Notes To Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended October 31, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Tianci International,
Inc. (the “Company”, “Tianci”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Freedom Petroleum, Inc.
on June 13, 2012. In May 2015, the Company changed its name to Steampunk Wizards, Inc. and on November 9, 2016, the Company changed its
name to Tianci International, Inc. The Company is a holding company. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had one operating subsidiary,

Reorganization
On
March 3, 2023 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with RQS United Group Limited (“RQS United”) and RQS
Capital Limited (“RQS Capital”), which was the sole shareholder of RQS United (the “Exchange Agreement”).
RQS United owns
As a result of the Share Exchange, RQS United became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former RQS United stockholder became our controlling stockholder. The share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with RQS United as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party for accounting purposes. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of RQS United and its consolidated subsidiary, Roshing.
Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement, the Company ceased to be a shell company.
RQS United is a holding company incorporated on November 4, 2022 in the Republic of Seychelles. RQS United has no substantive operations other than holding 90% of the outstanding share capital of its subsidiary, Roshing, which was incorporated on June 22, 2011 in Hong Kong, is principally engaged in global logistics services, sales of electronic device hardware components, development of logistics software and websites, technical consulting, and software maintenance.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The interim financial information referred to above has been prepared and presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The interim financial information has been prepared on a basis consistent with prior interim periods and years and includes all disclosures that are necessary and required by applicable laws and regulations. These interim financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023.
Results of the three months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2024 or any other future periods.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tianci and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency and functional currency. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
6 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. The Company maintains its bank accounts in United States and Hong Kong.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due
from customers which are generally collected within six months. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers
historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history
and financial condition of the customer. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful
accounts is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance
for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of October 31, 2023 and July
31, 2023,
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standard defines fair value, establishes as a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
· | 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, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, 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 measurement. |
Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash, accounts receivable, due from related party, accounts payable, and due to related parties) are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. This standard requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identifies the contract with the customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
The Company records revenue net of sales taxes which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.
7 |
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:
a. Global Logistics Services
The Company provides global logistics services, including ocean freight forwarding and related logistics solutions. As a non-asset-based carrier, the Company does not own transportation assets.
The Company derives its revenues by entering into agreements that are generally comprised of a single performance obligation, which is that freight is shipped for and received by the customer via either container ships or general cargo vessels. The most significant drivers of changes in gross revenues and related transportation expenses are volume and weight.
In general, each shipment transaction or service order constitutes a separate contract with the customer. A performance obligation is created once a customer agreement with an agreed upon transaction price exists. The transaction price, which is based on volume, weight, and shipping time, is fixed and not contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any other event.
The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time when freight is shipped to destination port and accepted by its customers. The Company does not have significant variable consideration in its contracts. Taxes assessed concurrently with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenues.
The Company evaluates whether amounts billed to customers should be reported as gross or net revenue. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the services, when it assumes risk of loss, when it has discretion in setting the prices for the services to the customers, and when the Company has the ability to direct the use of the services provided by the third party. In most cases we act as an indirect carrier. When acting as an indirect carrier, we issue a Fixture Note to customers as the contract of carriage. In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, we receive a Master Ocean Bill of Lading.
The Company’s evaluation determined that it is in control of establishing the transaction price, managing all aspects of the shipment process and assumes the risk of loss for delivery, collection, and returns. Based on its evaluation of the control of services and risk involved, the Company determined that it acts as a principal rather than an agent in global logistics service arrangements and such revenues are reported on a gross basis.
b. Electronic Device Hardware Components Products Sales
The Company is a distributor of electronic device hardware components and generates revenue through resale of these components. The Company’s products include high performance computer chips, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, 4G network modules, LED screens, and touch screens. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Consideration, an entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. Otherwise, the entity is an agent in the transaction. The Company evaluates three indicators of control in accordance with ASC 606: 1) For hardware sales, the Company is the most visible entity to customers and assumes fulfillment risk and risks related to the acceptability of products, including addressing customer complaints directly and handling of product returns or refunds directly; 2) The Company is exposed to inventory risk before transfer of control to customers; and 3) The Company determines the resale price of hardware products. After evaluating the above circumstances, the Company considers itself the principal of these arrangements and records hardware sales revenue on a gross basis.
Hardware sales contracts are on a fixed price basis with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Company has delivered products that have been accepted by its customer with no future obligations. The Company generally permits returns of products due to product failure; however, returns are historically insignificant.
8 |
c. Software and Website Development Services
The Company generates revenue by developing customized freight shipping and related logistic software and websites, which are generally on a fixed-priced basis. The software helps wholesalers, ecommerce retailers, and freight shipping providers to manage complex workflows and improve work efficiency. The Company generally has no enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and is only entitled to payment after software is fully developed, delivered, tested, and accepted by the customer. As a result, revenues from software development contracts are recognized at a point in time when services are fully rendered, and written acceptances have been received from customers.
d. Technical Consulting and Training Services
The Company provides technical consulting and training services to help customers, generally its existing customers, to better understand and properly use its customized software and related hardware. Services are generally carried out on a per-time fixed rate basis. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when service is rendered and the customer confirms the completion of consulting or training.
e. Software Maintenance and Business Promotion Services
The Company provides software maintenance service to keep customer’s software up to date and assists customers in promoting business with ongoing marketing support. The Company charges a flat rate for a fixed duration on a subscription basis, generally 12 months. Revenue is recognized ratably each month over the contract period.
f. Business Consulting Services
The Company provides business consulting services to help customers apply for immigration and non-immigration visas. The Company is responsible for performing background checks, case analysis, and preparing related application paper works. The Company charges a flat fee for the visa application services. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when an application is submitted with proper authorities.
Cost of revenues
For global logistics services, cost of revenue consists primarily of cargo space charged by direct ocean carriers, freight forwarders and ancillary logistics services fees.
For hardware products sales, the cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of hardware products sold.
For software, consulting, services-based revenue, the cost of revenue consists primarily of costs paid to outsourced service providers and compensation expenses paid the Company’s service vendor.
Advertising costs

Operating leases
Effective
August 1, 2022, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does
not require the Company to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for
any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or less,
a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the
practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Upon adoption
of ASU 2016-02 effective August 1, 2022, the Company recognized a $
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments for an operating lease transitioning to ASC 842 using the effective date are based on future payments at the transition date and on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception; therefore, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.
The lease
for the Company’s Hong Kong office facility was early terminated in September 2023, which resulted in a derecognition of $
Income taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items which are non-taxable or non-deductible. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
10 |
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income (loss). In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statements of operations, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is dealt with in equity. Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax for uncertain tax positions are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.
The Hong Kong tax returns filed for 2016 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities.
The US tax returns filed for 2019 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities.
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the diluted effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended October 31, 2023, there were dilutive shares outstanding related to the convertible Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 4). For the three months ended October 31, 2022, there were dilutive shares outstanding.
Noncontrolling Interests
The Company’s noncontrolling interest represents
the minority shareholder’s
Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation, other business entity, or an individual, are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
11 |
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update provide an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which updates the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2023 as the Company is qualified as an emerging growth company. The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2023 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
On March 3, 2023, we acquired ownership of RQS United Group Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“RQS United”), pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated March 3, 2023 among the Company, RQS United and RQS Capital Limited, the prior owner of RQS Limited.
RQS United is a holding company incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles. RQS United has no operations other than holding 90% of the outstanding share capital of its subsidiary, Roshing International Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Roshing”). Roshing was incorporated on June 22, 2011 and is primarily engaged in logistics solutions, including sea freight forwarding, and logistic software development and maintenance. We also generate revenue from the sale of electronic parts, and certain technical consulting services.
As a non-asset-based freight forwarder, we currently do not own or operate any transportation assets. By acting as an indirect carrier, we issue fixture notes to customers as the contract of carriage. In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, we receive a contract of carriage known as a Master Ocean Bill of Lading (MOBL). By leveraging our senior management’s expertise on the global logistics industry and adopting an asset-light strategy at the early stage, we’ve seen a significant growth on logistics revenue this quarter. Our business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.
We are optimistic about the future of the logistics service industry and expect that the fundamental supply and demand relationship will enable us to achieve a sustainable business model in the long run. We expect that the global demand for coal, grains and iron ore, electric vehicles, and green energy equipment will continue to increase in response to changes in international trade flows and growing emerging market economies, as well as post pandemic stimulus policies in many countries, boosting demand on global logistics services. Our vision is to continue exploring opportunities in Asia-Pacific, including Vietnam, Singapore, and other emerging markets to increase our customer base and global logistics service revenue.

Revenues
During the three months ended October 31, 2023, our revenue increased by $1,202,278, or approximately 9.6 times, to $1,326,648 for the three months ended October 31, 2023 from $124,370 for the three months ended October 31, 2022. The increase was mainly attributed to the launch of our global logistics service, which contributed $1,181,720 to our revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2023, representing approximately 89% of revenue in the quarter ended October 31, 2023.
Our revenues from our revenue streams are categorized as follows:
For the Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Global Logistics Service Revenue | $ | 1,181,720 | $ | – | ||||

Other Service Revenue | 85,026 | 26,370 | ||||||
$ | 1,326,648 | $ | 124,370 |
Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues increased by $984,316, or approximately 9.1 times, to $1,092,871 for the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to $108,555 for the three months ended October 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the launch of global logistics services.
Our cost of revenues from our revenue categories are summarized as follows:
For the Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Cost of Global Logistics Service | $ | 1,029,970 | $ | – | ||||

Cost of Other Service | 12,893 | 35,355 | ||||||
$ | 1,092,871 | $ | 108,555 |
Our cost of revenues from global logistics services was $1,029,970 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. We did not have any cost of global logistics service in the same period in 2022 as this was a brand new service line. Cost of global logistics services primarily include the cargo space charged by direct ocean carriers, freight forwarders and ancillary logistics services fees.
Our cost of revenues from hardware product sales decreased by $23,192, or approximately 32%, to $50,008 for the three months ended October 31, 2023, from $73,200 for the three months ended October 31, 2022.

Total | ||||||||
Gross Profit Margin | $ | 233,777 | $ | 15,815 | ||||
Gross Profit Percentage | 17.6% | 12.7% |
Our gross profit increased by $217,962 to $233,777 for the three months ended October 31, 2023 from $15,815 for the three months October 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the launch of global logistics service, as discussed above. For the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, our overall gross profit margin was 17.6% and 12.7%, respectively. The gross profit margin of the new global logistics service was 12.8%, which is likely to increase as demand picks up post-pandemic with relatively stable global logistics supply. Our growth profit margin of hardware products for the three months ended October 31, 2023 decreased to 16.5%, from 25.3% for the three months ended October 31, 2022 due to pierce competition and relatively low demand on hardware products. The gross profit margin of our other services revenue increased to 84.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2023, driven and started generating profit for the Company
Operating Expenses
There was significant change in our total operating expenses, which were $220,776 and $17,171 for the three months ended October 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, commissions, advertising, rent and professional fees for the compliance service as a public company. The increase was mainly due to the increased commission expense for referring the global logistics customers, and compliance service professional fees.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expense amounted to $ 19,113 and $ (224) for the three months ended October 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The change was due to the increase in revenue realized during the recent quarter.
Net Loss
The Company realized a net loss of $6,112 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. However, because the Company owns only 90% of its operating subsidiary, Roshing, 10% of that company’s net income was attributed to the minority interest. Therefore the net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2023 attributable to the shareholders of Tianci International was $15,784. In comparison, during the three months ended October 31st 2023, the Company’s net loss was $1,132 and, after deducting the net loss attributable to the 10% minority interest in Roshing, net loss attributable to shareholders of Tianci International was $1,019. We believe our pivot into the logistics service gives our shareholders an opportunity and exposure at a great sector as the global economy recovers from the pandemic.
22 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations. As of October 31, 2023, we have a working capital deficit of $(286,400), our cash amounted to $380,833, our current assets were $631,629 and our current liabilities were $918,029. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through capital contributions and advances from shareholders and private investors. At October 31, 2023 we owed $276,077 to related parties (See Note 3 of the interim financial statement). We also owed $300,800 to officers for compensation accrued under their employment agreements that they have agreed to defer. The deferred compensation is classified with accrued liabilities and other payables.
Because 63% of our liabilities are owed to related parties, we believe that our liquidity and working capital will be sufficient to sustain our business operation for the next twelve months. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if there are changes in business conditions or other developments or if the company finds and wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure, or similar actions.
We started providing shipping & freight forwarding services during the quarter ended October 31, 2023, which may require significant capital expenditure for developing the business. If we determined that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
The following table summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the three months ended | ||||||||

Operating activities
Net cash of $124,524 provided by operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable of $195,232, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $140,354 which was partially offset by the increase of $ 195,629 in accounts receivable.
Net cash of $14,903 used in operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2022 was primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $111,749, which was partially offset by the increase of $98,202 in accounts payable.
Investing activities
The company has no investing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.
23 |
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2023 was $33. This was attributable to our repayment of a working capital advance by a related party in the amount of $90,000, which was offset by the $89,967 in working capital advance from related parties.
Net cash of $36,436 provided by financing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a working capital advance from a related party amounting to $62,775, the direct payment of operating expenses by shareholders amounting to $23,977, and the payments of Shenzhen China rent by related parities amounting to $3,519. Cash inflow was partially offset by repayment of a working capital advance to related party in the amount of $53,835.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting health crisis has caused, and continues to cause, significant and widespread disruptions to the Hong Kong and global economies, financial and consumer markets. We believe, however, that the COVID-19 outbreak has had very limited impact on our business.
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health officials and other governmental authorities have imposed and may impose new mitigation measures, regulations and requirements to address the spread of COVID-19. Public health officials and other governmental authorities also have imposed directives and may impose additional directives that could require changes in our business practices. The scope and duration of these mitigation measures and directives continue to evolve throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the future course of COVID-19 and further outbreaks, we may experience restrictions and temporary closures of our offices.
Although we have continued to serve our clients and operate our business throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that future events will not have an effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition because the extent and duration of the health crisis remains uncertain. Future adverse developments in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, including further outbreaks and new strains or variants of COVID-19, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions and safety regulations in response to COVID-19, changes in consumer behavior and health concerns, the pace of economic activity in the wake of COVID-19, or other similar issues could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future, or our financial results and business performance in future periods.
We continue to actively manage the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as we face continued uncertainty regarding the impact COVID-19 will have on our financial operations in the near and long term. The need for, or timing of, any future actions in response to COVID-19 is largely dependent on the mitigation of the spread of the virus along with the adoption and continued effectiveness of vaccines, status of government orders, directives and guidelines, recovery of the business environment, global supply chain conditions, economic conditions, and consumer demand for our products and services, all of which are highly uncertain.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
24 |
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2023, there was no accounting estimate we made that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty and was critical to our results.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.
ITEM 3 | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
ITEM 4 | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms as a result of the following material weaknesses:
· | Because of the company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. |
· | There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is limited in number, resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. |
· | The Company does not have a sitting audit committee financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process. |
· | There is a lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third-party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third-party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions. |
25 |
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the quarter ended October 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
