EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.

 

Public Offering Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the public offering of 1,100,000 shares of common stock of the Registrant (the “Public Offering Prospectus”) through the underwriter named on the cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus.
   
Resale Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the resale by the selling stockholders set forth therein of 30,169,516 shares of common stock of the Registrant (the “Resale Prospectus”).

 

The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

 

they contain different outside and inside front covers and back covers;
   
they contain different Offering sections in the Prospectus Summary section beginning on page 3;
   
they contain different Use of Proceeds sections on page 22;
   
a Selling Stockholder section is included in the Resale Prospectus;
   
a Selling Stockholder Plan of Distribution is inserted; and
   
the Legal Matters section in the Resale Prospectus on page 101 deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter.

 

The Registrant has included in this Registration Statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus (the “Alternate Pages”) to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Registrant. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages and will be used for the resale offering by the selling stockholders.

 

 
 

 

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell nor does it seek an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED AUGUST 24, 2023

 

AGAPE ATP CORPORATION

 

 

 

1,100,000 of Shares of Common Stock

 

 

 

This is a firm commitment initial public offering of 1,100,000 of our shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. We anticipate that the initial public offering price of our shares will be between US$5.50 and US$6.50 per share. The Underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares if any such shares are taken. We have granted the Underwriter a 15% over-allotment option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 165,000 additional common stock from us at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts, for 45 days from the closing of this offering to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Underwriter exercises the option in full, the total underwriting discounts payable will be $657,800, and the total proceeds to us, before expenses, will be $7,564,700.

 

Our common stock currently is quoted on the OTC Markets – Pink Sheets, operated by OTC Markets Group, under the symbol “AATP.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTC Markets – Pink Sheets on May 11, 2023 was $6.00 per share.

 

We have applied to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ATPC”. There can be no assurance that our application will be approved. The closing of this offering is contingent upon the successful listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Investing in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our common stock.

 

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you.

Overview

 

Agape ATP Corporation provides health solution advisory services to its clients. We primarily focus our efforts on attracting customers in Malaysia. We have an advisory services center called the “ATP Zeta Health Program”, which is a health program designed to effectively prevent diseases caused by polluted environments, unhealthy dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyles, and the promotion of health. The program aims to promote improved health and longevity through a combination of modern health supplements, proper nutrition and advice from skilled nutritionists and/or dieticians. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our revenue was approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and our gross profit was approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our revenue was approximately $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and our gross profit was approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

 

In order to strengthen the Company’s supply chain, on May 8, 2020, the Company acquired approximately 99.99% of Agape Superior Living Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia company (“ASL”), with the goal of securing an established network marketing sales channel that has been established in Malaysia for the past 18 years. ASL has been offering the Company’s ATP Zeta Health Program as part of its product lineup. As such, the acquisition creates synergy in the Company’s operation by boosting the Company’s retail and marketing capabilities. The acquired subsidiary allows the Company to fulfill its mission of “helping people to create health and wealth” by providing a financially rewarding business opportunity to distributors and quality products to distributors and customers who seek a healthy lifestyle.

 

The Company deems creating public awareness on wellness and wellbeing lifestyle as essential to enhance the provision of its health solution advisory services; and therefore, on September 11, 2020, incorporated Wellness ATP International Holdings Sdn, Bhd. (“WATP”). Upon its establishment, WATP started collaborating with ASL to carry out various wellness programs.

 

On November 11, 2021, Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) formed a joint-venture entity, DSY Wellness International Sdn. Bhd. (“DSY Wellness”) with Mr. Steve Yap following which Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) owns 60% of the equity interest of DSY Wellness, to pursue the business of providing complementary health therapies. The establishment of DSY Wellness is a further expansion of our business into the health and wellness industry. Mr. Steve Yap owns 33 proprietary formulas (the “Proprietary Formulas”) for treating non-communicable disease and the Company is currently in discussion with Mr. Steve Yap to bring the Proprietary Formulas into the company for joint commercialization. Mr. Steve Yap also has existing clients receiving traditional complimentary medicine or “TCM” in Indonesia and China.

 

Our Products

 

We offer three series of programs which consist of different services and products: ATP Zeta Health Program, ÉNERGÉTIQUE and BEAUNIQUE.

 

Our ATP Zeta Health Program is a health program designed to promote health and general wellbeing designed to prevent health diseases caused by polluted environments, unhealthy dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyles.

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, which we believe represent certain of the material risks to our business, together with the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, before you make a decision to invest in our shares of common stock. Please note that the risks highlighted here are not the only ones that we may face. For example, additional risks presently unknown to us or that we currently consider immaterial or unlikely to occur could also impair our operations. If any of the following events occur or any additional risks presently unknown to us actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

Our business and reputation may be affected by product liability claims, litigation, customer complaints, product tampering, food safety issues, food-borne illnesses, health threats, quality control concerns or adverse publicity relating to our products. Product liability insurance of our supplier may not cover our liability sufficiently or at all.

 

Like other consumer product manufacturers, the sale of our products involves an inherent risk of our products being found to be unfit for consumption or cause illness. Products may be rendered unfit for consumption due to raw materials or product contamination or degeneration, presence of microbials, illegal tampering of products by unauthorized third parties or other problems arising during the various stages of the procurement, production, transportation and storage processes. The occurrence of such problems may result in customer complaints, fines, penalties or adverse publicity causing serious damage to our reputation and brand, as well as product liability claims, other legal disputes and loss of revenues. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to recall our products. Even if a situation does not necessitate a product recall, we cannot assure you that product liability claims or other legal disputes will not be asserted against us as a result. Product liability insurance of our supplier may not cover our liability sufficiently or at all and will not cover liability that arises out of our default such as mishandling, poor storage condition and/or contamination of the products by us. As a result, a product liability or other judgment against us, or a product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our business is susceptible to food-borne illnesses. We cannot assure you that we are able to effectively prevent all diseases or illnesses caused by our products or contamination of our products. Furthermore, our reliance on third-party product suppliers means that food-borne illness incidents could be caused by our suppliers outside of our control. New illnesses may develop in the future, or diseases with long incubation periods could arise that could give rise to claims or allegations on a retroactive basis. Reports in the media of instances of food-borne illnesses or health threats of our products or any of their major ingredients could adversely and significantly affect our sales, and have significant negative impact on our results of operations. This risk exists even if it were later determined that the illness or health threat in fact was not caused by our products.

 

In addition, adverse publicity about health and safety concerns, whether unfounded or not, may discourage consumers from buying our products. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused personal injury or illness could adversely affect our reputation and our corporate and brand image. If consumers were to lose confidence in our brand and reputation, we could suffer long-term or even permanent declines in our sales and results of operation. The amount of negative news, customers complaints and claims against us may also be very costly and may divert our management’s attention from our business operation.

 

We operate in a highly competitive market. If we do not compete effectively, our prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The health and wellness market in Malaysia is a mature and a highly competitive market, with companies offering a variety of competitive products and services. We expect competition in our market to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new or enhanced products and services that are potentially more competitive than our products and services. The health and wellness market has a multitude of participants in the domestic market, including, but not limited, to retail health supplement providers, pharmaceutical companies, and network marketing company which supply health supplement products, such as Elken Group, USANA Group, NHF Group, Young Living, Jeunesse Global Holdings LLC, USA, Shaklee Corporation, VASAYO LLC, Amway Corporation, Sami Direct, Kyäni, Inc., Melaleuca, Inc.

 

We believe many of our competitors and potential competitors may have significant competitive advantages, including but not limited to, longer operating histories, ability to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products and services, larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a larger number of suppliers, greater brand recognition, ability to leverage stores which they may operate, and greater financial, research and development, marketing, distribution, and other capabilities and resources than we do. Our competitors and potential competitors may also be able to develop products and services that are equal or more superior to ours, achieve greater market acceptance of their products and services, and increase sales by utilizing different distribution channels than we do. Some of our competitors may aggressively discount their products in order to gain market share, which could result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, lost market share, or a failure to grow market share for us. If we are not able to compete effectively against our current or potential competitors, our prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We are exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on our three largest suppliers for the supply of our products, and any shortage of, or delay in, the supply may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we purchased $116,269, $65,338 and $33,507 from three of our major suppliers, one of them being a related party, which represented approximately 47.2%, 26.5% and 13.6%, respectively, of our total purchases for such period. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we purchased $198,376, $82,434 and $79,365 from three of our major suppliers, one of them being a related party, which represented approximately 53.3%, 22.1% and 21.3%, respectively, of our total purchases for such period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we purchased $28,969 and $27,707 from two of our major suppliers, represented approximately 47.3% and 45.2%, respectively, of our total purchases. Our business, financial condition and operating results depend on the continuous supply of products from our major suppliers and our continuous supplier-customer relationships with them. Our heavy reliance on our major suppliers for the supply of our products will have a significant impact on our business and results of operation in the event of any shortage of, or delay in the supply.

 

We currently do not have long term supply agreements with our three largest suppliers for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and we typically make ad hoc purchases through submission of purchase order forms. There is no assurance that our major suppliers will continue to supply their products in the quantities and timeframes required by us to meet the needs of our customers or comply with their supply agreements with us. Our product supply may also be disrupted by potential labor disputes, strike action, natural disasters or other accidents, epidemic and pandemic affecting the supplier. If our major suppliers do not supply products to us in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, in the event of any delay in delivery of the products to us, our cash flow or working capital may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the corresponding delay in delivery of our products to our customers, and hence the delay in our receipt of payment from our customers.

 

Our major suppliers may change their existing sales or marketing strategy in respect of the products supplied to us by changing their export strategy, reducing its sales or production volume or changing its selling prices. Consequently, there are no assurances that our major suppliers will not appoint other dealers or distributors which may compete with us in the market where we operate. Furthermore, any significant increase in the selling prices of the products which we source from our suppliers will increase our costs and may adversely affect our profit margin if we are not able to pass the increased costs on to our customers.

 

There are no assurances that there will be no deterioration in our relationships with our major suppliers which could affect our ability to secure sufficient supply of products for our business. In the event that our major suppliers change their sales or marketing strategy or otherwise appoint other dealers or distributors who may compete with us, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We could be adversely affected by a change in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits and failure to develop or enrich our product offering or gain market acceptance of our new products could have a negative effect on our business.

 

The market we operate is subject to changes in consumer preference, perception and spending habits. Our performance depends significantly on factors which may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in the market we operate. Such factors include consumer preference, consumer confidence, consumer income and consumer perception of the safety and quality of our products. Media coverage regarding the safety or quality of, or diet or health issues relating to, our products or the raw materials, ingredients or processes involved in their manufacturing, may damage consumer confidence in our products. A general decline in the consumption of our products could occur as a result of change in consumer preference, perception and spending habits at any time.

 

Any failure to adapt our product offering to respond to such changes may result in a decrease in our sales if such changes are related to certain of our products. Any changes in consumer preference could result in lower sales of our products, put pressure on pricing or lead to increased levels of selling and promotional expenses. In any event a decrease in customer demand on our products may also result in lower sales and slow down the consumption of our inventory to a low inventory turnover level. Any of these changes could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

 

The success of our products depends on a number of factors including our ability to accurately anticipate changes in market demand and consumer preferences, our ability to differentiate the quality of our products from those of our competitors, and the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns for our products. We may not be successful in identifying trends in consumer preferences and developing products that respond to such trends in a timely manner. We also may not be able to effectively promote our products by our marketing and advertising campaigns and gain market acceptance. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements, or have quality problems, we may not be able to fully recover our costs and expenses incurred in our operation, and our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

If we fail to maintain quality products and value, our sales are likely to be negatively affected.

 

Our success depends on the safety and quality of products that we obtain from our suppliers for our customers. Our future customers will identify our brand name with a certain level of quality and value. If we cannot meet this perceived value or level of quality, we may be negatively affected and our operating results may suffer. In addition, any failure on the part of our suppliers to maintain the quality of their products, will in turn substantially harm the results of our business operations, potentially forcing us to identify other suppliers or alter our business strategy significantly.

 

If we are unable to create brand influence, we may not be able to maintain current or attract new users and customers for our products.

 

Our operational and financial performance is highly dependent on the strength of our brand. We believe brand familiarity and preference will continue to have a significant role in winning customers as the decision to buy our products and services. In order to further expand our customer base, we may need to substantially increase our marketing expenditures to enhance brand awareness through various online and offline means. Moreover, negative coverage in the media of our company could threaten the perception of our brand, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to defuse negative press coverage about our company to the satisfaction of our investors, customers and suppliers. If we are unable to defuse negative press coverage about our company, our brand may suffer in the marketplace, our operational and financial performance may be negatively impacted and the price of our shares may decline.

 

Currently, we sell our products, with or without customization, under our brand name “ATP”, to domestic customers in Malaysia and to overseas customers. However, if our competitors initiate a lawsuit against us for infringing their trademark, we may be forced to adopt a new brand name for our products. As a result, we may incur additional marketing cost to raise awareness of such new brand name. We may also be ordered to pay a significant amount of damages, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights.

 

We rely on intellectual property laws in Malaysia and other jurisdictions to protect our trademarks. We are the registered owner of two trademarks. We have recently applied to register an additional three trademarks in Malaysia. We cannot assure you that counterfeiting or imitation of our products will not occur in the future or, if it does occur, that we will be able to address the problem in a timely and effective manner. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation of our products or other infringement of our intellectual property rights could negatively affect our brand and our reputation, which in turn adversely affects the results of our operations.

 

Litigation to prosecute infringement of our intellectual property rights could be costly and lengthy and will divert our managerial and financial resources. We will have to bear costs of the intellectual property litigation and may be unable to recover such costs from our opposite parties. Protracted litigation could also result in our customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of or products until such litigation is resolved. The occurrence of any of the foregoing will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims or product recalls or adverse publicity relating to our products.

 

We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims with respect to our products supplied by our supplier. We may face claims or liabilities which may arise if there exist any defects in quality of these products or any of these products are deemed or proven to be unsafe, defective or contaminated. In the event that the use or misuse of any product distributed by us results in personal injury or death, product liability and/or indemnity claims may be brought against us, in addition to our product recalls, and the relevant regulatory authorities in the market we operate may close down some of our related operations and take administrative actions against us. If we experience any business disruption and litigation, we may incur additional costs and have to divert our management’s attention and resources on such matters, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we are unable to successfully develop and timely introduce new products or services or enhance existing products or services, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We must continually source, develop and introduce new products and services as well as improve and enhance our existing products and services to maintain or increase our sales. The success of new or enhanced products or services may depend on a number of factors including, anticipating and effectively addressing user preferences and demand, the success of our sales and marketing efforts, effective forecasting and management of products and services demands, purchase commitments, and the quality of or defects in our products. The risk of not meeting our customers’ preferences and demands through our products and services may result in a shift in market shares, as customers instead choose products and services offered by our competitors. This may result in lower sales revenue, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to manage the growth of our business and our expansion plans and operations or implement our business strategies on schedule or within our budget, or at all.

 

We are continually executing a number of growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans designed to enhance our business. In 2023, we plan to increase our revenue stream from health solution advisory services from our “ATP Zeta Health Program”, “ENERGETIQUE” and “BEAUNIQUE” series to align with our growth strategies. The company expects the initiative to materialize in the second half of 2023, despite competition from other health and wellness brands, and challenge in recruiting due to expanding employment market. Any expansion may increase the complexity of our operations and place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, financial and human resources. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage our growth or to implement all these systems, procedures and control measures successfully. Furthermore, the anticipated benefits from these growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans are based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, we may not be able to successfully complete these growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans and realize all of the benefits that we expect to achieve or it may be more costly to do so than we anticipate. If, for any reason, we are not able to manage our growth effectively, the benefits we realize are less than our estimates or the implementation of these growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans adversely affects our operations or costs more or takes longer to effectuate than we expect, and/or if our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

 

In addition, we may seek and pursue opportunities through joint ventures or strategic partnerships for expansion from time to time, and we may face similar risks and uncertainties as listed above. Failure to properly address these risks and uncertainties may materially and adversely affect our ability to carry out acquisitions and other expansion plans, integrate and consolidate newly acquired or newly formed businesses, and realize all or any of the anticipated benefits of such expansion, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

We have a limited operating history in the Malaysia health and wellness industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

 

We launched our ATP Zeta Super Health Program business in June 2016, the same month in which our Company was incorporated, followed by our ENERGETIQUE” and “BEAUNIQUE” series in July 2018 and March 2019, respectively, and thus, we have a limited operating history. We have limited experience in most aspects of our business operation, such as sourcing products for and offering advisory services on all the three programs. As our business develops and as we respond to competition, we may continue to introduce new product and services offerings and make adjustments to our existing product line and services and to our business operation in general. Any significant change to our business model that does not achieve expected results may have a material and adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. It is therefore difficult to effectively assess our future prospects.

 

The Malaysia health and wellness industry may not develop as expected. Prospective retail and corporate customers may not be familiar with the development of the market and may have difficulties distinguishing our products from those of our competitors. Convincing prospective customers or distributors of the value of our products or services is important to the success of our business. The risk of failing to convince potential customers or distributors to purchase products or services from us may result in the failure of our business plan. Many customers or distributors may not be interested in purchasing products and services we sell because there is no certainty that our business will succeed.

 

You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and challenges we encounter or may encounter given the rapidly evolving market in which we operate and our limited operating history. These risks and challenges include our ability to, among other things:

 

  manage our future growth;
     
  increase the utilization of our products by existing and new customers;
     
  maintain and enhance our relationships with customers and distributors;
     
  improve our operational efficiency;
     
  attract, retain and motivate talented employees;
     
  cope with economic fluctuations;
     
  navigate the evolving regulatory environment; and
     
  defend ourselves against legal and regulatory actions.

 

 

Our historical growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth. If we are unable to manage the growth and increased complexity of our business, fail to control our costs and expenses, or fail to execute our strategies effectively, our business and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our historical growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth, and we may not be able to generate similar growth rates in future periods. Our revenue growth may slow, or our total revenues may decline for a number of possible reasons, including change in consumers’ preferences, changes in regulations and government policies, increasing competition, emergence of alternative business models, and general economic conditions.

 

10
 

 

Our total revenues decreased by approximately 15.0% from approximately 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately 0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our total revenues increased by approximately 82.6% from approximately 1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately 1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our gross profits decreased by approximately 28.0% from approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

If our growth rate declines, investors’ perceptions of our business and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our shares could decline.

 

Our lack of insurance could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

 

The health and wellness industry in Malaysia is a mature market. We currently do not have any product liability or disruption insurance to cover our operations in Malaysia or overseas, which, based on public information available to us relating to Malaysia-based health and wellness companies, is consistent with customary industry practice in Malaysia. We have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. If we suffer any losses, damages or liabilities in the course of our business operations, we may not have adequate insurance coverage to provide sufficient funds to cover any such losses, damages or product claim liabilities. Therefore, there may be instances when we will sustain losses, damages and liabilities because of our lack of insurance coverage, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

A decline in general economic condition could lead to reduced consumer demand and could negatively impact our business operation and financial condition, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our operating and financial performance may be adversely affected by a variety of factors that influence the general economy. Consumer spending habits, including spending for health related products and services we sell, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of unemployment, salaries and wage rates, prevailing interest rates, income tax rates and policies, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. In addition, consumer purchasing patterns may be influenced by consumers’ disposable income. In the event of an economic slowdown, consumer spending habits could be adversely affected and we could experience lower net sales than expected on a quarterly or annual basis which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We operate in a heavily regulated industry.

 

Our business is principally regulated by various laws and regulations in the market we operate, such as in Malaysia the Food Act 1983 (ACT 281) and Regulations, Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984 mandate authorization from the Food Safety and Quality Division and National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency of the Ministry of Health for our Company’s products to be sold in the country. Various registrations, certificates and/or licenses for the conduct of our business are required under the above laws, which also contain provisions for requirements on the storage, labelling, advertising and importation of some of our products.

 

Based on our experience, some of the laws and regulations of the place where we operate our business are subject to amendments, uncertainty in interpretation and administrative actions from time to time. Therefore, we cannot assure you that, for the implementation of our business plans and the introduction of any new product, we will be able to obtain all the necessary registrations, certificates and/or licenses. Any failure to comply with the above laws and regulations may give rise to fines, administrative penalties and/or prosecution against us, which may adversely affect our reputation, financial condition or results of operation.

 

11
 

 

We may be adversely affected by the performance of third-party contractors.

 

We engaged third-party contractors to carry out logistics services. We endeavor to engage third-party companies with a strong reputation and track record, high performance reliability and adequate financial resources. However, any such third-party contractor may still fail to provide satisfactory logistics services at the level of quality or within the timeframe required by us or our customers. While we generally require our logistics contractors to fully reimburse us for any losses arising from delay in delivery or non-delivery, our results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected if any of the losses are not borne by them. If the performance of any third-party contractor is not satisfactory, we may need to replace such contractor or take other remedial actions, which could adversely affect the cost structure and delivery schedule of our products and services and thus have a negative impact on our reputation, financial position and business operations. In addition, as we expand our business into overseas markets, there may be a shortage of third-party contractors that meet our quality standards and other selection criteria in such locations and, as a result, we may not be able to engage a sufficient number of high-quality third-party contractors in a timely manner, which may adversely affect our delivery schedules and delivery costs and hence our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

 

We may need additional capital, and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

There is no guarantee that in the future we will generate enough profits to support our business. Although we believe that our anticipated cash flows from operating activities together with cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months, we cannot assure you this will be the case. We may need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other developments. We may also need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions. If we determine 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 would result in further dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

Adverse developments in our existing areas of operation could adversely impact our results of business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our operations are focused on utilizing our sales efforts which are principally located in Malaysia. As a result, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition depend upon the demand for our products in Malaysia. Due to the lack of broad diversification in industry type and geographic location, adverse developments in our current segment of the industry, or our existing areas of operation, could have a significantly greater impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition than if our operations were more diversified.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

12
 

 

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and the review of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, we identified three “material weaknesses”, and other control deficiencies including significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified related to the Company were: (i) insufficient full-time personnel with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience to monitor the daily recording of transactions, address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures under U.S. GAAP; (ii) lack of a functional internal audit department or personnel that monitors the consistencies of the preventive internal control procedures and lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures have been carried out as planned; (iii) lack of proper IT policies and procedures developed for system change management, user access management, backup management and service organization management.

 

The plans for the Company’s implementation of remediation of the material weaknesses are as follows:

 

  (a) With respect to Material Weakness i, the Company has employed a full-time Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Mr. Lee Kam Fan, with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications since January 12, 2021.
     
  (b) With respect to Material Weakness ii, we intend to form an internal audit function and have plans to hire internal auditors to strengthen our overall governance. All internal auditors will be independent of our operations and will report directly to the audit committee. We intended to form the internal audit function within the next 12 months.
     
  (c) With respect to Material Weakness iii, we intend to hire several dedicated personnel for different roles such as AP, OS and DB. This procedure would improve the segregation of duties in AP, OS and DB. Any changes to the system will require approval by a higher level of IT management. We expect to adopt the above measures within the next 12 months.

 

As a public company, we will become subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or SOX 404, will require that we include a report from management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q if we are qualified as an accelerated filer. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

 

During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of SOX 404, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with SOX 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from prior periods.

 

13
 

 

Legal disputes or proceedings could expose us to liability, divert our management’s attention and negatively impact our reputation.

 

We may at times be involved in potential legal disputes or proceedings during the ordinary course of business operations relating to product or other types of liability, employees’ claims, labor disputes or contract disputes that could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, operation and financial condition. If we become involved in material or protracted legal proceedings or other legal disputes in the future, the outcome of such proceedings could be uncertain and could result in settlements or outcomes which materially and adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, any litigation or legal proceedings could incur substantial legal expenses as well as significant time and attention of our management, diverting their attention from our business and operations.

 

Our failure to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations, or effectively manage our employees, customers and business partners, could severely damage our reputation, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

We are subject to risks in relation to actions taken by us, our employees, third-party customers or third-party suppliers that constitute violations of the anti-corruption laws and regulations. While we adopt strict internal procedures and work closely with relevant government agencies to ensure compliance of our business operations with relevant laws and regulations, our efforts may not be sufficient to ensure that we comply with relevant laws and regulations at all times. If we, our employees, third-party customers or third-party suppliers violate these laws, rules or regulations, we could be subject to fines and/or other penalties. Actions by Malaysia regulatory authorities or the courts to provide an alternative interpretation of the laws and regulations or to adopt additional anti-bribery or anti-corruption related regulations could also require us to make changes to our operations. Our reputation, corporate image, and business operations may be materially and adversely affected if we fail to comply with these measures or become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions taken by us, our employees, third-party customers or third-party suppliers.

 

An overall decline in the health of the economy and other factors impacting consumer spending, such as natural disasters, outbreak of viruses, illnesses, infectious diseases, contagions and the occurrence of unforeseen epidemics may affect consumer purchases, reduce demand for our products and materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our business depends on consumer demand for our products and, consequently, is sensitive to a number of factors that influence consumer confidence and spending, including but not limited to, general current and future economic and political conditions, consumer disposable income, recession and fears of recession, unemployment, minimum wages, availability of consumer credit, consumer debt levels, interest rates, tax rates and policies, inflation, war and fears of war, inclement weather, natural disasters, terrorism, active shooter situations, outbreak of viruses, illnesses, infectious diseases, contagions and the occurrence of unforeseen epidemics (including the outbreak of the coronavirus and its potential impact on our financial results) and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. For example, in recent years, there have been outbreaks of epidemics in various countries, including Malaysia. Recently, there was an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), which has spread rapidly to many parts of the world, including Malaysia. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. The epidemic has resulted in intermittent quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are concentrated in Malaysia. Consequently, our results of operations were adversely affected as a result of the implementation of Movement Control Order (MCO) by the Malaysian government. The impact on the company as a result of the MCO includes:

 

  temporary closure of offices and travel restrictions prevented the company and our distributors from organizing offline events, which in turn stalled our marketing effort;
     
  temporary suspension of product supplies to our distributors and members due supply chain disruption as our suppliers and logistics providers faced disruption and delay in their operation; and

 

14
 

 

  the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a decline in overall economic environment, which in turn lower the spending power of the consumer and consequently, the revenue of the company.

 

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the coronavirus cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at the similar level year over year in the fiscal year 2023. We may have to record downward adjustments or impairment in the fair value of investments in the fiscal year 2023, if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines.

 

In general, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics, pandemic or, including, but not limited to, the COVID-19, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the influenza A virus, Ebola virus, severe weather conditions such as flood or hazardous air pollution, or other outbreaks. In response to an epidemic, severe weather conditions, or other outbreaks, government and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lead to severe disruption to our daily operations, including temporary closure of our offices and other facilities. These severe conditions may cause us and/or our partners to make internal adjustments, including but not limited to, temporarily closing down business, limiting business hours, and setting restrictions on travel and/or visits with clients and partners for a prolonged period of time. Various impact arising from a severe condition may cause business disruption, resulting in material, adverse impact to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We face risks related to health epidemics, severe weather conditions and other outbreaks.

 

In recent years, there have been outbreaks of epidemics in various countries, including Malaysia. Recently, there was an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), which has spread rapidly to many parts of the world, including Malaysia. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. The epidemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia for prolong periods.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are concentrated in Malaysia. Consequently, our results of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Malaysia and global economy in general. Any potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  temporary closure of offices, travel restrictions, financial impact of our customers or suspension supplies may negatively affect, and could continue to negatively affect, the demand for our products;
     
  our customer may require additional time to pay us or fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts. We may have to provide significant sales incentives to our sole customer during the outbreak, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results;
     
  any disruption of our supply chain, logistics providers or customers could adversely impact our business and results of operations, including causing us or our suppliers to cease manufacturing for a period of time or materially delay delivery to our customers, which may also lead to loss of our customers; and
     
  the global stock markets have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant decline from the COVID-19 outbreak and the marketable securities that we have invested in could be materially adversely affected, which may lead to significant impairment in the fair values of our investments and in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

 

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

We earn revenues, pay expenses, own assets and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including Australian Dollars, Malaysian Ringgit and Hong Kong Dollars. Since our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affect our net operating revenues, operating income and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. We cannot assure you that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would not materially affect our financial results.

 

Our business depends on the continued contributions made by Dr. How Kok Choong, as our founder, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chairman of the board of Directors, Director and secretary, the loss of who may result in a severe impediment to our business.,

 

Our success is dependent upon the continued contributions made by our CEO and President, Dr. How Kok Choong. We rely on his expertise in business operations when we are developing our business. We have no “Key Man” insurance to cover the resulting losses in the event that any of our officer or directors should die or resign.

If Dr. How Kok Choong cannot serve the Company or is no longer willing to do so, the Company may not be able to find alternatives in a timely manner or at all. This would likely result in a severe damage to our business operations and would have an adverse material impact on our financial position and operating results. To continue as a viable operation, the Company may have to recruit and train replacement personnel at a higher cost. Additionally, if Dr. How Kok Choong joins our competitors or develops similar businesses that are in competition with our Company, our business may also be negatively impacted.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified long-term staff to fill management, technology, sales, marketing, and customer services positions. We have a great need for qualified talent, but we may not be successful in attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining the talent required for our success.

 

15
 

 

If we are not able to achieve our overall long-term growth objectives, the value of an investment in our Company could be negatively affected.

 

We have established and publicly announced certain long-term growth objectives. These objectives were based on, among other things, our evaluation of our growth prospects, which are generally driven by the sales potential of many product types, some of which are more profitable than others, and on an assessment of the potential price and product mix. There can be no assurance that we will realize the sales potential and the price and product mix necessary to achieve our long-term growth objectives.

 

We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims or product recalls or adverse publicity relating to our products.

 

We may incur losses resulting from product liability claims with respect to our products supplied by our suppliers. We may face claims or liabilities which may arise if there exist any defects in quality of these products or any of these products are deemed or proven to be unsafe, defective or contaminated. In the event that the use or misuse of any product distributed by us results in personal injury or death, product liability and/or indemnity claims may be brought against us, in addition to our product recalls, and the relevant regulatory authorities in the market we operate may close down some of our related operations and take administrative actions against us. If we experience any business disruption and litigation, we may incur additional costs and have to divert our management’s attention and resources on such matters, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We had previously relied on the variable interest entity, Agape S.E.A. Sdn Bhd, in Malaysia for our business operations, which may not be as effective in providing operational control or enabling us to derive economic benefits as through ownership of controlling equity interests. While we no longer rely on Agape S.E.A. Sdn Bhd for our operations, we may do so in the future.

 

Agape S.E.A. Sdn Bhd’s equity at risk was insufficient to finance its business activities and it provided all of the Company’s purchases during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Agape S.E.A. Sdn Bhd did not provide any purchase to the Company. As a result, it is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company is the primary beneficiary since it has both of the following characteristics, (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. However, the Company no longer relied on the VIE after the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Agape S.E.A. Sdn Bhd did not provide any purchase to the Company. In addition, Agape S.E.A.’s impact to our consolidated financial statements constitutes less than 1% of our total consolidated assets. While the Company have not made any purchases from the VIE for the six month ended June 30, 2023, we may expect to continue to rely on ASL’s beneficiary ownership structure with Agape S.E.A. to operate our business. If we fail to continue our beneficiary ownership structure with Agape S.E.A. in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Malaysia

 

Developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Malaysia may have a material adverse impact on us.

 

Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by social, political, regulatory and economic developments in Malaysia. Such political and economic uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks of war, terrorism, nationalism, nullification of contract, changes in interest rates, imposition of capital controls and methods of taxation.

 

Negative developments in Malaysia’s socio-political environment may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Malaysian economy registered modest growth of approximately 8.7% and 3.1% in 2022 and 2021 respectively, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia. Although the overall Malaysian economic environment (in which we predominantly operate) appears to be positive, there can be no assurance that this will continue to prevail in the future. Economic growth is determined by countless factors, and it is extremely difficult to predict with any level of absolute certainty.

 

Furthermore, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization or WHO declared the corona virus or COVID-19 a pandemic. To help counter the transmission of COVID-19, from March 18, 2020 to April 26, 2022, the government of Malaysia initiated (i) Movement control orders (“MCO”). The MCO had resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia. (ii) Conditional Movement Control Order (“CMCO”) where most business sectors were allowed to operate under strict rules and Standard Operating Procedures mandated by the government of Malaysia. (iii) Recovery Movement Control Order (“RMCO”). At the height of the pandemic, on January 12, 2021, the Malaysian government even declared a state of emergency nationwide to combat COVID-19. On April 27, 2022, the Malaysian government announced the country had entered into the endemic phase with further easing of restrictions. We are witnessing the adverse impact on the purchasing power of consumers in Malaysia, where our products are mainly sold as a direct result of the prolonged pandemic. As such, the extent to which the coronavirus may continue to adversely impact the Malaysian economy is uncertain. In the event that the Malaysia economy suffers, demand for our products may diminish, which would in turn result in our profitability. This could in turn result in a substantial need for restructuring of our business objectives and could result in a partial or entire loss of an investment in our Company.

 

We are subject to foreign exchange control policies in Malaysia.

 

The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us may be restricted by the foreign exchange control policies in the countries where we operate. For example, there are foreign exchange policies in Malaysia which support the monitoring of capital flows into and out of the country in order to preserve its financial and economic stability. The foreign exchange policies are administered by the Foreign Exchange Administration, an arm of Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”), the central bank of Malaysia. The foreign exchange policies monitor and regulate both residents and non-residents. Under the current Foreign Exchange Administration rules issued by BNM, non-residents are free to repatriate any amount of funds from Malaysia in foreign currency other than the currency of Israel at any time (subject to limited exceptions), including capital, divestment proceeds, profits, dividends, rental, fees and interest arising from investment in Malaysia, subject to any withholding tax. In the event BNM or any other country where we operate introduces any restrictions in the future, we may be affected in our ability to repatriate dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries in Malaysia or in such other countries. Since we are a holding company and rely principally on dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries for our cash requirements, any restrictions on such dividends or other payments could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Economic, market and political developments in the countries where we operate could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

 

As with all organizations that seek to reduce business risks via geographical expansion, the economic, market and political conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market conditions in Southeast Asia, could have an influence on our business. Any widespread global financial instability or a significant loss of investor confidence in emerging market economies may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or reputation.

 

Examples of such external factors or conditions that are outside our control include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  general economic, political and social conditions in Southeast Asian markets;

 

17
 

  

  consumer spending patterns in our key markets;
     
  currency and interest rate fluctuations;
     
  international events and circumstances such as wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and political instability; and
     
  changes in legal regimes and governmental regulations, such as licensing and approvals, taxation, duties and tariffs, in key markets and abroad.

 

For example, the global financial markets experienced significant disruptions in 2008 and the United States, Europe and other economies went into recession. The recovery from the lows of 2008 and 2009 was uneven and the global economy has continued to face new challenges. There is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies that have been adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States. For example, in 2013, the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States announced the tapering of its bond-buying program which led to a high degree of volatility in equity markets and substantial devaluations in the currencies of many emerging economies, including markets where we operate. Economic conditions in the countries where we operate might be sensitive to global economic conditions, as well as changes in domestic economic and political policies and the expected or perceived overall economic growth rate in emerging markets. We are witnessing the adverse impact on the purchasing power of consumers in Malaysia, where our products are mainly sold, as a direct result of these worldwide developments.

 

Management and Governance Risks

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering

 

Volatility in our shares price may subject us to securities litigation.

 

The market for our shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

 

We may never be able to pay dividends and are unlikely to do so.

 

To date, we have not paid, nor do we intend to pay in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, even if we become profitable. Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to advance our activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes, rather than to make distributions to stockholders. Since we are not in a financial position to pay dividends on our common stock and future dividends are not presently being contemplated, investors are advised that return on investment in our common stock is restricted to an appreciation in the share price. The potential or likelihood of an increase in share price is uncertain.

 

18
 

 

In addition, under Nevada law, we may only pay dividends subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that our assets will exceed our liabilities after the dividend. Our ability to pay dividends will therefore depend on our ability to generate sufficient profits. Furthermore, because of the various rules applicable to our operations in Malaysia and the regulations on foreign investments as well as the applicable tax law, we may be subject to further limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends to our stockholders.

 

Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of securities.

 

Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or other securities. In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our stockholders. We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We expect we will need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price you paid for your stock.

 

We are a “smaller reporting company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset- backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and annual revenues of less than $50.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company,” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” we will be required to provide additional disclosure in our SEC filings. However, similar to an “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

The offering price of our shares of common stock offered in the Resale Prospectus Resale is fixed.

 

The selling stockholders of the Resale Prospectus will offer and sell their shares of common stock being offered under the Resale Prospectus at $6.50 per share for the duration of the offering or until the shares are listed on a national securities exchange at which time the shares offered under the Resale Prospectus may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market. We have applied to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ATPC.” No assurance can be given that our application will be approved. The closing of this offering is contingent upon the successful listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

We plan to list our common stock on NASDAQ. We may not be able to maintain our listing on NASDAQ which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

We have applied to list our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ATPC”. Even if our common stock is approved to be listed on NASDAQ, we cannot assure you that our common stock will continue to be listed on NASDAQ in the future. In order to continue listing our securities on NASDAQ, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and share price levels. Moreover, we must comply with certain listing standards regarding the independence of our board of directors and members of our audit committee. We intend to fully comply with these requirements, but we may not continue to be able to meet these requirements in the future.

 

If NASDAQ delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
     
  reduced liquidity for our securities;
     
  a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because we expect that our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ, such securities will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Furthermore, if we were no longer listed on NASDAQ, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

The price of our common stock may rapidly fluctuate or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for investors.

 

The trading price of our common stock following this offering may be subject to instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and stock price volatility unrelated to both our actual and expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our stock. Further, the trading price of our common stock following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume, actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations; the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections; failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our Company, changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our Company or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors; announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, operating results or capital commitments; changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other companies in our industry; price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole; changes in our Board or management; sales of large blocks of our common stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; lawsuits threatened or filed against us; changes in laws or regulations applicable to our business; the expiration of lock-up agreements; changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of debt or equity securities; short sales, hedging and other derivative transactions involving our capital stock; general economic and geopolitical conditions, including the current or anticipated impact of military conflict and related sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries due to Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine; and the other factors described in this section of the prospectus captioned “Risk Factors.”

 

Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. Our common stock may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our common stock.

 

In addition to the risks addressed above under “the price of our common stock may rapidly fluctuate or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for investors,” our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock. Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.

 

In addition, if the trading volumes of our common stock are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock. A decline in the market price of our common stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional common stock or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $6.26 million, or approximately $7.24 million if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, after deducting underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

The primary purposes of this offering are to create a public market of our shares for the benefit of all stockholders, retain talented employees, and obtain additional capital. We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

 

  approximately 15% for strengthening sales and marketing of our products, services and branding, including further development and promotion of our e-trading platform;
     
  approximately 40% for research and development (“R&D”) and technological development, including further research on enhancements of components in our current product and service offerings and the construction of a e-trading platform;
     
  approximately 20% for expanding operations into ASEAN and US markets, including expansion of our market share in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, collaborations with US companies in terms of product R&D and expansion of e-commerce operations to target US consumers;
     
 

approximately 20% for future vertical and horizontal integrations, including strategic collaborations, mergers & acquisitions of insurance and health care service providers. We will further invest into production resources allowing us to produce our own products, ensuring supply and quality while reducing costs. In relation to the mergers and acquisitions, it will be mainly for our development as a comprehensive wellness ecosystem company. We have identified targets companies matching the following criteria: (i) with profitability and customer base comprising customers from the health care industry; and (ii) with established knowledge base of empirical/holistic skills, knowledge and technologies which are applicable to transform our company into a wellness ecosystem company such as skin care, cosmetic bio lab production, wellness center or complementary medical therapies for chronic health problems, manufacturers of water filtration system, etc.; and

     
  the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes, including legal, accounting and other professional fees associated with becoming a public company, general and administrative expenses associated with increased operations, and recruitment of talent associated with increase operations.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors.” The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus.

 

22
 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

Dilution results from the fact that the per share offering price is substantially in excess of the book value per share of common stock attributable to the existing stockholders for our presently outstanding shares of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023, was $(82,699) or $(0.00) per share.

 

Our post offering as adjusted net tangible book value, which gives effect to receipt of the net proceeds from the offering and issuance of additional shares in the offering but does not take into consideration any other changes in our net tangible book value after June 30, 2023, will be approximately $7,153,004 or approximately $0.09 per share. This would result in dilution to investors in this offering of approximately $6.41 per share or approximately 98.57% from the assumed offering price of $6.50 per share. Net tangible book value per share would increase to the benefit of present stockholders by $0.09 per share attributable to the purchase of the shares by investors in this offering.

 

The following table sets forth the estimated net tangible book value per share after the offering and the dilution to persons purchasing shares.

(2) Assumes gross proceeds from offering of 1,265,000 shares of common stock, if over-allotment option is exercised in full.

 

The following chart illustrates our pro forma proportionate ownership, upon completion of the offering, by present stockholders and investors in this offering, compared to the relative amounts paid by each. The charts reflect payment by present stockholders as of the date the consideration was received and by investors in this offering at the offering price without deduction of the estimated underwriting discount, non-accountable expense allowance and our estimated offering expenses. The charts further assume no changes in net tangible book value other than those resulting from the offering.

AGAPE ATP CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section headed “Selected Consolidated Financial and Operating Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the health and wellness industry. The principal activity of the Company is to supply high-quality health and wellness products, including supplements to assist in cell metabolism, detoxification, blood circulation, anti-aging and products designed to improve the overall health system of the human body and various wellness programs.

 

Agape ATP Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2016.

 

Agape ATP Corporation operates through its subsidiaries, namely, Agape ATP Corporation, a company incorporated in Labuan, Malaysia, and Agape Superior Living Sdn. Bhd. (“ASL”), a company incorporated in Malaysia.

 

Agape ATP Corporation is an investment holding company that holds 100% of the equity interest in Agape ATP International Holding Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong.

 

On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Dr. How Kok Choong, CEO and director of the Company to acquire 9,590,596 ordinary shares, no par value, equivalent to approximately 99.99% of the equity interest in ASL.

 

On September 11, 2020, the Company incorporated WATP, a wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of Malaysia, to pursue the business of promoting wellness and wellbeing lifestyle of the community by providing services that includes online editorials, programs, events and campaigns on how to achieve positive wellness and lifestyle. On September 15, 2020, WATP entered into a business collaboration agreement with ASL to carry out certain wellness programs.

 

On November 11, 2021, Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) formed a joint-venture entity, DSY Wellness International Sdn. Bhd. (“DSY Wellness”) with Mr. Steve Yap. to pursue the business of providing complementary health therapies. Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) owns 60% of the equity interests in DSY Wellness.

 

Agape ATP Corporation is a company that provides health and wellness products and health solution advisory services to our clients. The Company primarily focuses its efforts on attracting customers in Malaysia. Its advisory services center on the “ATP Zeta Health Program”, which is a health program designed to prevent diseases caused by polluted environments, unhealthy dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyles, and the promotion of health. The program aims to promote improved health and longevity through a combination of modern medicine, proper nutrition and advice from skilled nutritionists and/or dieticians.

 

27
 

 

In order to strengthen the Company’s supply chain, on May 8, 2020, the Company successfully acquired approximately 99.99% of ASL, with the goal of securing an established network marketing sales channel that has been established in Malaysia for the past 18 years. ASL has been offering the Company’s ATP Zeta Health Program as part of its product lineup. As such, the acquisition creates synergy in the Company’s operation by boosting the Company’s retail and marketing capabilities. The acquired subsidiary allows the Company to fulfill its mission of “helping people to create health and wealth” by providing a financially rewarding business opportunity to distributors and quality products to distributors and customers who seek a healthy lifestyle.

 

Via ASL, the Company offers three series of programs which consist of different services and products: ATP Zeta Health Program, ÉNERGÉTIQUE and BEAUNIQUE.

 

The ATP Zeta Health Program is a health program designed to promote health and general wellbeing designed to prevent health diseases caused by polluted environments, unhealthy dietary intake and unhealthy lifestyles. The program aims to promote improved health and longevity through a combination of modern health supplements, proper nutrition and advice from skilled dieticians as well as trained members and distributors.

 

The ÉNERGÉTIQUE series aims to provide a total dermal solution for a healthy skin beginning from the cellular level. The series is comprised of the Energy Mask series, Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Mousse Facial Cleanser.

 

The BEAUNIQUE product series focuses on the research of our diet’s impact on modifying gene expressions in order to address genetic variations and deliver a nutrigenomic solution for every individual. 

 

The Company deems creating public awareness on wellness and wellbeing lifestyle as essential to enhance the provision of its health solution advisory services; and therefore incorporated WATP in September 2020. Upon its establishment, WATP started collaborating with ASL to carry out various wellness programs.

 

To further its reach in the Health and Wellness Industry, on November 11, 2021, Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) formed a joint-venture entity, DSY Wellness International Sdn. Bhd. (“DSY Wellness”) with Mr. Steve Yap to pursue the business of providing complementary health therapies. Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) owns 60% of the equity interests in DSY Wellness.

The shortfall in revenue of the Company’s network marketing business was significantly compensated by the significant increase in revenue in the Company’s operations in the provision of complementary health therapies. This new division which commenced in February 2022 is witnessing modest growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Malaysia, where the operations of the Company predominantly reside, officially transitioned to the endemic phase of COVID-19 effective April 1, 2022.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are concentrated in Malaysia. Consequently, our results of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Malaysia and global economy in general. Any potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  temporary closure of offices, travel restrictions, disruption or suspension of supplies, our customers may be negatively impacted financially resulting in which the demand for our products may be adversely affected;
  we may have to provide significant sales incentives to our customers during the outbreak, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results; and
  any disruption of our supply chain, logistics providers or customers could adversely impact our business and results of operations, including causing us or our suppliers to cease manufacturing for a period of time or materially delay delivery to our customers, which may also lead to loss of our customers.

 

31
 

 

There could still be supply chain disruptions. From our experiences operating under the much-restricted COVID-19 environment, we have modified our methods of operations, to build in sufficient buffer in the management of inventories. We may experience slight delay in products delivery lead time but barring unforeseen circumstances, the setback should be temporary.

 

We are currently operating primarily in Malaysia and anticipate expanding into the Asian markets in the future, with a particular focus, at least initially, on expanding into Thailand, Indonesia and Taiwan. We will explore expansion via e-commerce. Now that most nations are living alongside COVID-19, we will re-assess our plans to set up offices in the countries in which we operate to better service our customers.

 

There is no guarantee that the Company’s total revenues will grow or remain at similar levels year over year in 2023 and beyond.

 

As of June 30, 2023, we had working capital deficit of $26,893, consisting of cash and cash in bank of $332,431 and time deposits of $321,323 as compared to working capital of $799,239 consisting of cash and cash in bank of $523,619 and time deposits of $914,811 as of December 31, 2022. The Company had a net loss of $813,524 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and accumulated deficits of $5,746,112 as of June 30, 2023 as compared to net loss of $1,666,079 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and accumulated deficits of $4,945,586 as of December 31, 2022.

 

In assessing our liquidity and going concern, management is projecting that the company’s revenue will revert to pre-pandemic level by Q2 2024, generating sufficient cash therefrom to cover our operating expenses. The timeline is subject to the availability of talents for sales and marketing and product development personnel as the recruitment market has become increasingly competitive post COVID-19 as many companies are ramping up to increase their workforce.

 

If our Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period to pay for its future payment obligations, we may have to consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources, however, there is no assurance that management will be successful in its plans:

 

  Equity financing from the Company’s second listing on NASDAQ to support its working capital and future growth;
     
  Other available sources of financing (including debt) from banks and other financial institutions; and
     
  Financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s related parties.

 

Based on the above measures, management is of the opinion that the Company will probably not have sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due one year from the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements..

 

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include allowance for inventories obsolescence, impairment of long-lived assets and allowance for deferred tax assets. Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates.

 

Estimated allowance for inventories obsolescence

 

Management reviews inventory on hand for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on the review, the Company records inventory write-downs, when necessary, when costs exceed expected net realizable value. The Company did not recognize any inventory write-downs nor inventory write-off for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Operating right-of-use assets and property and equipment are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgment and make estimation, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable that is its carrying amount exceeds the amount of expected undiscounted future cash flows result from the use of the asset. Once it is established that impairment has occurred, the amount of impairment expense is determined as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach.

 

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of operating right-of-use assets and property and equipment amounted to $284,670 and $105,674 (December 31, 2022: $81,133 and $142,149), respectively. No impairment losses on operating right-of-use assets and property and equipment were recognized as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

33
 

 

Allowance for deferred tax assets

 

The Company conducts much of its business activities in Malaysia and Hong Kong and is subject to tax in each of these jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized as management considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred taxation assets and taxation in the periods in which such estimate is changed.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize – revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of health and wellness products.

 

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of substantially collection.

 

Sales of Health and Wellness products

 

- Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time

 

The Company derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized when control of the health and wellness products are transferred to its customer at the Company’s office or shipment of the goods. The revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts and return allowances. Products are given 60 days for returns or exchanges from the date of purchase. Historically, there were insignificant sales returns.

 

Under the Company’s network marketing business, the Company issues product coupons to members and distributors when these customers made purchases above certain thresholds set by the Company. Depending on the type of product coupons issued, the coupons carry varying values and can be used by the customers for reduction in the transaction price of product purchases within the coupon validity period. The value of the product coupons issued is recorded as a reduction of the Company’s revenue account upon issuance; the corresponding amount credited to the customer deposits account. Amounts in customer deposits will be reversed when the coupons are used. The Company’s coupons have a validity period of between six and twelve months. If the Company’s customers did not utilize the coupons after the validity period, the Company would recognize the forfeiture of the originated sales value of the coupons as net revenues.

 

Provision of Health and Wellness services

 

- Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time

 

The Company carries out its Wellness program, where the Company’s products are bundled with health screening test and a health camp program. The health screening test and the health camp programs are considered as separate performance obligations. The promises to deliver the health screening test report and the attendance at the health camp are separately identifiable, which are evidenced by the fact that the Company provides separate services of delivering the health screening test report and allowing admission of the customers to attend the health camp. The Company derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized when the test reports are completed and delivered to its customers during the consultation section in person. The Company also separately derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized when the health camp program was completed in the final day of the health camp.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

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 standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance 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, 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.

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology.

 

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell.

 

As ASU 2016-13 has been adopted from January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2019-05, Financial instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief at the same time.

 

The AUS 2019-05 provides entities that have certain instruments with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities.

 

The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended and as at June 30, 2023.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

 

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842) Common Control Arrangements”. This ASU provides guidance in ASC Topic 842 that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases should be (i) amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and (ii) accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if and when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The ASU 2023-01 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. When adopted in an interim period, it must be adopted from the beginning of the year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no other new recent issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

Revenue

 

We generated revenue of $1,856,564, which comprised revenue from the Company’s network marketing business of $1,141,307 (approximately 61.5%); and revenue from the Company’s operations in the provision of complementary health therapies of $715,257 (approximately 38.5%) for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $1,016,962, which amount was solely attributable to revenue from the Company’s network marketing business for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue from the Company’s network marketing business increased marginally by $124,345 or approximately 12.2%. Total revenue increased by a $839,602 or approximately 82.6%. The increase was predominately due to: (i) the recovery from COVID-19 in Malaysia after April 2022. The Company made progress in revenue generating as Malaysia, where the Company’s operations predominantly reside, has moved to a COVID-19 endemic phase with minimal restrictions on businesses and people movements in the country; and (ii) the Company’s operations in the provision of complementary health therapies since February 2022.

The decrease in gross margin was predominantly due to a lower gross margin associated with the provision of complementary health therapies as compared to the Company’s network marketing business; and promotional activities undertaken by the Company to increase revenue from its network marketing business.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses consist of selling expenses, commission expenses, general and administrative expenses and provision for doubtful accounts.

Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $361,414 as compared to $394,682 for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $33,268 or approximately 8.4%. The Company’s selling expenses typically comprise salaries and benefits expenses, credit card processing fees and promotional expenses.

Other (Expenses) Income

 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an amount of $136,868 as other expenses, net as compared to $529,045 other expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing a significant decrease of $392,177, or approximately 74.1%, in other expenses, net.

We had benefits of income taxes of $4,055 and provision for income taxes of $137,067 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our operations in Malaysia recorded benefits of income taxes due to overprovision of taxes in prior years.

Net Loss

 

We generated a net loss of $1,666,079 for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $2,524,680 for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $858,601 or approximately 34.0%, predominately due to reasons as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Malaysia, where the operations of the Company predominantly reside, officially transitioned to the endemic phase of COVID-19 effective April 1, 2022. Restrictions on businesses and people are minimal.

 

Meanwhile, the government continues to encourage inoculation for those between the ages of 5 to 11 years and its adolescent group which comprised those between the ages 12 and 17. Adults who have been fully vaccinated, i.e. received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to take booster shots.

 

Substantially all of our revenues are concentrated in Malaysia. Consequently, our results of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Malaysia and global economy in general. Any potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  temporary closure of offices, travel restrictions, disruption or suspension of supplies, our customers may be negatively impacted financially resulting in which the demand for our products may be adversely affected ;
  we may have to provide significant sales incentives to our customers during the outbreak, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results ; and
  any disruption of our supply chain, logistics providers or customers could adversely impact our business and results of operations, including causing us or our suppliers to cease manufacturing for a period of time or materially delay delivery to our customers, which may also lead to loss of our customers.

 

From our experiences operating under the much-restricted COVID-19 environment, we have modified our methods of operations, to build in sufficient buffer in the management of inventories. We may experience slight delay in products delivery lead time but barring unforeseen circumstances, the setback should be temporary.

 

We are currently operating primarily in Malaysia and anticipate expanding into the Asian markets in the future, with a particular focus, at least initially, on expanding into Thailand, Indonesia and Taiwan. We will explore expansion via e-commerce. Now that most nations are living alongside COVID-19, we will re-assess our plans to set up offices in the countries in which we operate to better service our customers.

 

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There is no guarantee that the Company’s total revenues will grow or remain at similar levels year over year in 2023 and beyond.

 

As of December 31, 2022, we had working capital of $799,239 consisting of cash and cash in bank of $523,619 and time deposits of $914,811 as compared to working capital of $2,599,281 consisting of cash and cash in bank of $622,501 and time deposits of $1,975,347 as of December 31, 2021. The Company had a net loss of $1,666,079 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and accumulated deficits of $4,945,586 as of December 31, 2022 as compared to net loss of $2,524,680 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and accumulated deficits of $3,258,687 as of December 31, 2021.

 

In assessing our liquidity and going concern, management is projecting that the company’s revenue will revert to pre-pandemic level, generating sufficient cash therefrom to cover our operating expenses.

 

37
 

 

If our Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-month period to pay for its future payment obligations, we may have to consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

  other available sources of financing from Malaysia banks and other financial institutions; and
     
  financial support from our related parties and shareholders.

 

Based on the above initiatives, management is of the opinion that the Company shall have sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due in the foreseeable future twelve months from the date of issuance of this Annual Report. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in its plans.

 

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for inventories obsolescence, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for deferred tax assets. Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates.

 

Estimated allowance for inventories obsolescence

 

Management reviews inventory on hand for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on the review, the Company records inventory write-downs, when necessary, when costs exceed expected net realizable value. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognize an inventory write-downs of $5,307 and $36,241 respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Operating right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment are stated at costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgment and make estimation, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, in the case of value in use, the present value of future cash flows which are estimating the recoverable amounts including cash flow projections and an appropriate discount rate. Changing the assumptions and estimates, including the discount rates or the growth rate in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amounts of operating right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment amounted to $81,133 and $142,149 (December 31, 2021: $237,718 and $215,799), respectively. No impairment losses on operating right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment were recognized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Allowance for deferred tax asset

 

The Company conducts much of its business activities in Malaysia and Hong Kong and is subject to tax in each of these jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized as management considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred taxation assets and taxation in the periods in which such estimate is changed.

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. 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 January 1, 2023 as the Company is qualified as a smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASUs 2016-13 and 2019-05 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

Industry and Market Opportunities 

 

Increasing demand in Dietary Supplement products in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) region.

 

ASEAN markets have seen increasing demand for dietary supplement products since 2016 and we believe will continue to do for the foreseeable future. We believe that the ASEAN market for health supplements hold great potential for growth. According to a report published by Zion Market Research entitled “Dietary Supplements Market by Ingredients (Botanicals, Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Enzymes) for Additional Supplements, Medicinal Supplements, and Sports Nutrition Applications – Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2020 – 2028” issued in March 2023, it is estimated that while the global dietary supplements market stood at US$191.1 billion in 2020, it is set to reach US$307.8 billion by 2028, representing a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% between 2021-2028.

According to an article published by Janio, a cross-border platform providing integrated logistics solutions to e-commerce brands, logistics service providers and marketplaces in Southeast Asia, in December 2019, the nutritional and dietary supplements in the ASEAN region are being prioritized by individuals in order to maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle. (Source: https://www.janio.asia/resources/articles/health-supplement-trends-in-southeast-asia-and-how-cross-border-ecommerce-plays-a-role) Consumers believe that they can make up for certain vitamin deficiencies or dietary deficiencies by consuming nutritional and dietary supplements. Many consumers also use nutritional and dietary supplements for cosmetics purposes, namely, skincare, hair strengthening, and fat burning, particularly in countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam.

 

For example, in Indonesia, the nutritional and dietary supplements market has recorded strong growth due to changes in consumers’ lifestyle habits and increasing awareness of preventive health measures. This is prevalent among the middle-class that has grown from approximately 37.7% of the population in 2003 to approximately 50% the population in 2020. Similarly, according to Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) Economic Intelligence Center, the prospects for the dietary supplements market in Thailand has been growing since 2015 and is predicted to grow at an average of approximately 7% per year until 2030. (source: https://www.scbeic.com/en/detail/file/product/3218/emyjfdtqlc/Note_EN_Supplement_20170209.pdf) In the Philippines, a stable economy has also been contributing to increased financial capability and the desire of Filipino consumers to improve both their mental and physical health through supplements. Conversely, Malaysia is ranked as the top country within ASEAN for both obesity and diabetes. Obesity and diabetes have been connected to heart disease and hypertension. As a result, consumers in Malaysia are increasingly aware of such potential health issues associated with eating habits and have become more proactive in searching for consumer health products to prevent such chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

Continued Growth in the Skincare products in regions such as Asia-Pacific.

 

We believe that skincare products will remain highly lucrative with further potential for growth. According to Euromonitor, a global strategic market research company based in London, Asia generates approximately 51% of the world’s skin care sales, surpassing Western Europe and North America. In June 2023, Fortune Business Insights, a global market study and consulting services provider, puts the Asia-Pacific skincare sector as the largest market in the world. (source: https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/skin-care-market-102544) According to them, the global skincare market was valued at approximately US$104.24. billion in 2022, with the Asia-Pacific region accounted for US$54 billion, or 51.8%.The global skincare market is expected to grow from approximately US$109.71 billion to US$167.22 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 6.21%. In terms of volume, according to Fortune Business Insights, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow from approximately 8.4 billion units in 2019 to approximately 9.5 billion units in 2024, representing a CAGR of approximately 2.5%.

 

Growth Drivers in the ASEAN Region

 

We believe that the market for the health and wellness industry will continue to see rapid growth, in part due to the rising wealth in the ASEAN region resulting in increased purchase power. According to an article by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) published in May 2023, the trade in ASEAN grew by 33% between 2017 to 2021, outpaced the global trade at 24% during this period. BCG also forecasts exports from ASEAN will surge by 90% to US$3.2 trillion annually by 2031, and ASEAN’s combined GDP is projected to grow by a CAGR of 4.6% till 2030, becoming the world’s fourth largest market if viewed as single economy. (source: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/asean-free-trade-advantage-to-power-ahead) ASEAN countries have established six Free Trade Agreements with seven of the region’s main trading partners – Australia and New Zealand, China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is one of the largest Free Trade Agreements in the world and accounts for almost 13.5% of global GDP. The agreement brings together Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam, offering these countries investment access and free trade. For example, a study by the World Bank in 2018 pointed out that, conservatively, CPTPP will increase Vietnam’s GDP by 1.1% by 2030. (source: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2018/03/09/cptpp-brings-vietnam-direct-economic-benefits-and-stimulate-domestic-reforms-wb-report-says#:~:text=%E2%80%9CEven%20under%20conservative%20assumptions%2C%20the,Bank%20Country%20Director%20for%20V.) Furthermore, in January 2022 the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) took effect and the bloc accounts for roughly 30% of the world GDP. According to a report by Asian Development Bank, RCEP is expected to increase the income of member economies by 0.6% while adding US$245 billion to the regional economy. (source: https://blogs.adb.org/blog/three-areas-where-rcep-may-help-region-s-post-pandemic-recovery) Economic wealth has allowed for social development with more than 100 million people estimated to have joined ASEAN’s workforce over the past 20 years and another 59 million people are projected to be added by 2030. (source: https://www.sydney.edu.au/sydney-southeast-asia-centre/news/5-facts-about-asean.html#:~:text=More%20than%20100%20million%20people,third%2Dlargest%20labour%20force%20worldwide.) We believe a direct advantage of such economic growth is a fast-emerging middle class that will be attracted to our company and its products.

 

We believe that generally unhealthy lifestyles in the ASEAN population continues to form a basis for the growth in the health and wellness industry in the region. In a MarketWatch article citing Astute Analytica in June 2023, it was noted that the ASEAN Nutritonal Supplement market size is set to reach US$14.85 billion by 2031 from US$7.37 billion representing a CAGR of 8.40% during the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of lifestyle-induced disorders, or Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes and cancer, will be a key factor driving food supplements market growth. (source: https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/asean-nutritional-supplements-market-research-uncovering-insights-for-strategic-decision-making-forecast-2023-to-2031-2023-06-08) Estimates computed by the World Health Organization (WHO) state that close to 8 million people die every year in Southeast Asia due to NCDs, amounting to 55% of the total deaths in the region in a given year. According to the WHO, four risk factors tobacco, alcohol, lack of exercise, and poor diets are primarily responsible for the spread of NCDs in the region. For instance, the WHO found that at least 25% of boys in Malaysia and Thailand are obese and a large number of school children across Southeast Asia are largely physically inactive. Such conditions will contribute to a growth in demand for dietary supplement products, in order to promote a healthier lifestyle.

 

A rapidly aging population in the ASEAN region also promotes the need for preventive measures to mitigate against rising healthcare costs. An International Monetary Fund publication in April 2017 found that in East Asia, the population is projected to be the world’s fastest-aging region with its old-age dependency ratio roughly tripling by current rends by 2050. According to an article by Fortune Business Insights published in April 2020, the aging population in Southeast Asia has led to a significant rise in incidences of lifestyle-related diseases. As a result, healthcare costs will inevitably rise, leading to increased demand in the use of supplements in preventing deteriorative health conditions.

Industry Challenges

 

In spite of its high growth, the health and wellness industry also faces certain challenges. We believe the following are some key challenges to the industry:

 

Price sensitivity - health and wellness products such as dietary supplements and skincare products typically have premium prices which may only be affordable to certain segments of the population. Price conscious consumers with low purchasing power may not be able to purchase such products.
   
Consumer awareness – although COVID-19 has driven the increased consumption of immunity-related health supplements, consumer awareness on the benefits of dietary supplements may be relatively low in ASEAN region, leading to slower update of products. According to an article published by Nutri Avenue in November 2022, the consumption areas of global dietary supplements are mainly distributed in countries and regions like the United States, the EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan, as those countries have the highest penetration rate of nutritional supplements. (source: https://www.nutriavenue.com/key-country-dietary-supplement-market-2022/)

 

Competitive Landscape

 

The health and wellness industry in ASEAN remains highly competitive and fragmented. Key entry barriers of the industry include the following:

 

Capital requirements – Market participants are required to possess sufficient amount of capital and human resources to sustain their businesses, particularly the product research and development (R&D) process, daily operation costs and maintaining personnel knowledgeable in the products such as dietary consultants.
   
Reputation and relationship with suppliers and customers – In general, current market participants have already established an extensive business network with their upstream product suppliers, as well as established reputable products that attract customers. New market entrants without a prior supply chain and reputable products may find it difficult to build credible relationships with other suppliers or gain the trust of customers.

 

Our Strategies

 

We intend to pursue the following strategies to further develop and expand our business:

 

Expand the product range in each of our ATP Zeta Health Program, ÉNERGÉTIQUE and BEAUNIQUE series

 

We intend to continue to expand the product range in each of our product lines, namely, ATP Zeta Health Program, ÉNERGÉTIQUE and BEAUNIQUE series.

 

Further Penetrate Existing Markets.

 

We believe that there are several opportunities to further penetrate our existing markets. For example, besides offering dietary products and services through our ATP Zeta Health Program, we have also expanded our products and services to include beauty and wellness products via the introduction of ÉNERGÉTIQUE and BEAUNIQUE series in July 2018 and March 2019, respectively, with the goal of diversifying our product offerings and catering to broader market demands. Currently we maintain three sales branches in different locations in Malaysia, namely, Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Ipoh, and appointed three stockists, to whom the Company can assign its products, at two other locations in Malaysia to further cater to our distributors, members and customers.

 

Currently, the Company’s distributors and members mainly consists of the ethnic Chinese community. As a multi-racial country, the majority of the population in Malaysia is comprised of Bumiputera, which is comprised of Malays and other indigenous peoples, accounting for 62% of the entire Malaysia population, with an estimated population at approximately 33.9 million (as compared to the ethnic Chinese community which accounts for less than 22.8%). (source: https://www.igi-global.com/dictionary/innovation-culture-as-a-mediator-between-specific-human-capital-and-innovation-performance-among-bumiputera-smes-in-malaysia/58789). We believe there is opportunity for further penetration of our products into other ethnicity group within the existing Malaysian market.

 

As we further grow our business, we may further expand our local sales centers to additional locations with the aim to further distribute our products and appeal to local demand.

 

On November 11, 2021, Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) formed a joint-venture entity, DSY Wellness with Mr. Steve Yap following which Agape ATP Corporation (Labuan) owns 60% of the equity interests in DSY Wellness, to pursue the business of providing complementary health therapies. The establishment of DSY Wellness is a further expansion of our business into the health and wellness industry, with target customers including patients with chronic health disorder, chronic health issues and non-communicable diseases. We will also promote the prevention of chronic health disorder through lifestyle and nutrition programs supported by the health therapies of DSY Wellness.

Deepening our Relationships with Existing Members.

 

We offer membership and distributor discounts on all our product offerings. Customers are able to become lifetime members by paying a one-time membership fee with the purchase of specific products. Members who reach a predetermined amount of purchases per year are automatically promoted to become a distributor who also enjoys bonuses for products that they sell to other customers, as well as bonuses from the collective performance of their network group. As our members and distributors recognize the value of our platform and the quality of our products, they typically purchase additional products utilizing their membership and discount entitlements. Our sales strategy is focused on expanding our revenue per member. We believe there is significant opportunity for existing members to become distributers, as well as for distributors to further recruit new distributors under their network.

 

Further Investment into Information Technology such the Establishment of an E-Commerce platform.

 

In 2019, we embarked upon a strategic initiative to sell our products on an existing Malaysian e-trading platform to increase the efficiency of our supply chain, to better support and service our distributors and members, and to establish a global reach.

 

In 2022, we launched our e-trading website (https://www.agapeatp.com/index.php/en/) to provide better customer experience. We will continue to actively promote our e-trading platform for online recruitment of new members by existing distributors, as well as to provide direct sales to customers.

 

Once the e-trading platform has provided tangible results in the Malaysia market, we intend to expand the platform to other geographic markets in order to duplicate its success.

 

In line with the current popularity of using social influencers to boost product demand, the Company is also exploring the future appointment of key social influencers with significant numbers of followers as ambassadors for the Company’s products.

 

Geographic Expansion.

 

A key component of our strategy is to enter into and expand into new markets with similar cultures and a high demand for health and nutrition products. For example, the majority of our product information sessions and training seminars for distributors are currently conducted in Mandarin, which is the common language spoken amongst the majority of our distributors. We intend to invest into other Asian markets such as Taiwan, where Mandarin is also widely used and understood, allowing for the seamless transition in distributor training and membership recruitment.

 

With a view to facilitate geographical expansion, our future e-trading platform will also increase efficiency of our supply chain to better support and service our distributors and members as well as to provide online recruitment of new members by existing distributors and to provide direct sales to customers.

 

In 2022, we had launched our e-trading website (https://www.agapeatp.com/index.php/en/) to entice and provide better customer experience. We will continue to actively promote our e-trading platform for online recruitment of new members by existing distributors, as well as to provide direct sales to customers. Upon our e-trading platform having reached tangible results in the Malaysia market, we intend to expand the platform to other geographic markets in order to duplicate its success.

 

Pursue Growth Through the Acquisition of Other Health and Wellness Services Providers

 

The health and wellness industry is highly fragmented, and we intends to pursue growth through the acquisitions of services providers in the ASEAN with a strong brand presence in their area of operations. In reviewing potential targets, we identified target companies matching the following criterial (i) with profitability and customer base comprising customers from health care industry; and (ii) with established knowledge base of empirical/holistic skills, knowledge and technologies which are applicable to transform our company into a wellness ecosystem company such as skin care, cosmetic biological lab production, wellness center or complementary medicine therapies for chronic health problems, manufacturers of water filtration system, etc.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:

 

Well Established Reputation.

 

We have a well-established reputation in the Malaysia market, where our newly acquired subsidiary, Agape Superior Living Sdn Bhd has been operating as a reputable provider of our ATP Zeta Health Program for over 18 years.

 

Well-Established Product Portfolio.

 

We are committed to building our brand, and distributor and customer loyalty by providing quality health-oriented and wellness products. We have no expenditures or expenses relating to research and development of our products as all of our products are acquired from unrelated third parties and rebranded by us. Due to the high costs associated with research and development of nutrition and health products, we do not maintain any facilities to produce our products. We leverage our team of in-house nutritional consultants with rich experience gained in the area of nutritionist work, in collaborating with our customers and clients to understand the health and wellness market via a process of consultative review. We then communicate our findings and proposals to third-party suppliers to improve formulations, and to bring about new products for distributors and members who are ready to market to end-users.

Large, Highly-Motivated Distributor Base, Supported By Successful Training Methodology.

 

We had over 128,652 members, including 56,462 distributors, as of June 30, 2023. Because we believe the direct sales model is the most effective way to sell our products, we devote significant resources and management attention to assist our distributors in recruiting and retaining our members. We provide our distributors with successful training methodology, which includes meetings, workshops and activities to create social connections among distributors to develop proficiency of knowledge, confidence and skills to build recruitment strength. We structured our compensation system to encourage distributors to remain active in the business and to build a distributor network of their own, which can serve to increase their income and to increase our product sales. In order to encourage entrepreneurship within our distributors, we also maintain six service centers, including three operated by our stockists, to better service our distributors and members.

 

Scalable Business Model.

 

Our business model enables us to grow our business with minimal investment in our infrastructure and other fixed costs. We do not require a company-employed sales force to market and sell our products. As a result, we do not incur direct incremental cost to add a new distributor. Our distributor compensation varies directly with sales. In addition, our distributors bear the majority of our consumer marketing expenses. Furthermore, we can readily increase inventory and distribution of our products as a result of our partnerships with our third-party suppliers.

 

Deeply Experienced Founder-led Management Team.

 

Our founder, Dr. How Kok Choong, has led our company for over 18 years. In Malaysia, Dr. How Kok Choong was recognized by the Junior Chamber Malaysia (JCM) as an Outstanding Young Malaysian 2003, and was awarded the title of Justice of Peace of Malaysia since 2005.
