| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed unaudited 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”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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, 2026 or any other interim periods or for any other future years. These unaudited 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 December 31, 2025 filed on March 17, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred net loss of $246,374, negative working capital of $2,289,308 and $320,248 of net cash used in operating activities.
Current conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, management expects improvement in the Food and Beverage business and anticipates that ongoing financial support from Alset Inc. will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s obligations for the foreseeable future, thereby alleviating such doubt. The Company has obtained a letter of financial support from Alset Inc., the Company’s direct corporate parent. Alset Inc. is committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment for the next twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
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.
Basis of consolidation
The 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.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, cost and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, and the fair value estimate for the Company’s warrants and convertible notes receivable with a related party.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents within the period.
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 assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all 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.
The Company has also utilized the following practical expedients:
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 incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly fixed lease payments.
Foreign currency risk
Because of its foreign operations, the Company holds cash balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash included amounts equivalent to $299,451, $30,473, $15,509, and $16,460, denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), Singapore Dollars (“S$”), New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”), and Chinese Yuan (“CN¥”), respectively, translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of that date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash included amounts equivalent to $419,118, $61,786, $15,498, and $14,764, denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), Singapore Dollars (“S$”), New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”), and Chinese Yuan (“CN¥”), respectively, translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of that date.
Investment in Securities at Fair Value – Related Party
The Company currently has an investment in Value Exchange International, Inc. (“VEII”), a related party, consisting of shares of common shares and 36,723,160 stock warrants. The Company had elected the fair value option, or “FVO,” and the Company continues to measure at fair value, those of its assets and liabilities it had previously measured at fair value and for which such election is permitted. The financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The investment has been reclassified from current assets to non-current assets to reflect management’s intention to hold the investment for the long term. This change in classification does not affect the measurement basis, and the investment continues to be measured at fair value under the fair value option.
Property and Equipment
Property 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 (such as removal, and restoration costs). 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 operations. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Although the cash at each particular bank in the United States is insured up to $250,000 by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Company is exposed to risk due to its concentration of cash in foreign countries. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.
Fair value
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:
Revenue recognition
Accounting Standards Codification 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 or catering service to customers.
Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services or catering service to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers over control of the promised goods or services or catering service to its customers. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services or catering service in the contract by analyzing customer perspective, immateriality, implicit promises, setup activities, and marketing incentives ; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services or catering service are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract by analyze the contract from the perspective of the customer; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration by the expected value method and the most likely amount method ; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, or the price at which the Company would sell the good or service separately to similar customers in similar circumstances ; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. This should only be done once the transaction is complete and your obligation is fulfilled. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services or catering service it transfers to the customer.
Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are capitalized and expensed over the life of the contract.
The Company began generating revenue from the food and beverage business by providing quality catering services in Hong Kong since October 2022 and in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) since January 2023. The Company acts as the principal in these arrangements because it controls the goods and services before they are transferred to customers. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis at a point in time, when the Company provides the product to the customer.
Income taxes
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as non-current in accordance with ASC 740. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incurred any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).
The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Chinese Yuan (CN ¥) and New Taiwan Dollar (NT$), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s entities with functional currency of Singapore Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Chinese Yuan and New Taiwan Dollar, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss).
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustment of $63,331 in the consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustment of $52,333 in the consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
The calculation of diluted net income per unit includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt, except during the loss periods as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
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 operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), expanding the disclosures requirement for income taxes primarily by requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption of ASU 2023-09 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 amends ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) to expand segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the amount and description of other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 further permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit or loss and extends the full disclosure requirements of ASC 280 to companies with single reportable segments. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on December 31, 2024. See —Segment reporting below for additional information.
Accounting pronouncements pending adoption
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income to expand income statement expense disclosures and require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is required to be adopted for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270). This update enhances the clarity and organization of interim reporting and the applicability of Topic 270. It also clarifies the required form and content of interim financial statements, including requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the update either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our financial statements and disclosures.
Segment reporting
The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is responsible as the CODM and reviews and assess the performance of the Company as a whole.
The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on Net income (loss) and Operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
