EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

We were incorporated as Computron, Inc. in Nevada on August 22, 2014. Prior to the Share Exchange and Split-Off (each as defined below), we were engaged in online computer support services.

 

On October 28, 2016, (i) we changed our name to Ho Wah Genting Group Limited, and (ii) we increased our authorized capital stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, to 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) by filing an Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Company’s name change to Ho Wah Genting Group Limited became effective on FINRA’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the open of business on November 8, 2016 under the new stock ticker symbol “HWGG”. The Company’s new CUSIP number is 433707106.

 

On November 4, 2016, we completed and closed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) under a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) of the same date by and among us, Ho Wah Genting Group SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“HWGG”) and the shareholders of HWGG pursuant to which HWGG became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. In the Share Exchange, all of the outstanding shares of HWGG were converted into shares of our Common Stock, as described in more detail below.

 

In connection with the Share Exchange and pursuant to the Split-Off Agreement (defined below), we transferred our pre-Share Exchange assets and liabilities to our pre-Share Exchange majority stockholder, in exchange for the surrender by him and cancellation of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. See Item 2.01, “Split-Off” below.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange and Split-Off, we discontinued our pre-Share Exchange business and acquired the businesses of HWGG and will continue the existing business operations of HWGG as a publicly-traded company under the name Ho Wah Genting Group Limited.

 

In accordance with “reverse acquisition” accounting treatment, our historical financial statements as of period ends, and for periods ended, prior to the acquisition, will be replaced with the historical financial statements of HWGG prior to the Share Exchange in all future filings with the SEC.

 

As used in this Current Report henceforward, unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ho Wah Genting Group Limited, incorporated in Nevada, after giving effect to the Share Exchange and the Split-Off.

 

This Current Report contains summaries of the material terms of various agreements executed in connection with the transactions described herein. Such agreements are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Current Report is being filed in connection with a series of transactions consummated by the Company and certain related events and actions taken by the Company.

THE SHARE EXCHANGE AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Share Exchange Agreement

 

On November 4, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, HWGG and the shareholders of HWGG entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on the same date. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we exchanged 560,000 shares of our Common Stock for all of the outstanding capital stock of HWGG with the result that HWGG became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange, we acquired the business of HWGG to engage in the following businesses: (1) promoting travel and entertainment through the e-commerce business model by offering a membership program that offers its members exclusive travel discounts and rebates, (2) providing junket operator services and (3) developing and investing in commercial and residential property.

 

At the closing of the Share Exchange, each of the 1,000,000 shares of HWGG’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange was exchanged for 560,000 shares of our Common Stock.

 

As a result, an aggregate of 560,000 shares of our Common Stock were issued to the holders of HWGG’s stock.

 

The Share Exchange Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions.

 

The Share Exchange will be treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. HWGG will be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and our historical financial statements before the Share Exchange will be replaced with the consolidated historical financial statements of HWGG before the Share Exchange in all future filings with the SEC.

 

The Share Exchange is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The issuance of shares of our Common Stock to holders of HWGG’s capital stock in connection with the Share Exchange was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under that section and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement, and some of these securities are subject to further contractual restrictions on transfer as described below.

 

The form of the Share Exchange Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Report.

 

Split-Off

 

Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, under the terms of a split-off agreement and a general release agreement, the Company transferred all of its pre-Share Exchange operating assets and liabilities to David Breier, the pre-Share Exchange majority stockholder of the Company, and the former sole officer and director of the Company (the “Split-Off”), in consideration of and in exchange for (i) the surrender and cancellation of an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock held by Mr. Breier (which were cancelled and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock) and (ii) certain representations, covenants and indemnities.

 

  5  

 

 

Departure and Appointment of Directors and Officers

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of three (3) members. On the Closing Date, David Breier, our sole director before the Share Exchange, resigned his position as a director, and Lim Chun Hoo (Chairman), Leong Yee Ming and Ong Kooi Tatt were appointed to the Board of Directors.

 

On November 8, 2016, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Mr. Breier, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer before the Share Exchange, resigned from these positions, and Dato Lim Hui Boon was appointed as our President, Lim Chun Hoo was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, Leong Yee Ming was appointed as our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Ong Kooi Tatt was appointed as our Secretary.

 

See “Management – Directors and Executive Officers” below for information about our new directors and executive officers.

 

Pro Forma Ownership

 

Immediately after giving effect to (i) the Share Exchange and (ii) the cancellation of 5,000,000 shares in the Split-Off, there were 700,319 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, as follows:

 

the stockholders of HWGG prior to the Share Exchange hold 560,000 shares of our Common Stock; and

 

the stockholders of the Company prior to the Share Exchange hold 140,319 shares of our Common Stock.

 

No other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our Common Stock are outstanding.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol “CMPT”, which will change to “HWGG” at the open of business on November 8, 2016.

 

Accounting Treatment; Change of Control

 

The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” and HWGG is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of HWGG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of HWGG and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of HWGG, historical operations of HWGG and operations of the Company and its subsidiary from the closing date of the Share Exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the Share Exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the Share Exchange. Except as described in this Current Report, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of our Board of Directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of the Company.

 

We continue to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Exchange Act, following the Share Exchange.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, the businesses of HWGG became our businesses. HWGG is engaged in in travel agency and information technology services, junket operating services and developing and investing in real estate property.

Overview

 

We are a business conglomerate located in Malaysia. Our principal business is to promote travel and entertainment through an online business model by offering a membership program to individuals who seek travel planning, entertainment, exclusive discounts and awards (“Exclusive Travel Membership”), junket operating services and property investment and development.

 

We believe we will grow to become one of Malaysia’s largest premium market membership database owners by promoting our Exclusive Travel Membership and diversified travel packages, products and services. Through our partnerships with leading travel and entertainment companies within the local travel industry, we provide our members with exclusive offers to destinations across the world, discounts, and special perks when traveling as a member of our Exclusive Travel Membership.

 

In connection to our Exclusive Travel Membership, we also provide junket operating services by promoting premium market players to our partner’s resorts and cruise lines. We currently have an agreement to operate as a licensed junket operator for Genting Malaysia Berhad, a Malaysian public company involved in the leisure and hospitality business covering theme parks, gaming, hotels, seaside resorts and entertainment for over fifty years throughout Asia, and Genting Hong Kong Limited, a Hong-Kong based investment holding company principally engaged in cruise businesses. We intend to utilize our travel and information services, customer service and key relationships with resort and cruise partners to further identify and develop new opportunities to capitalize from Asia’s growing travel and entertainment industry.

 

We also are involved in both residential and commercial property investment and development. Since 2006, our main business activity has been property investment and we have since invested in a condominium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and currently this is the main source of income for us. Currently we are in discussion with a developer on a piece of commercial land located in the heart and in a golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The plan is to build 600 units of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), approximately 40 story and with an estimate gross development value of no less than $100 million.

 

History

 

As described above, we were incorporated in Nevada as Computron, Inc. on August 22, 2014. Our original business was to engage in computer support services. In connection with the Share Exchange, our Board determined to discontinue operations in this area and to seek the new business opportunity prescribed by the acquisition of HWGG. As a result of the Share Exchange, we have acquired the business of HWGG.

 

On September 2, 1985, HWGG was incorporated under the laws of Malaysia as a private company limited by shares with the name “Ho Wah Genting Holdings SDN. BHD” for the purpose of functioning as a holding company to obtain ownership interests in Malaysian businesses across various industries. Throughout the years, we have expanded our business operations and undergone multiple name changes and restructuring to fit our evolving business objectives. First on February 17, 1989, the company changed its name to “Ho Wah Genting Group (M) SDN. BHD.” On October 2, 1990, the company changed its name to “Ho Wah Genting Group SDN. BHD.” On December 22, 1990 its name was changed to “Ho Wah Genting Group Berhad” and was converted to a public company limited by shares. Lastly, on January 18, 1995, the company converted back into a private company limited by shares and changed its name to “Ho Wah Genting Group Sdn. Bhd.”

 

From 1985 to 2005, HWGG was involved in wire and cable, taxi, travel agent and tour bus charterers and general insurance agent services. In August 2006, HWGG shifted its operations to primarily focus on commercial and residential property investment by purchasing a condominium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and renting it out for revenue.

 

  7  

 

 

In 2015, the Company entered the travel agency and information technology services business by launching the Exclusive Travel Membership program in Malaysia.

 

On June 25, 2015, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding equity of Beedo SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“Beedo”) that specializes in information technology services. On August 12, 2016, the Company sold its shares of Beedo to our president, for the consideration of $118,881 (RM 510,000).

 

On April 1, 2016, we entered into the Travel and Junket Service Contract with our partner, Ho Wah Genting Holiday SDH BHD, a Malaysian corporation (“HWGH”), pursuant to which HWGH shall render tour agency services and prepare tour packages, hotel bookings, and transportation arrangements to offer HWGG’s members and customers. Through this partnership, our members are able to enjoy exclusive discounted travel packages, entertainment rebates and rewards as we are able to develop and strengthen our relationships with our resort and cruise line partners and their affiliates. Pursuant to the Travel and Junket Service Contract, HWGH agreed to share 50% of the commission earned through certain junket operations with HWGG.

 

In September 2016, we were approved to be a registered junket operator and local group casino rebate programme for Genting Malaysia Berhad’s casinos in Peninsular Malaysia and an approved junket operator for Genting Hong Kong Limited’s entire Star Cruises Fleet and Resorts World Manila.

 

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 1,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001. Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol “CMPT,” which will change to “HWGG” on November 8, 2016.

 

Our principal executive office is located at Wisma Ho Wah Genting, No. 35, Jalan Maharajalela, 50150 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our telephone number is + 603-21416422. Our website address is www.hwgg.com.my.

 

Our Products and Services

 

Exclusive Travel Membership

 

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, travel and tourism generated $7.6 trillion (USD) and 277 million jobs for the global economy in 2014. In that same year, the World Travel and Tourism Council also noted that international tourist arrivals also surged, reaching nearly 1.14 billion, 46% of which were visitors from emerging economies (up from 38% in 2000).

 

Through our Exclusive Travel Membership, we intend to tap the travel and tourism industry, particularly through Asia’s emerging markets. We have a premium market database via subscription to our Exclusive Travel Membership program. We currently provide service arrangements to our partners’ exclusive entertainment lounges located in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and China. Through the growth of our membership, we believe we will gain better negotiation power for the best travel deals for our members, enhancing our unique selling points, products and services that we offer our customers.

 

Our membership offers users the ability to purchase discounted deals for travel packages, some of which are exclusive to the company due to our partnership with our brand partners. We offer our members discount rewards up to 14.4% per annum based on members redemption points. Our members can exercise their membership benefits through their own mobile phone or computer through their own live online account.

 

  8  

 

 

Although, we initially intend to primarily offer and sell products related to travel, entertainment and lifestyle, we are not limited to those areas and may sell unrelated products and services as long as these products and services will benefit our members and customers in a manner consistent with our objectives and mission.

 

Exclusive Travel Membership Structure

 

To become a member, a person can purchase a member package from our website or mobile application or walk-in to our sales office. Member packages include products and points that carry a value that approximates the package price. Each member package is available in English and Chinese and typically includes booklets describing us, our compensation plan and rules of member conduct, various training and promotional materials, member applications and a product and services catalog. The price of a member package varies by package type and provides a low cost entry for incoming members. Since June 19, 2015 we have four categories of member packages as follows:

 

Holiday Card Member
Classic Card Member
Gold Card Member
Black Card Member

 

The Holiday Card Member package is our entry based package and is designed for members that wish to try or test our products and services. There is no annual fee. Holiday Card members will have access to our Local and International Membership Subscription, value travel packages and accommodation booking services.

 

The Classic Card Member package is our mid-level entry package and is designed for members that wish to earn extra benefits in addition to those available under our Holiday Card Member package. It requires a yearly subscription payment of US$8,000, for our International Membership Subscription, or RM 20,000 for our Local Membership Subscription. It provides members up to 12% discount rewards per annum and access to our entertainment services, air ticket purchase services, value travel packages and accommodation booking services.

 

The Gold Card Member package is our advanced entry-level package. This package provides members up to 13.2% discount rewards per annum and access to our travel arrangement services, entertainment services, air ticket purchase services, value travel packages and accommodation booking services. It requires a yearly subscription payment of US$16,000 for our International Subscription or RM 50,000 for our Local Membership Subscription.

 

The Black Card Member package is our professional entry-level package. It requires a yearly subscription payment of US$32,000 for International Membership Subscription or RM 100,000 for our Local Membership Subscription. It provides members up to 14.4% discount rewards per annum and access to our travel arrangement services, entertainment services, air ticket purchase services, value travel packages and accommodation booking services.

 

Members’ subscription amount will be converted into member redemption points (“MRP”) on an equivalent basis. MRPs can be utilized to purchase products and services via our partnering company HWGH. Discount rewards will be calculated based on month end point balance and rewarded based on month end MRP balance. Discount rewards can be exchanged for entertainment vouchers at selected destinations. All of our membership options terminate after twelve (12) months.

 

Exclusive Travel Membership Member Base

 

Since launching our membership program in Malaysia in 2015, we have generated positive results. With minimal promotion, we have generated 130 active members as of June 30, 2016. We plan to expand our member base by venturing into other Asian countries, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and most importantly China. China comprises Asia’s largest market when it comes to sourcing of membership databases due to its large population and spending power. As our strategic partners’ resorts and fleet of cruises expands its locations and itineraries in China, we believe that China will be one of the largest markets contributing to our Company’s revenue.

People purchase our membership packages for a number of reasons, including the type of discount rewards that we provide, our high quality services, redemption points and a mixture of packages that include travel and entertainment rewards. While sales within our local markets may fluctuate due to economic, market and regulatory conditions, competitive pressures, political and social instability or for Company-specific reasons, we believe that our intended geographic diversity will help mitigate our exposure to any one particular market.

 

Junket Operator

 

In connection with our Exclusive Travel Membership program, our members may exchange their subscription points for junket services at selected destinations offered by our strategic partners.

 

We intend to increase our revenue through our junket operator business. According to the Statistic Portal, in 2012 the global casino gaming market was projected to have a volume of $131.35 billion (USD). Based on Business Wire News, Asia comprises sixty percent of the world population and is home to many of the world’s top ten biggest casinos by gambling revenue, which are located in Macau and Singapore. As our partners, mainly cruises, increase their offers and products throughout Asia, we anticipate that our junket operation business can tap into the market by offering packages to these venues.

 

Junket operators depend on the players’ interest in gambling. The more the players play the higher the commission the junket operator earns. There are four key parties involved in the junket VIP gaming cycle, including the casinos, junkets, agents and the players. Casinos provide the gaming facility and the dealers, while junkets are responsible for filling up the VIP gaming rooms with players from across the region. Credit and commissions are given to the junkets for bringing in VIP players.

 

HWGG, individually and jointly with HWGH, have been approved to be junket operators in major resorts and cruise lines in Asia, through their partnership with Genting Hong Kong Limited and Genting Malaysia Berhad. To date, HWGG is an approved junket operator for Genting Malaysia Berhad’s casino in Peninsular Malaysia and Genting Hong Kong Limited’s entire Star Cruises Fleet and Resorts World Manila. HWGG earns an average of 1.5% - 1.0% for the rolling activities of our players. We anticipate this to be a significant contributor to HWGG’s future revenue as we are constantly developing unique packages and products such as our Exclusive Travel Membership to attract players and members from the biggest market of all: Asia.

 

We believe in our strategic partners’ visions of not only promoting the gaming industry but also providing leisure for families such as entertainment parks, shopping malls and concerts. We believe this diverse approach of our strategic partners will help attract not only the premium market players but also satisfy the mass market as well.

Property Development

 

From 2006 to 2015, our principal business activities involved property investment for commercial and residential real estate properties located in Malaysia, primarily in Kuala Lumpur. Throughout the years, we have been approached by property developers and investors requesting that we study property projects in Malaysia. Our portfolio currently consists of a condominium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which generates rental income for us. We may sell or purchase further properties, if opportunities arise that we believe will maximize our overall asset values.

 

According to local news sources in Malaysia, Malaysia’s property market has softened considerably in 2015 due to cooling measures implemented by its government including stricter and more stringent loan requirements. According to a report published by Malaysia’s Real Estate and Housing Developers Association, loan rejection rates have been reported to be as high as 70%, negatively impacting the country’s property market. A Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) was implemented across the board on April 1, 2015, and property transactions in the first quarter of the year fell by 4.6%, from 92,900 for the same period in 2014. New property prices are estimated to have increased by 3.97% due to higher material costs. While Malaysia’s property market has achieved relative stability compared with the bull run of recent years, it is perceived that this is largely due to the economic situation in the country and not due to the implementation of GST. Domestic buyers are increasingly unable to enter the property market at affordable levels which has resulted in market stagnation in certain regions of Malaysia. The Ringgit Malaysia fell at a 16-year low has caused the property investment market to subdue due to market uncertainties.

 

Notwithstanding these measures, we expect the housing market to remain resilient and sustainable in the near future. According to an article published by Asean Today, properties in Malaysia will hit a peak by year 2020. Surveys conducted by local reputable firms specializing in analyzing Malaysian investment behavior, noted that Malaysians prefer to invest in property due to higher yields on rental, good appreciation, retirement plan, for better environment and for affordable pricing. Our management believes that foreign investors actually favor Malaysian property due to Malaysia’s modern and sophisticated infrastructure that is being further enhanced by government initiatives to facilitate foreign investment in Malaysia, including tax incentives and easing of laws governing foreign ownership of property. We believe that the property cycle has or will be reaching its bottom line soon and the cycle will turn within these few years. With the support from the Malaysia government, overseas investors, particularly investors from China, have started to invest in properties and infrastructure in Malaysia. On top of that, even with a slowdown in property transaction, the price of the properties does not drop much (most of the properties either go up in price or remain unchanged) yet it remains attractive to foreign buyer due to weaker ringgit (which mean the properties in Malaysia are relatively cheap to foreign investors). All this information provides assurance to us that the property sector in Malaysia remains solid and that the best time to catch the cycle is to start now. We also believe that by remaining in the property investment industry, we will capture this market by building our brand name.

 

We have engaged project managers to look into enhancing this business sector and are currently in the early state of exploring and planning our next property investment project.

 

Distribution Channels

 

We will primarily operate by utilizing e-commerce and person-to-person marketing to promote and sell our Exclusive Travel Membership, travel packages and services. These marketing efforts will be supported by various mediums, including the Internet, word of mouth and promotional events. We believe our distribution channel will be an effective vehicle to distribute our products and services because:

 

Our e-commerce distribution channel will allow us to reach out to a larger audience;

 

our person-to-person marketing channel allows us to educate consumers about our packages and services face-to-face, which we believe is more effective for differentiating our products and services than using traditional mass-media advertising;

 

  11  

 

 

our distribution channel provides a sense of excitement and enjoyment to our members which motivates them to promote our packages and services;

 

our distribution channel allows our customers to provide personal testimonials of packages and service offerings; and

 

as compared to other distribution methods, we work closely with our partners ensuring only the excellent quality services and packages are offer to our customers.

 

The manner in which we operate our distribution channel can vary from market to market based on regulatory and socio-economic conditions. While our person-to-person marketing philosophy remains consistent globally, various aspects of our business may differ from market-to-market, including packages mix and pricing and branding.

 

Our distribution channel is composed of individuals who buy our packages primarily for personal or family consumption. Our strategy for growing our consumer group is to offer high-quality travelling and entertainment packages and services, innovative first of its kind artistic and futuristic mix property development that provide demonstrable benefits.

 

Intellectual Property

 

At the present we do not have any patents or trademarks.

 

Our Strategy

 

We intend to continue to promote our Exclusive Travel Membership packages and services throughout Asia, as well as explore future junket operation engagements and real estate development projects.

 

We have set-up short term and long term plans as follows:

 

Short term plans

 

For the next 12 months, the Company will prioritize promotion of our Exclusive Travel Membership and junket operation in Asia as the main source of income. The Company also continues to review project proposals for its property investment business sector.

 

With the Exclusive Travel Membership and junket operations, our expansion plan will be conducted simultaneously throughout Malaysia.

 

To ensure that our Exclusive Travel Membership and junket operation services become known throughout Asia, we will release and promote information through word of mouth, promotion and organizing events to further increase our brand recognition. Since the Company has been promoting travel and entertainment of our partner’s resorts and cruises, any promotion held by these entities is an indirect promotion for the Company. We believe this is a significant advantage for the Company for our products market exposure.

 

For the next 12 months, we intend to acquire membership subscriptions from Asian countries in accordance with membership sales forecasts as follows:

 

·     China   $ 50,000,000  
·     Malaysia   $ 5,000,000  
·     Singapore   $ 5,000,000  
·     Hong Kong   $ 5,000,000  
·     Taiwan   $ 3,000,000  
·     Thailand   $ 3,000,000  
·     Other South East Asian Countries   $ 3,000,000  

  

  12  

 

 

Long term plans

 

Our long term plan is to expand our travel and entertainment and junket operation business throughout Asia and to the United States, particularly in Las Vegas, Nevada. To achieve this, we will continue to make improvements on our Exclusive Travel Membership system and network of VIP players and receive feedback from our members and strategic partners. However, we will need to conduct further research and studies to better understand the travel and tourism business and junket operator requirements in those areas before doing so.

 

Additionally, we plan to create an online gaming platform to enhance our membership services. The global online gambling market is expected to grow at a rate of up to 11% from 2016 to 2020, according to Technavio’s report as released in late 2015. The American Gaming Association says the online gambling market is currently valued at approximately US $37 billion annually, and 85 countries have chosen to legalize Internet gambling. With regard to the United States, only a few states have permitted online casino gambling to date, including Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. A significant share of global online gambling revenue comes from Europe. According to the European Commission, the online gambling market is about $15 billion per year, and it is growing at a rate of approximately 15% on an annual basis. We believe that the online gambling sector is an industry that can contribute significantly to our revenue and further enhance our shareholder value.

 

Another long term plan is to set up an investment fund. Our management team is currently working with a few investment firms to form connections in order to further contribute to our revenue.

 

Our management has experience in the Hong Kong, Malaysia and US markets. Our management has previously helped raise funds for these listed companies to be used as working capital and other corporate exercise matters, including mergers and acquisitions. Our management has also conducted due diligence for more than 10 different types of industries (mining, construction, properties, manufacturing, food and beverage, trading, beauty products, furniture products and others) for potential investment purposes.

 

We intend to work with reputable partners to invest in securities and other permitted assets to generate an additional revenue stream and increase profit for our shareholders. One of the asset classes that we are looking into are approved pre-IPO listing shares in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. With the experience of our management team, we believe that this business model is a viable and profitable one, enhancing our value over time.

 

Governmental Regulation

 

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses in general. We believe that we comply with the requirements in Malaysia for any licenses or approvals to pursue our proposed business plan. In locations where we operate, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by regulatory authorities. Generally, such authorities are vested with relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licensee and approvals, and to implement regulations. Possible sanctions which may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on engaging in a particular business for specific periods of time, revocation of licenses, censures, redress to customers and fines. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions. We may be prevented from operating if our activities are not in compliance with domestic Malaysian regulations.

 

In addition, we may be subject to various laws and regulations globally, particularly with respect to our travel and entertainment segment of our business. Many countries have either implemented new laws or made revisions to existing laws on travel and entertainment, particularly in the gaming industry, in the last decade. We may be prevented from operating if our activities are not in compliance with certain foreign regulations and must take action to comply with such relevant laws and regulations.

 

  13  

 

 

As a junket operator, we may deal with significant amounts of cash in our operations and may be subject to various reporting and anti-money laundering regulations. Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future, or new laws and regulations could be enacted which could adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision, utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection of endangered species and their habitats. Such regulation may delay future plans of development of our current and future properties and result in higher than anticipated developmental and administrative costs.

 

Competition and Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that while we currently may have disadvantages in the travel and entertainment market, the growth of this market will allow us to earn additional market share if we can maintain reliable, responsive, and quality service to our Exclusive Travel Membership members and partners.

 

We intend to use our expertise in the Asian markets and a user-friendly website to compete with the major competitors in this field. We will compete on the basis of ease of use, pricing and customer preference. Many of our competitors are well established, substantially larger and have substantially greater market recognition, greater resources and broader capabilities than we have. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by the registrant may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Junket operation is a niche market, competition is not high, however, it requires a substantial network of high-roller tourists in order to attract VIP players. By providing discount rewards, high quality services and with the continuously growing network that our senior management has, we believe that we are able to pull the necessary VIP players.

 

In the case of our property development business, we may not be able to compete with the big companies at our current stage. Our competitors may have larger financial capacities, greater resource availability, and more diversification in terms of their property portfolios and experience.  Our competitive strategies will focus on the following key areas: lease and sales strategy, target local market (mostly mid income earner), target foreign market (partly mid income earner and partly high income earner) and strategize location with a reasonable pricing.

 

As a company, we believe that focusing on providing excellent services and understanding the needs of the customer and market is the key to success, to achieve this we will work very closely with our travel and entertainment, junket operations and real estate development partners. As technology keeps improving with innovative ideas, so must our services and technologies. We intend to continue to invest in our technologies in order to expand our business not only in Malaysia but also to reach the customers around the world.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  18  

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

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

 

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015and December 31, 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company provides rental and information technology services to customers. Lease revenue is recognized using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate-General-Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”). Revenue from the provision of information technology services is recognized when (a) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred, (c) the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collectability is probable in accordance with ASC Topic 95-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items .

 

The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements.

 

This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items , required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.


  19  

 

 

If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.

The FASB heard from stakeholders that the concept of extraordinary items causes uncertainty because it is unclear when an item should be considered both unusual and infrequent. Additionally, some stakeholders said that although users find information about unusual or infrequent events and transactions useful, they do not find the extraordinary item classification and presentation necessary to identify those events and transactions. Other stakeholders noted that it is extremely rare in current practice for a transaction or event to meet the requirements to be presented as an extraordinary item.

This ASU will also align more closely U.S. GAAP income statement presentation guidance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.  

 

The FASB has issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions).

The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations (public and private companies and not-for-profit organizations) that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.

In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and improves current GAAP by:

-Placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. A reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement, when certain criteria are met.

-Reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE).

-Changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs.

The ASU will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, for public companies. For private companies and not-for-profit organizations, the ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016; and for interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . Existing GAAP does not include explicit guidance about a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include: ( a ) software as a service; ( b ) platform as a service; ( c ) infrastructure as a service; and ( d ) other similar hosting arrangements.

The amendments add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software , which will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance already exists in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™  in paragraphs 985-605-55-121 through 55-123, but it is included in a Subtopic applied by cloud service providers to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software.

The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.

For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. For prospective transition, the only disclosure requirements at transition are the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, and a qualitative description of the financial statement line items affected by the change. For retrospective transition, the disclosure requirements at transition include the requirements for prospective transition and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-06, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions  (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments apply to master limited partnerships subject to the Master Limited Partnerships Subsections of Topic 260, Earnings per Share,  which receive net assets through a dropdown transaction.

The amendments specify that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required.

Current GAAP does not contain guidance for master limited partnerships that specifies how historical earnings per unit should be affected when a dropdown transaction occurs that is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all financial statements presented.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) . The amendments apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient.

Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment. Currently, investments valued using the practical expedient are categorized within the fair value hierarchy on the basis of whether the investment is redeemable with the investee at net asset value on the measurement date, never redeemable with the investee at net asset value, or redeemable with the investee at net asset value at a future date. For investments that are redeemable with the investee at a future date, a reporting entity must consider the length of time until those investments become redeemable to determine the classification within the fair value hierarchy.

The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient.

The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient be removed from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Earlier application is permitted.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements . The amendments cover a wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one of the types of amendments listed below.

1. Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.

2. Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied or misinterpreted.

3. Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.


  22  

 

 

4. Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification.

Transition guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.


  23  

 

 

U.S. GAAP currently requires that during the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Those adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities. The acquirer also must revise comparative information for prior periods presented in financial statements as needed, including revising depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of changes made to provisional amounts.

The amendments require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

The amendments require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.

The only disclosures required at transition should be the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. An entity should disclose that information in the first annual period of adoption and in the interim periods within the first annual period if there is a measurement-period adjustment during the first annual period in which the changes are effective.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets.

The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

Employment Agreements

 

None of the Company’s executive officers have employment agreements directly with the Company, although they may enter into such agreements in the future.

 

Director Compensation

 

On July 1, 2016, HWGG entered into a Consulting Services Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Ong Kooi Tatt pursuant to which Ong Kooi Tatt provides management services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Ong Kooi Tatt receives a monthly consulting fee of RM 12,000 (approximately US $2,856 per month). The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party by providing the other with written notice of termination not less than one month prior to the date of termination.

 

Other than the Consulting Agreement referenced above, we have not compensated our directors, in their capacities as such, since our respective formations.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 3.02  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

Shares Issued in Connection with the Share Exchange

 

On November 4, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange, all of the shares of HWGG were exchanged for 560,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock. This transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the shares were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no discounts or commissions involved.

 

Sales of Unregistered Securities of HWGG

 

Set forth below is information regarding shares of ordinary shares granted by HWGG within the past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Also included is information relating to the section of the Securities Act, or rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission, under which exemption from registration was claimed. Share and per share stock numbers below in this Item do not give effect to the Share Exchange on November 4, 2016, in which each share of HWGG stock outstanding at the time of the Share Exchange was automatically converted into shares of our Common Stock at the applicable conversion ration described elsewhere herein.

 

  32  

 

 

On August 1, 1985, HWGG issued one ordinary share to each of two persons.

 

On November 2, 1987, HWGG issued 99,998 ordinary share(s) to one person.

 

On November 2, 1990, HWGG issued 900,000 ordinary share(s) to one person.

 

These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

 

ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

 

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange, we changed our independent registered public accounting firm from Dov Weinstein & Co. C.P.A. (“Weinstein”) to DCAW (CPA) Limited.  The appointment of DCAW (CPA) Limited was approved by our board of directors to be effective immediately after the filing of our Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016.

 

The report of Weinstein on our financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Weinstein’s report contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of the change of our independent registered public accounting firm on November 8, 2016, there were no disagreements, resolved or not, with Weinstein on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weinstein would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years. During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and in the subsequent interim period through the date of the change of our independent registered public accounting firm on November 8, 2016, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided Weinstein with a copy of this current report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and requested that they furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the statements made in this current report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. The letter from Weinstein dated November 8, 2016 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through the date of appointment of DCAW (CPA) Limited on November 8, 2016, we have not, nor has any person on our behalf, consulted with DCAW (CPA) Limited regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has DCAW (CPA) Limited provided to us a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with our former independent registered public accounting firm, Weinstein .

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ho Wah Genting Group SDN BHD (“the Company”)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ho Wah Genting Group SDN BHD and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders equity, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(In U.S. dollars)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Ho Wah Genting Group SDN BHD (“HWGG” or “Company”), was incorporated in Malaysia on September 2, 1985. The Company is primarily engaged in property investment holding, travel agency services and information technology services.

 

On June 25, 2015 the Company acquired 65% of the equity interests of Beedo SDN BHD (“Beedo”). On July 7, 2015, Beedo increased its issued and paid-up shares from 2,500 to 1,000,000. HWGG acquired an additional 508,375 shares on that date, making its balance of shares 510,000 and effectively diluting its shareholding in Beedo from 65% to 51%. Beedo is mainly engaged in the provision of information technology services (see Note 10).

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HWGG and its subsidiary, Beedo, collectively referred to within as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and transactions

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“USD”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into USD using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

  F- 7  

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash in bank of $471,907 and $6,117 respectively.

 

Investments

 

The Company invests its excess cash primarily in equity instruments of high-quality corporate issuers listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. Such securities are classified as short-term investments. They are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value.

 

Changes in the value of these investments are primarily related to changes in their share prices and are considered to be temporary in nature. Except for declines in fair value that are not considered temporary, net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses upon sale of investments using the specific identification method.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. As of December31, 2015 and 2014, none of the Company’s assets and liabilities were required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables, payables and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

 

 Leasehold building

50 years
   
Computer and software 5 years
   
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
   
Leasehold improvement 10 years

 

  F- 8  

 

 

Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Goodwill is calculated as the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, at the reporting unit level.

 

Under applicable accounting guidance, the goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step must be performed to measure potential impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated possible impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination.

 

Measurement of the fair values of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit is consistent with the requirements of the fair value measurements accounting guidance, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The adjustments to measure the assets, liabilities, and intangibles at fair value are for the purpose of measuring the implied fair value of goodwill and such adjustments are not reflected in the consolidation balance sheet. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit. An impairment loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill and subsequent reversals of goodwill impairment losses are not permitted under applicable accounting guidance.

 

Goodwill amounting to $4,662 was generated from the acquisition of Beedo on June 25, 2015. In 2015, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down of $4,662, which eliminated all remaining goodwill of the Company. Goodwill was determined to have been impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income. Furthermore, the Company’s anticipated future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured. The goodwill write-down was included as a component of operating expense in 2015.

 

For intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company provides rental and information technology services to customers. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recognized $6,147 and $7,340 in lease revenue respectively, based upon its annual rental over the life of the operating lease. Lease revenue is recognized using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”). For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recognized $28,872 and nil respectively in revenue from the provision of information technology services. Revenue from the provision of information technology services is recognized when (a) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred, (c) the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collectability is probable in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, “Software – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”).

 

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 combined 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 current and non-current based on their characteristics.

 

  F- 9  

 

 

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 are classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Company recognized $121 and $1,072 income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the Combined Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

 

Loss per share

 

The loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal years. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there is no dilutive effect due to net loss for the periods.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company operated in three reportable business segments: (1) investment property holding which generates rental income from the leasing out of its leasehold building, (2) information technology services, which generates revenue from the provision of information technology services, (3) the others which comprise of general operating and administrative expenses, and other income/expenses not directly attributable to the sources of revenue of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Related party transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as:

 

(i) any person that holds the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families,

 

(ii) the Company’s management,

 

(iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or

 

(iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.

 

A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.

 

The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements.

 

This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.

 

If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.

 

The FASB heard from stakeholders that the concept of extraordinary items causes uncertainty because it is unclear when an item should be considered both unusual and infrequent. Additionally, some stakeholders said that although users find information about unusual or infrequent events and transactions useful, they do not find the extraordinary item classification and presentation necessary to identify those events and transactions. Other stakeholders noted that it is extremely rare in current practice for a transaction or event to meet the requirements to be presented as an extraordinary item.

 

This ASU will also align more closely U.S. GAAP income statement presentation guidance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items.

 

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.

 

The FASB has issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions).

The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations (public and private companies and not-for-profit organizations) that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.

In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and improves current GAAP by:

-Placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. A reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement, when certain criteria are met.

  F- 11  

 

 

-Reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE).

-Changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs.

The ASU will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, for public companies. For private companies and not-for-profit organizations, the ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016; and for interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . Existing GAAP does not include explicit guidance about a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include: ( a ) software as a service; ( b ) platform as a service; ( c ) infrastructure as a service; and ( d ) other similar hosting arrangements.

The amendments add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software , which will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance already exists in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™  in paragraphs 985-605-55-121 through 55-123, but it is included in a Subtopic applied by cloud service providers to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software.

The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.

For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. For prospective transition, the only disclosure requirements at transition are the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, and a qualitative description of the financial statement line items affected by the change. For retrospective transition, the disclosure requirements at transition include the requirements for prospective transition and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-06, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions  (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments apply to master limited partnerships subject to the Master Limited Partnerships Subsections of Topic 260, Earnings per Share,  that receive net assets through a dropdown transaction.

 

  F- 12  

 

 

The amendments specify that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required.

Current GAAP does not contain guidance for master limited partnerships that specifies how historical earnings per unit should be affected when a dropdown transaction occurs that is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all financial statements presented.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) . The amendments apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient.

Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment. Currently, investments valued using the practical expedient are categorized within the fair value hierarchy on the basis of whether the investment is redeemable with the investee at net asset value on the measurement date, never redeemable with the investee at net asset value, or redeemable with the investee at net asset value at a future date. For investments that are redeemable with the investee at a future date, a reporting entity must consider the length of time until those investments become redeemable to determine the classification within the fair value hierarchy.

The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient.

The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient be removed from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Earlier application is permitted.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements . The amendments cover a wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one of the types of amendments listed below.

1. Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.

 

  F- 13  

 

 

2. Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied or misinterpreted.

3. Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.

4. Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification.

Transition guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

  F- 14  

 

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.

U.S. GAAP currently requires that during the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Those adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities. The acquirer also must revise comparative information for prior periods presented in financial statements as needed, including revising depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of changes made to provisional amounts.

The amendments require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

The amendments require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.

The only disclosures required at transition should be the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. An entity should disclose that information in the first annual period of adoption and in the interim periods within the first annual period if there is a measurement-period adjustment during the first annual period in which the changes are effective.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets.

 

  F- 15  

 

 

The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

10. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On June 25, 2015 the Company acquired 1,625 common shares or 65% of the equity interests of Beedo for the sum of MYR 1,625 ($433). The purchase price was paid by the delivery to Beedo of MYR 1,625 ($433) in cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Beedo’s results of operations were included in the Company’s results beginning June 25, 2015. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the acquisition date as summarized in the following:

 

Purchase price   $ 433  
         
Purchase price allocation:        
Cash and cash equivalents     (26,632 )
Other assets     (1,651 )
Due from a related party     (98,533 )
Property, plant and equipment, net     (445 )
Accrued expenses     452  
Due to related parties     133,315  
         
Non-controlling interests     (2,277 )
         
Goodwill   $ 4,662  

 

  F- 19  

 

 

Beedo contributed net revenues of $28,872 and a net loss of $22,951 for the period from June 25, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

 

On July 7, 2015, Beedo increased its issued and paid-up shares from 2,500 to 1,000,000. On that same date, the Company acquired an additional 508,375 shares in Beedo for MYR 508,375 ($133,403), making its balance of shares 510,000 and effectively diluting its shareholding in Beedo from 65% to 51%.

 

In 2015, the Company wrote down goodwill of $4,662, which eliminated all remaining goodwill of the Company. Goodwill was determined to have been impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial revenue increases, which are highly uncertain. Furthermore, the Company’s anticipated future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured. The goodwill write-down was included as a component of operating expense in 2015.

 

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic No. 260,  “Earnings Per Share,”  (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

    For the years ended  
    December
31, 2015
    December
31, 2014
 
             
Net loss applicable to common shares   $ (160,080 )   $ (33 )
                 
Weighted average common shares outstanding (Basic)     1,000,000       1,000,000  
                 
Weighted average common shares outstanding (Diluted)     1,000,000       1,000,000  
                 
    $ (0.16 )   $ (0.00 )

 

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

The Company does not allocate any administrative expenses and other income/expenses to its reportable segments because these activities are managed at a corporate level. In addition, the specified amounts for income tax expense are not included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and these specified amounts are not regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Therefore, the Company has not disclosed income tax expense for each reportable segment.

 

Asset information by reportable segment is not reported to or reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and, therefore, the Company has not disclosed asset information for each reportable segment. The Company’s operations are located in Malaysia. All revenues are derived from customers in Malaysia. All of the Company’s operating assets are located in Malaysia.

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information article 10 of Regulation S-X.

 

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HWGG and its subsidiary, Beedo, collectively referred to within as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and transactions

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“USD”). The financial statements of the Company are translated into USD using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash in bank of $282,257 and $471,907 respectively.

 

  F- 27  

 

 

Investments

 

The Company invests its excess cash primarily   in equity instruments of high-quality corporate issuers listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. Such securities are classified as short-term investments. They are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value.

 

Changes in the value of these investments are primarily related to changes in their share prices and are considered to be temporary in nature. Except for declines in fair value that are not considered temporary, net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses upon sale of investments using the specific identification method.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. 

 

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of the Company’s assets and liabilities were required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables, payables and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Leasehold building 50 years
   
Computer and software 5 years
   
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
   
Leasehold improvement 10 years

 

  F- 28  

 

 

Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Goodwill is calculated as the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment, at the reporting unit level.

 

Under applicable accounting guidance, the goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step must be performed to measure potential impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated possible impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination.

 

Measurement of the fair values of the assets and liabilities of a reporting unit is consistent with the requirements of the fair value measurements accounting guidance, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The adjustments to measure the assets, liabilities, and intangibles at fair value are for the purpose of measuring the implied fair value of goodwill and such adjustments are not reflected in the consolidation balance sheet. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit. An impairment loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill and subsequent reversals of goodwill impairment losses are not permitted under applicable accounting guidance.

 

Goodwill amounting to $4,662 was generated from the acquisition of Beedo on June 25, 2015. In 2015, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down of $4,662, which eliminated all remaining goodwill of the Company. Goodwill was determined to have been impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income. Furthermore, the Company’s anticipated future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured. The goodwill write-down was included as a component of operating expense in 2015.

 

For intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company provides rental and information technology services to customers. Lease revenue is recognized using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate-General-Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”). Revenue from the provision of information technology services is recognized when (a) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred, (c) the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collectability is probable in accordance with ASC Topic 95-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”).

 

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 combined 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 current and non-current based on their characteristics.

 

  F- 29  

 

 

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 are classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax positions or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expense as of June 30, 2016, and 2015 respectively.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the Combined Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

 

 Loss per share

 

The loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal years. For the three and six months ended June30, 2016and 2015, there is no dilutive effect due to net loss for the periods.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. During the period ended June 30, 2016, the Company operated in three reportable business segments: (1) investment property holding which generates rental income from the leasing out of its leasehold building, (2) information technology services, which generates revenue from the provision of information technology services, (3) the others which comprise of general operating and administrative expenses, and other income/expenses not directly attributable to the sources of revenue of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Related party transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as:

 

(i) any person that holds the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families,

 

(ii) the Company’s management,

 

(iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or

 

(iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.

 

A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items .

 

  F- 30  

 

 

The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements.

 

This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items , required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.

 

If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.

 

The FASB heard from stakeholders that the concept of extraordinary items causes uncertainty because it is unclear when an item should be considered both unusual and infrequent. Additionally, some stakeholders said that although users find information about unusual or infrequent events and transactions useful, they do not find the extraordinary item classification and presentation necessary to identify those events and transactions. Other stakeholders noted that it is extremely rare in current practice for a transaction or event to meet the requirements to be presented as an extraordinary item.

 

This ASU will also align more closely U.S. GAAP income statement presentation guidance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items.

 

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.

 

The FASB has issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions).

 

The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations (public and private companies and not-for-profit organizations) that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.

 

In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and improves current GAAP by:

 

-Placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. A reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement, when certain criteria are met.

 

-Reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE).

 

-Changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs.

 

  F- 31  

 

 

The ASU will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, for public companies. For private companies and not-for-profit organizations, the ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016; and for interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . Existing GAAP does not include explicit guidance about a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Examples of cloud computing arrangements include: ( a ) software as a service; ( b ) platform as a service; ( c ) infrastructure as a service; and ( d ) other similar hosting arrangements.

 

The amendments add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software , which will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The guidance already exists in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™  in paragraphs 985-605-55-121 through 55-123, but it is included in a Subtopic applied by cloud service providers to determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software.

 

The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.

 

For public business entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

 

An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. For prospective transition, the only disclosure requirements at transition are the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, and a qualitative description of the financial statement line items affected by the change. For retrospective transition, the disclosure requirements at transition include the requirements for prospective transition and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2015-06, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions  (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments apply to master limited partnerships subject to the Master Limited Partnerships Subsections of Topic 260, Earnings per Share,  that receive net assets through a dropdown transaction.

 

The amendments specify that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required.

 

  F- 32  

 

 

Current GAAP does not contain guidance for master limited partnerships that specifies how historical earnings per unit should be affected when a dropdown transaction occurs that is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control.

 

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all financial statements presented.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) . The amendments apply to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient.

 

Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment. Currently, investments valued using the practical expedient are categorized within the fair value hierarchy on the basis of whether the investment is redeemable with the investee at net asset value on the measurement date, never redeemable with the investee at net asset value, or redeemable with the investee at net asset value at a future date. For investments that are redeemable with the investee at a future date, a reporting entity must consider the length of time until those investments become redeemable to determine the classification within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient.

 

The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The retrospective approach requires that an investment for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient be removed from the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. Earlier application is permitted.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements . The amendments cover a wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one of the types of amendments listed below.

 

1. Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.

 

  F- 33  

 

 

2. Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied or misinterpreted.

 

3. Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.

 

4. Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

 

The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification.

 

Transition guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09. The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

  F- 34  

 

 

All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.

 

U.S. GAAP currently requires that during the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Those adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities. The acquirer also must revise comparative information for prior periods presented in financial statements as needed, including revising depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of changes made to provisional amounts.

 

The amendments require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

 

The amendments require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

 

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.

 

The only disclosures required at transition should be the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. An entity should disclose that information in the first annual period of adoption and in the interim periods within the first annual period if there is a measurement-period adjustment during the first annual period in which the changes are effective.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets.

 

The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

 

  F- 35  

 

 

The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

10. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On June 25, 2015 the Company acquired 1,625 shares of common stock, or 65% of the equity interests, of Beedo for the sum of MYR 1,625 ($433). The purchase price was paid by the delivery to Beedo of MYR 1,625 ($433) in cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. Beedo’s results of operations were included in the Company’s results beginning June 25, 2015. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the acquisition date as summarized in the following:

 

Purchase price   $ 433  
         

Purchase price allocation:

       
Cash and cash equivalents     (26,632 )
Other assets     (1,651 )
Due from a related party     (98,533 )
Property, plant and equipment, net     (445 )
Accrued expenses     452  
Due to related parties     133,315  
         
Non-controlling interests     (2,277 )
         
Goodwill   $ 4,662  

 

On July 7, 2015, Beedo increased its issued and paid-up shares from 2,500 to 1,000,000. HWGG acquired an additional 508,375 shares on that date, for MYR 508,375 ($133,403), making its balance of shares 510,000 and effectively diluting its ownership percentage in Beedo from 65% to 51%.

 

In 2015, the Company wrote down goodwill of $4,662, which eliminated all remaining goodwill of the Company. Goodwill was determined to have been impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial revenue increases, which are highly uncertain. Furthermore, the Company’s anticipated future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured. The goodwill write-down was included as a component of operating expense in 2015.

 

Beedo contributed net revenues of $118,625 and a net profit of $13,296 for the period ended June 30, 2016.

 

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic No. 260,  “Earnings Per Share,”  (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

    For the three months ended     For the six months ended

Weighted average common shares outstanding (Basic)     1,000,000       1,000,000       1,000,000       1,000,000

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

HWGG has provided to Company a true and complete copy of each of the HWGG Personal Property Leases, and in the case of any oral HWGG Personal Property Lease, a written summary of the material terms of such HWGG Personal Property Lease. The HWGG Personal Property Leases are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in full force and effect.

Neither HWGG nor any HWGG Subsidiary has waived any rights under any HWGG Personal Property Lease which would be in effect at or after the Closing.

(d)          Except as set forth on Section 3.19(d) of the HWGG Disclosure Letter , HWGG and each HWGG Subsidiary has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or right to use, all of its assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(b)          In the case of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 arising from a claim of a third party (including the IRS or any other Governmental Authority) (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Indemnified Party must give a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly (but in no event later than twenty (20) days) after the Indemnified Party's receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party or parties of their indemnification obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually harmed thereby. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party Claim in its name and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor or (ii) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of such defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, it will within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so, and the Indemnified Party will, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to, or is not entitled under this Section 6.6 to, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such Third Party Claim which has been or will be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will not be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim which has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof has been stayed, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnified Party or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnified Party material economic loss. The Indemnifying Party's right to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any Third Party Claim; provided that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnified Party to agree to any settlement that that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnified Party other than the delivery of a release for such Third Party Claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim over the objection of the Indemnified Party; provided , however , that consent by the Indemnified Party to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to direct the defense.

 

52

 

 

(c)          With respect to any direct indemnification claim that is not a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) days, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such Claim Notice and will have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party responds within such thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Claim Notice and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Parties will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available under this Agreement, any other ancillary documents contemplated by the Agreement, or applicable Law.

The obligations of the parties under this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

No files, books or records of Buyer existing at the Closing Date shall be destroyed by Seller or Buyer after Closing but prior to the expiration of any period during which such files, books or records are required to be maintained and preserved by applicable law without giving Buyer at least 30 days’ prior written notice, during which time Buyer shall have the right to examine and to remove any such files, books and records prior to their destruction.

 

(b)           Following the Closing, Buyer shall afford to Seller and its authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives reasonable access (including using reasonable efforts to give access to persons or firms possessing information) and duplicating rights during normal business hours to Information within Buyer’s possession or control relating to its business insofar as such access is reasonably required by the Seller. Information may be requested under this Section 10.4(b) for, without limitation, audit, accounting, claims, litigation and tax purposes as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations and for performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. No files, books or records of Buyer existing at the Closing Date shall be destroyed by Buyer after Closing but prior to the expiration of any period during which such files, books or records are required to be maintained and preserved by applicable law without giving the Seller at least 30 days’ prior written notice, during which time the Seller shall have the right to examine and to remove any such files, books and records prior to their destruction.

 

 

 

 

(c)           At all times following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to make available to the other on written request, the current and former officers, directors, employees and agents of Buyer for any of the purposes set forth in Section 10.4(a) or (b) above or as witnesses to the extent that such persons may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which Buyer may from time to be involved.

 

(d)           The party to whom any Information or witnesses are provided under this Section 10.4 shall reimburse the provider thereof for all out-of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably incurred in providing such Information or witnesses.

 

(e)           Seller and Buyer and their respective employees and agents shall each hold in strict confidence all Information concerning the other party in their possession or furnished by the other or the other’s representative pursuant to this Agreement with the same degree of care as such party utilizes as to such party’s own confidential information (except to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (ii) later lawfully acquired from any other source by such party), and each party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person, except such party’s auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants and advisors or persons to whom such party has a valid obligation to disclose such Information, unless compelled to disclose such Information by judicial or administrative process or, as advised by its counsel, by other requirements of law.

 

(f)           Seller and Buyer shall each use their best efforts to forward promptly to the other party all notices, claims, correspondence and other materials which are received and determined to pertain to the other party.

 

10.5         Guarantees, Surety Bonds and Letter of Credit Obligations . In the event that Buyer is obligated for any debts, obligations or liabilities of its business prior to the Closing by virtue of any outstanding guarantee, performance or surety bond or letter of credit provided or arranged by Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use his best efforts to cause to be issued replacements of such bonds, letters of credit and guarantees and to obtain any amendments, novations, releases and approvals necessary to release and discharge fully Buyer from any liability thereunder following the Closing. Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer from and against, any costs or losses incurred by Buyer arising from such bonds, letters of credit and guarantees and any liabilities arising therefrom and shall reimburse Buyer for any payments that Buyer may be required to pay pursuant to enforcement of its obligations relating to such bonds, letters of credit and guarantees.

 

10.6         Filings and Consents . Seller, at his risk, shall determine what, if any, filings and consents must be made and/or obtained prior to Closing to consummate the purchase and sale of the Assets. The Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 12.1 below) against any Losses (as defined in Section 12.1 below) incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Parties by virtue of the failure to make and/or obtain any such filings or consents. Recognizing that the failure to make and/or obtain any filings or consents may cause Buyer to incur Losses or otherwise adversely affect Buyer, Seller confirms that the provisions of this Section 10.6 will not limit Buyer’s right to treat such failure as the failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close pursuant to Article VIII above.

 

 

 

 

10.7         Insurance . The Seller acknowledges that on the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing, any insurance coverage and bonds provided by Buyer for the Seller, and all certificates of insurance evidencing that Seller maintain any required insurance by virtue of insurance provided by Buyer, will terminate with respect to any insured damages resulting from matters occurring subsequent to Closing.

 

10.8         Agreements Regarding Taxes .

 

(a)           Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date . Buyer will include the income and loss of the Assets (including any deferred income triggered into income by Reg. §1.1502-13 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Reg. §1.1502-19) on Buyer’s consolidated federal income tax returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income taxes attributable to such income. Buyer agrees to allocate income, gain, loss, deductions and credits between the period up to Closing (the “Pre-Closing Period”) and the period after Closing (the “Post-Closing Period”) based on a closing of the books of the Assets, and both Seller and Buyer agree not to make an election under Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) to ratably allocate the year’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. Seller and Buyer agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Seller’s purchase of the Assets on his tax returns to the extent permitted by Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B). The Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for any additional tax owed by Buyer (including tax owed by Buyer due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transaction engaged in by Buyer (not related to the Share Exchange) during the Pre-Closing Period or on the Closing Date before Seller’s purchase of the Assets. Seller will furnish tax information to Buyer for inclusion in Buyer’s consolidated federal income tax return for the period which includes the Closing Date in accordance with Buyer’s past custom and practice.

 

(b)           Audits . Buyer will allow Seller and its counsel to participate at Seller’s expense in any audit of Buyer’s consolidated federal income tax returns to the extent that such audit raises issues that relate to and increase the tax liability of Seller. Buyer shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to engage professionals and direct the representation of Buyer in connection with any such audit and the resolution thereof, without receiving the consent of Seller or any other party acting on behalf of Seller, provided that Buyer will not settle any such audit in a manner which would materially adversely affect Seller after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be reasonable in the case of a person that owned the Assets both before and after the Closing Date. In the event that after Closing any tax authority informs Seller of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of taxes which pertain to Buyer, during the period prior to Closing, Seller must promptly notify Buyer of the same within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice from the tax authority. In the event Seller does not notify Buyer within such 15 day period, Seller will indemnify Buyer for any incremental interest, penalty or other assessments resulting from the delay in giving notice. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions of this Section 10.8 shall control over the provisions of Section 12.2 below.

 

 

 

 

(c)           Cooperation on Tax Matters . Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to Buyer relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, Seller agrees to allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records.

 

10.9          ERISA . Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate its participation in, and withdraw from, any employee benefit plans sponsored by Buyer, and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully in such termination and withdrawal. Without limitation, Seller shall be solely responsible for (i) all liabilities under those employee benefit plans notwithstanding any status as an employee benefit plan sponsored by Buyer, and (ii) all liabilities for the payment of vacation pay, severance benefits, and similar obligations, including, without limitation, amounts which are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date with respect thereto. Seller acknowledges and agrees that he is solely responsible for providing continuation health coverage, as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), to each person, if any, participating in an employee benefit plan subject to COBRA with respect to such employee benefit plan as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any person whose employment with Buyer is terminated after the Closing Date.

 

XI. TERMINATION.

 

This Agreement may be terminated at, or at any time prior to, the Closing by mutual written consent of Seller, Buyer and the PrivateCo. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, it shall become wholly void and of no further force and effect and there shall be no further liability or obligation on the part of any party except to pay such expenses as are required of such party.

 

 

 

 

XII. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

12.1          Indemnification by Seller . Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Buyer and the PrivateCo, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Buyer Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement (including any other agreement of Seller to indemnify set forth in this Agreement) on the part of Seller under this Agreement, (iii) any Assigned Asset or Assigned Liability or any other debt, liability or obligation of Buyer prior to the Closing, (iv) the conduct and operations, (A) prior to Closing, of the business of Buyer unrelated to the assets that are the subject of the Share Exchange (B) whether before or after Closing, of (X) the business of Buyer pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities or (Y) the business of the Buyer prior to the Closing, (v) claims asserted (including claims for payment of taxes), whether before or after Closing, (A) against Buyer or (B) pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities or to the business of Buyer prior to the Closing, or (vi) any federal or state income tax payable by Buyer or the PrivateCo and attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to the business of Buyer prior to the Closing. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” is a person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another specified person or entity.

 

12.2         Third Party Claims .

 

(a)           Defense . If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitees”) by a third party after the Closing for which Seller has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1, then the Indemnitee shall notify Seller (the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, in connection therewith, to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party Claim, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (b) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

 

 

 

 

(b)           Failure to Defend . If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided however, that the Indemnitor shall (i) promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) shall pay, in advance of any settlement or proceedings and in installments as reasonably agreed to by the parties, such sums and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim and any settlement thereof. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.

 

12.3         Non-Third-Party Claims . Upon discovery of any claim for which the Seller has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Seller of such claim and, in any case, shall give Seller such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Seller shall not excuse Seller from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

 

12.4         Survival . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.4, all representations and warranties made by Buyer and Seller in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of all Indemnitors under this Article XII shall terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except with respect to (a) liability for any item as to which, prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, any Indemnitee shall have asserted a Claim in writing, which Claim shall identify its basis with reasonable specificity, in which case the liability for such Claim shall continue until it shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated, (b) liability of any party for Losses for which such party has an indemnification obligation, incurred as a result of such party’s breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by such party after the Closing, (c) liability of Seller for Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party due to breaches of its representations and warranties in Article IV of this Agreement, and (d) liability of Seller for Losses arising out of Third-Party Claims for which Seller has an indemnification obligation, which liability shall survive until the statute of limitation applicable to any third party’s right to assert a Third-Party Claim bars assertion of such claim.
