BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of business

DFP Holdings Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2021. The Company provides online and offline educational services in Taiwan. The Company has a September 30 fiscal year end.

On March 8, 2022, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, DFP Holdings Limited, was formed in Seychelles (the “Seychelles Company”). The Seychelles Company is an intermediate holding company, and operates business through its wholly owned subsidiary, DFP Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Taiwan (the “Taiwan Company”).

On May 24, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of Tide Holdings Limited (“TIDE”), a company incorporated in Seychelles from Mr. Hsu Shou Hung, the CEO of the Company, for $1.

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $71,391 and used cash in operations of $29,819. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to implement its business plan to increase its customer base and realize increased revenues. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Risks & uncertainties resulting from inflation, COVID-19, and geopolitical instability

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to slow its spread, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and other geopolitical and macroeconomic factors beyond our control, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability.

If equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may affect our ability to raise equity capital, borrow on our existing facilities, access our existing cash, or make any additional necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and/or more dilutive.

Basis of presentation

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

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tide Holdings Limited (TIDE), DFP Holdings Limited (Seychelles) (the “Seychelles Company”), and DFP Holdings Limited (Taiwan) (the “Taiwan Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates for assumptions used in impairment testing of long-term assets, and the accrual of potential liabilities.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, following the five-step model prescribed by ASC 606, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from providing online and offline educational services (“service revenue”). Revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are delivered, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract. The Company recognizes revenue from subscription services rateably over the subscription period. The Company recognizes deferred revenue at each period end for contracts that have been paid but which the related service has not been performed or delivered.

Cost of revenue

Cost of service revenue primarily consists of advertising and promotion fee, and facility rentals directly attributable to the services rendered.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at purchase of three months or less, including money market funds.

	As of June 30, 2024		As of September 30, 2023
	(Unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents
Denominated in United States Dollars	$	1,871,022	$	480,406
Denominated in New Taiwan Dollars		267,221		283,185
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,138,243	$	763,591

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of June 30, 2024, substantially all the Company’s cash was held by two major financial institutions located in Taiwan, which management believes is of high credit quality. At June 30, 2024, none of the Company’s cash accounts are insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

Fair value measurements

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue and due to officer, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiary maintains its books and records in its functional currency, New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”).

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

	As of and for the nine months ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Period-end NT$ : US$1 exchange rate		32.54		31.16
Period-average NT$ : US$1 exchange rate		31.89		30.86

Net income (loss) per share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

At June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, outstanding.

Segment information

Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer views the Company’s operations and manages its business in one operating segment, which is conducting business as an educational service company.

Concentrations

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, and for the three months ended June 30, 2023, no service provider accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s operating costs and expenses. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, one service provider, a related party, accounted for 17% of the Company’s operating costs and expenses.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance. This standard becomes effective for the Company beginning on October 1, 2024. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2023, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
