.

 

To further support its mission, Hapi Wealth is opening its China headquarters, designed as a conducive environment for individuals to participate in tutorials and workshops. The hub will offer participants the opportunity to attend courses, workshops, and coaching sessions in person, fostering a collaborative learning environment for those dedicated to learning investment in equities and wealth-building strategies.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, contingencies, and equity compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales

 

Product Sales: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when a product is delivered to its member. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refund or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

 

If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. Allowances for product and membership returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were approximately $0 and $0, respectively. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were approximately $0 and $1,184, respectively.

 

Membership Fee: The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time of joining the membership and is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members with the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement, which is for a one-year period. The Company recognizes revenue from membership fee over the one-year period of membership.

 

Food and Beverage: The revenue received from food and beverage business in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $345,523 and $226,907, respectively. The revenue received from food and beverage business in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $966,515 and $609,900, respectively.

Revenue was $966,515 and $622,667 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Word of mouth, a social media presence, and the availability of meeting spaces are significant drivers of our revenue and revenue potential.

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenues increased from $86,435 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $185,654 in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cost of revenues increased from $237,824 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $478,436 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is a result of the increase in sales of F&B business.

 

Sales commissions decreased from $1,147 to $0 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, due to decrease in sale of memberships. Sales commissions decreased from $13,837 to $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, due to decrease in sale of memberships.

 

The gross margin increased from $140,472 to $159,869 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The gross margin increased from $384,843 to $488,079 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase of gross margin was caused by the increase in F&B revenue.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased from $570,043 to $487,394 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, due to general and administrative expenses decreased from $570,043 to $487,394 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Operating expenses increased from $1,888,900 to $2,637,517 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, due to general and administrative expenses increased from $1,888,900 to $2,271,325 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase of general and administrative expenses in 2024 compared with 2023 was mostly caused by the increase in the operating expenses for the food and beverage business in Korea and Singapore and the professional fees due to the 10-Q and S-4 filings.

 

Other income (expense)

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had other expenses of $209,618 compared to other income of $318,564 in the three months ended September 30, 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had other expenses of $127,865 compared to other income of $1,831,844 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is due to decline in interest income from $1,746,808 to $48,791 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

 

Net loss

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2024 the Company had net loss of $537,143 compared to $156,131 in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash has decreased from $1,159,201 as of December 31, 2023 to $832,368 as of September 30, 2024.

Our total assets have decreased from $23,710,684 as of December 31, 2023 to $2,920,066 as of September 30, 2024.

 

The Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, geographical specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion consists of plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes we currently do not own, as we look to add more Hapi Cafes over the next two (2) years. There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our plans as laid out above.

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding amounts related to the Credit Facility and the credit remains $700,000 available to draw as on September 30, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement. HWH may at any time during the term of the Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each Advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any HWH assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset International Limited and Alset Inc., a direct and indirect owner of the Company, respectively. Alset International Limited and Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Nasdaq Compliance

 

As previously reported, the Nasdaq Staff (the “Staff”) has notified the Company of certain deficiencies related to the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. These deficiencies included the following:

 

On February 22, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, the market value of its publicly held shares (the “MVPHS”) had been below the minimum $15,000,000 required for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the “Rule”). Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until August 20, 2024, to regain compliance with the Rule. However, the Company did not regain compliance with the Rule. On August 27, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff that the Company would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, unless the Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company filed the hearing request.

 

On March 7, 2024, we received notice from Nasdaq indicating that, because the market value of our common stock had been below $50,000,000 for the prior 37 consecutive business days, we no longer complied with the minimum market value of listed securities (the “MVLS”) requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 3, 2024, to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. The Company did not regain compliance. On September 9, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff that the matter of the MVLS deficiency would be considered at the Company’s hearing with the Panel.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company presented its compliance plan to the Panel at a hearing on October 15, 2024. On October 21, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Panel granting the Company an extension to phase down its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market and demonstrate compliance with the MVPHS and Stockholders’ Equity requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(5) and 5550(b)(1). The Company is working to complete the steps in its compliance plan and regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market within the Panel’s extension.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On February 3, 2022, the Company paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,725,000.

 

In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $3,018,750 in the aggregate, however, on December 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Satisfaction and Discharge of Indebtedness Agreement in connection with the Underwriting Agreement, under which in lieu of the Company tendering the full amount, the underwriters accepted a combination of $325,000 in cash paid upon the closing of the Business Combination, 149,443 shares of the Company’s common stock and a $1,184,375 promissory note as full satisfaction. This agreement was effective at the closing of Business Combination on January 9, 2024. Additionally, the Company has granted EF Hutton an irrevocable right of first refusal (the “ROFR”) to act as the sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at EF Hutton’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financing for a period commencing on the date of the satisfaction and ending twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the Business Combination.

 

Merger Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2023, the Company held the Special Meeting, at which the Company’s stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination. On the Closing Date, the parties consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Alset, Merger Sub, a Nevada corporation, and HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (and upon all other conditions pursuant to the Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived), on the Closing Date, (i) the Merger Agreement provides for the combination of HWH and Merger Sub under the Company, with HWH surviving as the Surviving Corporation (collectively, the “Merger”). At the consummation of the Merger, HWH will survive as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) the Company will change its name to “HWH International Inc.”

 

The transaction has closed, as all closing conditions as referenced in the Merger Agreement have either been met or waived by the parties. Certain closing conditions that have been waived by the parties, pursuant to the Merger Agreement include Section 8.1(i), which states “the aggregate cash available to the Company at the Closing from the Trust Account (after giving effect to the redemption of any shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company’s Proposals, but before giving effect to (i) the payment of the Outstanding Alset Transaction Expenses, and (ii) the payment of the Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses), shall equal or exceed Thirty Million dollars ($30,000,000); and 8.1(j), which states “upon the closing, the Company shall not have redeemed shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in the Offer in an amount that would cause the Company to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) under the Exchange Act).”

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On January 31, 2022 the Company, the Sponsor, and certain persons and entities holding securities of the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to register certain securities, including (i) all of the shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants held by the Sponsor, and the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, and (ii) the shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s common stock underlying warrants that were issued in the Private Placement on January 31, 2022. The Company is obligated to (a) file a resale registration statement to register such securities within 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, and (b) use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination.

Lock-Up Agreements

 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, each of the HWH Holders holding more than 5% of the HWH Common Stock and certain members of HWH’s management team will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company in substantially the form attached to the letter Agreement dated January 31, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”) (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”). Under the Lock-Up Agreement, each such holder will agree not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and with respect to the shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be received as part of the Merger Consideration by the HWH Holder (together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”), (A) ending on the earlier of nine months after the date of the Closing, the date on which the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (y) the date after the Closing on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in the Company for cash, securities or other property.

 

Termination of Subscription Agreement

 

On July 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP (“MSOF”), Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”) and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC, (“MSC”, and together with MSOF, MCP and MSTO, are referred to herein collectively as “Meteora”). The Subscription Agreement was subsequently terminated. The Company and Meteora entered into a Settlement Agreement as of April 11, 2024 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Meteora $200,000, and agreed that Meteora could retain $100,000 already paid to Meteora.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

 

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

 

The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to South Korea and which were approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the fluctuation of foreign currency transaction gain or loss was included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and South Korea will remain at approximately $2.7 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still impact the results of operations in 2024, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered in the future, the effect will also be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short term.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act 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 these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this exemption.

 

31
 

 

Controls and Procedures

 

We are not currently required to maintain an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer would we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this prospectus. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgment and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

 

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

 

In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, management determined that our company did not maintain effective controls over financial reporting due to having a limited staff with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience. Management determined that the ineffective controls over financial reporting constitute a material weakness. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel with financial accounting, GAAP and SEC experience.

 

This prospectus does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this prospectus.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate a food and beverage (“F&B”) business in Singapore and South Korea. The F&B business operates four cafés, two of which are located in South Korea and two in Singapore, as well as an online healthy food store serving customers in Singapore. The Company previously operated a membership model in which individuals paid an upfront membership fee to become members. As members, these individuals received discounted access to products and services offered by the Company’s affiliates. The Company had approximately 9,000 members, primarily in South Korea. Currently, this membership business has been temporarily suspended, however the Company intends to resume this business following the ongoing restructuring of the membership model.

 

HWH International Inc. was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 under the name Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company consummated the Business Combination on January 9, 2024 and changed its name from “Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “HWH International Inc.” The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “HWH Nevada” or “Target”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Company and Merger Sub are sometimes referred to collectively as the “ACAX Parties.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and the Target was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into HWH Nevada, with the Target surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on January 9, 2024, the Company changed its name to “HWH International Inc.” The board of directors of the Company (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company.

 

The Target was owned and controlled by certain member officers and directors of the Company and its sponsor. The Merger was consummated following the receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of the Target and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

 

The total consideration paid at Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) by the Company to the Target’s shareholders was $125,000,000, and was payable in shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of the Company Common Stock paid to the shareholders of the Target as Merger Consideration was 12,500,000, with each share being valued at $10.00.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other interim periods or for any other future years. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023 filed on February 28, 2024 and audited consolidated financial statements of HWH Nevada for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the form 8-K/A filed with SEC on March 25, 2024.

 

 

Through November 30, 2023, HWH (then known as Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.) reported on a twelve-month fiscal year that ended on November 30. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s fiscal year end was changed from November 30 to December 31. As a result of this change, the Company had a one-month transition period that began on December 1, 2023 and ended on December 31, 2023. For details see note 18 - Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

 

The following chart describes the Company’s ownership of various subsidiaries:

 

 

The Company mainly focuses on the F&B business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company’s business was generated by its wholly owned subsidiaries, 0% and 2% from HWH World Inc. (“HWH Korea”), respectively, and 100% and 98% from F&B business, respectively. F&B business was generated by the following subsidiaries at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively: 37% and 48% from Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd (“F&B1”), 5% and 6% from Hapi Café Korea Inc.(“HCKI”), 20% and 22% from Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. (“HCSGPL”), 9% and 22% from Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) and 29% and 0% from Ketomei Pte. Ltd. (“KPL”). HWH Korea was incorporated in the Republic of Korea (“South Korea”) on May 7, 2019. HWH Korea is in the business of sourcing and distributing dietary supplements and other health products through its network of members in South Korea. HWH Korea generates product sales via its direct sale model as products are sold to its members. Through the use of a Hapi Gig platform that combines e-commerce, social media, and a customized rewards system, HWH Korea equips, trains, and empowers its members. F&B1 was incorporated in Singapore on April 10, 2017, HCSGPL was incorporated in Singapore on April 4, 2022, F&BPLQ was incorporated in Singapore on November 11, 2022 and KPL was incorporated in Singapore on September 17, 2019. F&B1, HCSGPL, F&BPLQ and KPL are in the F&B business in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024 the Company ceased operations of its subsidiary Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. Due to the closure of this subsidiary the Company wrote off $5,882 of fixed assets, which is included in general and administrative expenses, and recorded a gain on termination of lease of $248, which is included in other income on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Functional and Reporting Currency

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“$”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia are maintained in their local currencies, the Korean Won (₩), Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $832,368 and $1,159,201 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

 

Investments held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0 and $21 million, respectively, in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on January 9, 2024, Class A Common Stock stockholders redeemed 1,942,108 shares for approximately $21 million held in the Trust Account. The Trust Account was closed in May 2024.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Investment Securities at Cost

 

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is an estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

 

Leases

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 842 in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

 

Right-of-use of assets

 

The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

 

 

Lease liabilities

 

Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly of fixed lease payments.

 

Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

 

The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in statement of operations. Depreciation is computed by the reducing balance method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT  

Office Equipment   3 – 5 years
Furniture and Fittings   3 – 5 years
Kitchen Equipment   3 – 5 years
Operating Equipment   3 – 5 years
Leasehold Improvements   Shorter of lease life or asset life

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

As at September 30, 2024, the Company has determined the value-in-use to be zero based on the discounted cash flow of the cash generating unit (“CGU”), which involves the cash flow projections covering a 3-year period and the fair value less cost of disposal to be zero considering the re-sale value of these assets to be insignificant. Based on the assessment, the recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to be zero, which was below the carrying amount of these non-financial assets. Accordingly, impairment losses on plant and equipment of $97,594 are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the financial year ended September 30, 2024.

 

Deposit

 

Deposit represents rental deposit paid for the office and the cafes used.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:

 

(1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company generates its revenue primarily from membership fees, product sales and F&B business.

 

Membership Fee: The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time upon joining the membership and is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement which is for a one-year period. The Company recognizes revenue from membership fee over the one-year period of the membership.

 

 

Product Sales: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its members. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

 

If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a member has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product and membership returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were both $0. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0 and $1,184, respectively. The table below represents a breakout of the returns related to product sales and the returns related to memberships:

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, assets and liabilities approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The assets and liabilities approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. At September 30, 2024 there were 4,549,370 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. At September 30, 2023 there were 4,549,375 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding and 909,875 potentially dilutive underlying rights.

 

Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

 

On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $123,780 and $8,666, respectively.

 

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss, a loss from operations and negative cash flow from operations as we expanded our business of operating cafés and restructured our membership business.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, geographical specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion shall consist of plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes we currently do not own, as we look to add Hapi Cafes over the next two (2) years. If we take over these existing leases, it will require a minimum investment for each lease we take over for each Hapi Café. There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our plans as laid out above.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding amounts related to the Credit Facility and the credit remains $700,000 available to draw as on September 30, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Company may at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any of the Company’s assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company.

 

The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset International Limited and Alset Inc., a direct and indirect majority owner of the Company, respectively. Alset International Limited and Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent accounting pronouncement

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

MERGER WITH HWH INTERNATIONAL INC. (A NEVADA CORPORATION)
 9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2024
Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]  
MERGER WITH HWH INTERNATIONAL INC. (A NEVADA CORPORATION)

NOTE 3 - MERGER WITH HWH INTERNATIONAL INC. (A NEVADA CORPORATION)

 

HWH International Inc. (f.k.a. Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.; “SPAC”, the “Company”) was a special purpose acquisition company, incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On January 9, 2024, the Company, HWH International Inc. (a Nevada corporation, “HWH Nevada”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc. consummated the merger (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated as of September 9, 2022.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a Reverse Recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Reverse Recapitalization, HWH Nevada stockholders comprise a majority of voting power on the Company, most of senior management of HWH Nevada continued as senior management of the combined company and identified a majority of the members of the board of directors of the combined company, both companies are under common control; and HWH Nevada’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Company is considered to be a continuation of HWH Nevada, with the net identifiable assets of SPAC deemed to have been acquired by HWH Nevada in exchange for HWH Nevada common shares accompanied by a recapitalization, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.

 

 

In connection with the Business Combination:

 

  ● The holders of 8,591,072 Public Shares properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from the IPO.
     
  ● Immediately prior to the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization (i) each of the 1,972,896 shares of SPAC’s Class A Common Stock was cancelled and converted into 1,972,896 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) each of the issued and outstanding 2,156,250 shares of SPAC’s Class B Common Shares were converted into 2,156,250 shares of SPAC’s Class A Common Stock and subsequently into 2,156,250 shares of the Company’s common stock; (iii) each of the SPAC’s 476,890 units were split into their component securities; and (iv) 909,875 new shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the conversion of the SPAC’s rights into the Company’s common shares.
     
  ● 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were delivered as consideration in the Business Combination
     
  ● 149,443 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to a third party as payment for $1,509,375 of underwriting compensation.

 

The transaction described above was a transaction between entities under common control. SPAC, prior to the Business Combination, was 26% owned by Alset International Limited, a public company listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited and 32% owned by Alset Inc., the ultimate owner of both SPAC and HWH Nevada. HWH Nevada was wholly-owned by Alset International Limited. In the transactions under common control, financial statements and financial information were presented as of the beginning of the period as though the assets and liabilities had been transferred at that date.

NOTE 4 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

 

Accounts receivable, net at September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $35,067, $28,611, $24,189 and $9,070, respectively, represent collection received by the credit card processor in F&B business and rent receivable. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers (including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounts receivable considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was an immaterial amount. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Risk free interest rate   3.56%
Annualized volatility   167.12%
Dividend Yield  $0.00%
Year to maturity   4.46 

 

The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow with the following assumptions:

Equity [Abstract]  
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 14 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The total amount of authorized capital stock of the Company is 56,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 55,000,000 shares of common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock . As of September 30, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

The Company previously had shares of Class B common stock outstanding, which automatically converted into Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination, on a one-for-one basis.

 

Rights - Each holder of a right automatically received one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

 

 

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

 

  ● in whole and not in part;
     
  ● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
     
  ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period to each warrant holder; and
     
  ● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

 

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The following table summarizes the warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

LEASES

NOTE 15 —LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases for its office spaces, one F&B store in South Korea and two F&B stores in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company ceased its operations of F&BPLQ and recorded a gain on termination of the operating lease of $248, which is included in other income on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The related lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Since the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined, management uses a discount rate based on the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.92 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 3.78%.

 

The Company has also utilized the following practical expedients:

 

  ● Short-term leases – for leases that are for a period of 12 months or less, the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842.
     
  ● For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other interim periods or for any other future years. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023 filed on February 28, 2024 and audited consolidated financial statements of HWH Nevada for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the form 8-K/A filed with SEC on March 25, 2024.

 

 

Through November 30, 2023, HWH (then known as Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.) reported on a twelve-month fiscal year that ended on November 30. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s fiscal year end was changed from November 30 to December 31. As a result of this change, the Company had a one-month transition period that began on December 1, 2023 and ended on December 31, 2023. For details see note 18 - Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

 

The following chart describes the Company’s ownership of various subsidiaries:

 

 

The Company mainly focuses on the F&B business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company’s business was generated by its wholly owned subsidiaries, 0% and 2% from HWH World Inc. (“HWH Korea”), respectively, and 100% and 98% from F&B business, respectively. F&B business was generated by the following subsidiaries at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively: 37% and 48% from Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd (“F&B1”), 5% and 6% from Hapi Café Korea Inc.(“HCKI”), 20% and 22% from Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. (“HCSGPL”), 9% and 22% from Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) and 29% and 0% from Ketomei Pte.

HWH Korea is in the business of sourcing and distributing dietary supplements and other health products through its network of members in South Korea. HWH Korea generates product sales via its direct sale model as products are sold to its members. Through the use of a Hapi Gig platform that combines e-commerce, social media, and a customized rewards system, HWH Korea equips, trains, and empowers its members. F&B1 was incorporated in Singapore on April 10, 2017, HCSGPL was incorporated in Singapore on April 4, 2022, F&BPLQ was incorporated in Singapore on November 11, 2022 and KPL was incorporated in Singapore on September 17, 2019. F&B1, HCSGPL, F&BPLQ and KPL are in the F&B business in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024 the Company ceased operations of its subsidiary Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. Due to the closure of this subsidiary the Company wrote off $5,882 of fixed assets, which is included in general and administrative expenses, and recorded a gain on termination of lease of $248, which is included in other income on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

 
Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 
Functional and Reporting Currency

Functional and Reporting Currency

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“$”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia are maintained in their local currencies, the Korean Won (₩), Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

 
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $832,368 and $1,159,201 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

 
Investments held in Trust Account

Investments held in Trust Account

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0 and $21 million, respectively, in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on January 9, 2024, Class A Common Stock stockholders redeemed 1,942,108 shares for approximately $21 million held in the Trust Account. The Trust Account was closed in May 2024.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 
Investment Securities at Cost

Investment Securities at Cost

 

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

 
Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is an estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

 
Leases

Leases

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 842 in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

 
Right-of-use of assets

Right-of-use of assets

 

The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

 

 
Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities

 

Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly of fixed lease payments.

 
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

 

The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

 
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in statement of operations. Depreciation is computed by the reducing balance method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT  

Office Equipment   3 – 5 years
Furniture and Fittings   3 – 5 years
Kitchen Equipment   3 – 5 years
Operating Equipment   3 – 5 years
Leasehold Improvements   Shorter of lease life or asset life

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

As at September 30, 2024, the Company has determined the value-in-use to be zero based on the discounted cash flow of the cash generating unit (“CGU”), which involves the cash flow projections covering a 3-year period and the fair value less cost of disposal to be zero considering the re-sale value of these assets to be insignificant. Based on the assessment, the recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to be zero, which was below the carrying amount of these non-financial assets. Accordingly, impairment losses on plant and equipment of $97,594 are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the financial year ended September 30, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:

 

(1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company generates its revenue primarily from membership fees, product sales and F&B business.

 

Membership Fee: The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time upon joining the membership and is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement which is for a one-year period. The Company recognizes revenue from membership fee over the one-year period of the membership.

 

 

Product Sales: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its members. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

 

If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a member has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product and membership returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were both $0. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0 and $1,184, respectively. The table below represents a breakout of the returns related to product sales and the returns related to memberships:

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, assets and liabilities approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The assets and liabilities approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

 

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

 
Earnings (Loss) per Share

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. At September 30, 2024 there were 4,549,370 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. At September 30, 2023 there were 4,549,375 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding and 909,875 potentially dilutive underlying rights.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss, a loss from operations and negative cash flow from operations as we expanded our business of operating cafés and restructured our membership business.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, geographical specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion shall consist of plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes we currently do not own, as we look to add Hapi Cafes over the next two (2) years. If we take over these existing leases, it will require a minimum investment for each lease we take over for each Hapi Café. There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our plans as laid out above.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, there are no outstanding amounts related to the Credit Facility and the credit remains $700,000 available to draw as on September 30, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Company may at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any of the Company’s assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company.

 

The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset International Limited and Alset Inc., a direct and indirect majority owner of the Company, respectively. Alset International Limited and Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 
Recent accounting pronouncement

Recent accounting pronouncement

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

SCHEDULE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024:

 

   Fair Value Measurement Using   Amount at 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value

Total Investment in securities at Fair Value  $-   $743,481   $-   $743,481 
SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE WEIGHTED AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS

The fair value of the SHRG warrants under level 2 category as of September 30, 2024 was calculated using a binomial option pricing model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   September 30, 2024 
     
Stock price  $0.1000 
Exercise price  $1.6800 
Risk free interest rate   3.56%
Annualized volatility   167.12%
Dividend Yield  $0.00%
Year to maturity   4.46 

 

The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow with the following assumptions:
