Principles of consolidation and basis of preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company eliminates all significant intercompany balances and transactions in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes in accordance to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting.

 

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available when the calculations are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency translation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in the United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in the Hong Kong is Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD” or “HK$”), its other subsidiaries which are incorporated in British Virgin Islands is United States Dollars, respectively, which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into $ from HK$ at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

 

Translation of amounts from HKD into USD has been made at the following exchange rates:

 

   March 31, 2025   September 30, 2024   March 31, 2024 
Period-end $: HK$ exchange rate   7.7799    7.7693    7.8259 
Period average $: HK$ exchange rate   7.7771    7.8084    7.8172 

 

Prepayment

Prepayment

 

Prepayment is mainly comprised of payments made to vendors or service providers for future services that have not been provided. These amounts are non- refundable and bear no interest.

Deposits and other current assets, net

Deposits and other current assets, net

 

Deposits are mainly for rent, utilities and money deposited with certain vendors. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. The short-term deposits usually have a one-year term and are refundable upon contract termination. The long-term deposits are refunded from suppliers when terms and conditions set forth in the agreements have been satisfied.

 

Other current assets, net, primarily consists of other receivables from third parties. These amounts are non-refundable, unsecured and bear no interest. Management reviews periodically to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company made $540 and $540 allowance for doubtful accounts for deposit and other current assets, respectively.

 

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value of 0%. The estimated useful lives of the plan and equipment are as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures   4 years
Office equipment   4 years
Motor vehicle   5 years

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets purchased from third parties are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives. The acquired intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value and are expensed or amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.

 

The estimated useful lives of major intangible assets are as follows:

 

Website  4 years
Patent  4 years

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, representing property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, we would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 

Deferred IPO costs

Deferred IPO costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, IPO costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. These costs include underwriting fees related to the registration preparation, FINRA filing fees and Nasdaq filing fees.

 

Lease

Lease

 

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component.

 

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there were approximately $62,716 and $154,254 right of use (“ROU”) assets and approximately $62,716 and $154,254 lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, respectively. The Company’s management believes that using an incremental borrowing rate of the Hong Kong Dollar Best Lending Rate (“BLR”) 5.875% (2024: 5.875%) plus Margin 1.500% p.a. was the most indicative rate of the Company’s borrowing cost for the calculation of the present value of the lease payments; the rate used by the Company was 7.375% (2024: 7.375%).

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, and is intended to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Management is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“2025-01”). The amendment in this Update amends the effective date of Update 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of Update 2024-03 is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810)” (“ASU 2025-03”). The amendments in this Update require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (VIE) that meets the definition of a business to consider the factors in paragraphs 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this Update differ from current GAAP because, for certain transactions, they replace the requirement that the primary beneficiary always is the acquirer with an assessment that requires an entity to consider the factors to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this Update enhance the comparability of financial statements across entities engaging in acquisition transactions effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree meets the definition of a business. Specifically, under the amendments, acquisition transactions in which the legal acquiree is a VIE will, in more instances, result in the same accounting outcomes as economically similar transactions in which the legal acquiree is a voting interest entity. The amendments in this Update do not change the accounting for a transaction determined to be a reverse acquisition or a transaction in which the legal acquirer is not a business and is determined to be the accounting acquiree. Management is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and statement of cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which replaced ASC Topic 605, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning after October 1, 2020 are presented under ASC Topic 606 while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be presented under the Company’s historic accounting under ASC Topic 605. The Company’s accounting for revenue remains substantially unchanged.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

The five-step model defined by ASC Topic 606 requires the Company to:

 

  1. identify its contracts with customers;
  2. identify its performance obligations under those contracts;
  3. determine the transaction prices of those contracts;
  4. allocate the transaction prices to its performance obligations in those contracts; and
  5. recognize revenue when each performance obligation under those contracts is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when promised services are transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those services.

 

The Company enters into service agreements with its customers that outline the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each party. The agreements also identify the scope of services, service fees, and payment terms. Agreements are acknowledged and signed by both parties. All the contracts have commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect considerations from its customers for service component.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following:

 

Revenue from provision of digital media advertising and marketing production services

 

The Company provides digital media advertising and marketing production services to its customers by designing animations, creating virtual reality contents, tailoring virtual avatar characters, providing virtual apparel technology services and arranging physical and online display. The Company typically enter into service contracts with its customers which will set forth the terms and conditions including the transaction price, services to be delivered, terms of delivery, and terms of payment. Service contracts are fixed priced with no variable consideration and are typically satisfied in one year or less. The terms serve as the basis of the performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in order to recognize revenue. The key performance obligation is identified as a single performance obligation where display of finished contents to the public or targeted audiences at the physical location or online platform specified by the customer indicates that the Company has completed all the services agreed upon in the service contract. The Company assesses that content production and content display services is considered as one performance obligation as the clients do not obtain benefit for each separate service. The Company therefore recognizes revenue at a point in time when finished contents are accepted by customers and published. Typically, the Company collects approximately 40% of contract sum upfront, with the remaining balance collected in two to three installments based on milestones and project completion.

 

Significant accounts related to the revenue cycle are as follows:

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs (including base pay and benefits) and subcontracting cost for consultancy and production services which are directly related to revenue generating transactions.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable represents trade accounts due from customers. The trade receivables are all without customer collateral and interest is not accrued on past due accounts. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the expected credit allowance is adequate and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company has recognised $39,386 and $20,322 allowance for expected credit losses for accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Contract Costs

 

Contract costs incurred during the production phases of the Company’s service contracts, are capitalized when the costs relate directly to the contract, are expected to be recovered, and generate or enhance resources to be used in satisfying the performance obligation and such deferred costs will be recognized upon the recognition of the related revenue. These costs primarily consist of procurement and material costs directly related to the contract. Contract costs are recognized as cost of revenue when performance obligation(s) is fulfilled and revenue is recognized concurrently.

 

The Company performs periodic reviews to assess the recoverability of the contract costs. The carrying amount of the asset is compared to the remaining amount of consideration. The Company expects to receive for the services to which the asset relates, less the costs that relate directly to providing those services that have not yet been recognized. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized. For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended September 30, 2024, no impairment loss was recognized.

 

Contract liabilities

 

Contract liabilities represents payment advanced from customers. It is recognized when a payment is received from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services.

 

Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performed its performance obligation(s) under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

 

Expected credit loss

 

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures. The Company adopted the new standard effective October 1, 2020, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year and applied to accounts receivable and other financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the net earning and financial position and has no impact on the cash flows.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Any tax paid by subsidiaries during the period is recorded. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. ASC Topic 740 also requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry-forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income Taxes (continued)

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10-05, “Income Taxes: Overview and Background”, which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, it prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.

 

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation. There were no potentially dilutive securities that were in-the-money that were outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial information of each separate operating segment when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the segment. The Company has determined that it has a single operating segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance; accordingly, the Company does not provide additional segment reporting in these accompanying notes.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, amounts due from (to) related parties, lease liabilities and bank loans, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, amounts due from (to) related parties, promissory notes payable and bank loans each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term.

 

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.
