The Group plans to expand its distribution into other South East Asia markets, China and Asia markets, which has high potential demand for air-conditioning as their population gross domestic product (“GDP”) increases. Taking advantage of the global awareness and push to reduce harmful factors leading to global warming, the Group continues to market its EvoAir TM brand and e-Cond Evo TM as eco-friendly products aiming to reduce emission of waste heat from the air-conditioner condensing units and at the same time improving energy efficiency. The Group aims to continue its innovation through investment into research and development, to further improve on its product lines, reduce its carbon emissions as it strives to become a leader in HVAC green inventions. ● Continued production of air purifier and air-sanitizing systems The Group continues to improve on its production of air purifier and air-sanitizing systems in order to capitalize on increased market demand for air sanitizing products in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. The Group is expanding usage and application of its INCU Technology, which acts as an effective disinfectant solution into more sectors and markets as the Group foresees growth in demand for air-sanitizing products as a must-have product in general consumer households in the near future. Besides household consumers, the Group also aims to expand its commercial and industrial customer base, as well as partake in public sanitation projects. In terms of sanitation products, the company aims to expand into personal healthcare products such as formulated toiletries cleansers incorporating the INCU ionic nano copper solution as an active ingredient. ● Geographical expansion A key component of our strategy is to enter into and expand into new markets with high demand for HVAC. The Group intends to replicate the similar model, continue development of its product line and expand into other Southeast Asian countries and the Chinese market, with possible expansion into the Middle East, Indonesia and India in the future. ● Promoting importance of environmental-friendly technology The Group also advocates the importance of promoting environmentally friendly technology and creating awareness to the public to play a part in protecting the environment as well as creating synergy with the Group’s products and brand image. On 5 May 2023, the Company launched ‘Cool the Earth Day’ which marks the birth of the environmental movement for HVAC industry. It was a movement launched by EvoAir Group advocating that (i) everyone can enhance his/her lifestyle through green inventions while preserving the Earth; and (ii) everyone can be the ‘Ambassador of the Earth’ - everyone can do a part, be it in the smallest way in protecting our environment. ‘Cool the Earth Day’ is a movement in line with the Company’s mission to contribute to the Earth and society amidst the alarming global warming and climate change issues confronting the world and its 8 billion population through green inventions and creating awareness. We hope that through this movement, people will raise their awareness that everyone can do a part, be it in the smallest way in protecting our environment. At EvoAir, every member is an Ambassador of the Earth, sharing the same mission of protecting the Earth. The Company believes that everyone around the globe can be an Ambassador of the Earth. In 2023, the Group collaborated with a university in Malaysia to study the effect of heat generated by outdoor condensing unit of traditional air-conditioning system towards surrounding environment, by studying the effects of air conditioning system on plant growth in a green-house setting. The study concludes that air produced by EvoAir TM outdoor condensing unit, Coolpressor, is lower in temperature and is more environmental friendly and favourable for the growth of green planted compared to hot air produced by conventional air-conditioner outdoor condensing unit. This positive outcome will surely path a new and sustainable direction in term of energy savings. The Group looks to continue embracing such promotions and is committed to creating awareness and promoting environmental sustainability. We envision becoming an international player in HVAC sector focusing on environmental, social, governance (“ESG”) efforts and initiatives in the future. ● Developing and distributing INCZN health supplement The Group has launched an INCZN health supplement product and partnering with OEM to manufacture the supplements. INCZN is designed to provide health benefits including improving immune system, protecting against diseases such as mouth, throat and lung cancer, regulate blood pressure and strengthening cardiovascular health, improve stomach digestion and gout repair through the benefit of zinc and copper. The Company intends to build on the further development and distribution of INCZN in order to diversify our product offerings in the future. 7 | Page Product Lines Hybrid Air Conditioners e-Cond EVO TM With the objective of embracing well-being of mankind through green living and preserving the Earth through green inventions e-Cond EVO TM is a breakthrough invention building on the research and development (“R&D”) of Dr Low Wai Koon (“Dr. Low”), our Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his team, it is the Group’s first invented its line of eco-friendly portable air-conditioners under its e-Cond EVO TM brand in 2017. The unit is an eco-friendly air-conditioning system with patent pending heat emission control system (“HECS”) technology, which regulates the temperature and volume of heat transferred from the air-conditioning system into the environment. This product employs an innovative hydro-refrigeration system (“HRS”) integrating evaporative cooling process with refrigeration cycle, reducing temperature of the output air by approximately 30% while achieving an optimal cooling performance of approximately 25 to 28 degree Celsius. The patent pending technology in the unit allows it to utilize substantially lower energy than its traditional air-conditioning units. The portable air-conditioning systems also incorporate ionizer technology producing high concentrations of negative ions to purify the surrounding air of mold spores, pollen, pet dander, odors, cigarette smoke, bacteria, viruses, dust and other hazardous airborne particles. The Company markets two models of the e-Cond EVO TM units: the Super King and the Outdoor King. EvoAir TM The Group continued to research on incorporating its patent pending HECS Technology as well as various other patent pending technologies into its product line, subsequently launching its EvoAir TM hybrid air-conditioners in 2021. The Group’s core product, EvoAir TM , is a first-of-its-kind eco-friendly air-conditioner with granted patent or utility model/ patent or utility model pending heat emission control system (“HECS”) proprietary technology, which turns waste heat released by conventional air-conditioner condenser (external unit) into cool and moisturised air at approximately 26 o C to 32 o C with a humidity of ±60%, operating under outdoor condition, which is optimal for human and living things. The re-engineering of the air-conditioning system has transformed the air-conditioner condenser (external unit) into a supplementary cooling unit or ‘ Coolpressor ’, which also functions as an air cooler. It also reduces energy consumption of at least 20% compared to conventional air-conditioning units. The significant decrease in waste heat and reduction in energy consumption play an important role in reducing harmful effects to the environment, in line with the Group’s mission of producing eco-friendly invention in protecting the Earth. 8 | Page Air-conditioning refrigerant is harmful to the environment. The EvoAir TM system utilizes the R32 refrigerant in its operation, which is 9% lower in density than the traditionally used R410A refrigerant found in various conventional air-conditioning systems, while maintaining approximately 43-50% higher latent heat vaporization and approximately 41% higher thermal conductivity when combined with the Group’s other patent-pending technologies. EvoAir TM ’s system design also allows for a further reduction in refrigerant use of at least 30% compared to conventional air-conditioning systems with traditional long copper coils by increasing the efficiency of the heat transfer in the R32 refrigerant, in doing so, further increasing refrigerant efficiency. The EvoAir TM hybrid air-conditioning system was awarded SGS International Certification in 2021. Residential Units We offer a variety options of EvoAir TM hybrid air conditioner range from 1.0 HP to 2.5 HP, where indoor units of wall mounted and ceiling cassette (selected models) options are available for residential users. Our residential EvoAir TM units are all supplied by 220-240V, single phase and 50Hz of power supply, using R32 as refrigerant. While the dimension size for outdoor unit (Coolpressor) is 925mm x 355mm x 685mm, which comes with an LCD remote control to operates it individually. Each coolpressor is equipped with an up & down automatic louver. Commercial Units Aside from residential units, we also offer EvoAir TM commercial / industrial units range from 5HP to 25HP, where the placement of air conditioner unit in the ideal settings would be most cooling effective to the certain area. The application of commercial units are normally office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, or manufacturing facilities. Due to efficiency consideration, commercial units are using 3 phase power supply and R410A as refrigerant charge (instead of R32). Dimension size of Coolpressor comparing to residential units are larger and heavier too. Retrofitting Service We also provide retrofit service to commercial customers that wishes to keep their existing HVAC systems. Our retrofitting services include replacing the customers’ outdoor condensing unit with the patent-pending HECS technology. Retrofitting service allow for large saving of resources for our enterprise customers, who can avoid fully replacing their air conditioning units, which may be costly depending on the number of existing air conditioning unites already deployed. Customization Services We also provide customization services for specific customers, including stainless-steel coverings to prevent corrosion for customers in locations susceptible to erosion, such as near the coastline. 9 | Page Manufacturing The Group produces its Coolpressor under its EvoAir TM brand.

The Air Conditioner Industry Growing demand for cooling According to International Energy Agency (“IEA”) (https://www.iea.org/energy-system/buildings/space-cooling#tracking), there are currently about 2 billion air conditioning units operating worldwide, and by 2050, it is predicted that there will be 5.6 billion units. According to the statistics report published by the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (“JRAIA”) (https://www.jraia.or.jp) in July 2022, the world’s total air conditioner demand in 2021 is estimated at 110 million, which represent 102% of the world demand in 2020. Looking at the 2021 world demand in terms of Japan, China and other regions, the largest demand is from China, of which demand is estimated to have reached 41.305 million, representing 98% of 2020’s demand. China’s demand accounts for 38% of the total global demand. Next to China, the Asian region (excluding Japan and China) stands at approximately 17.983 million, followed by North America with 16.515 million, Japan with 10.201 million, Europe with 8.885 million and Latin America with 6.547 million. Air-conditioners vary in energy efficiency and their usage lead to a global consumption of approximately 2,000 terawatt hours of electricity annually. In addition, almost 20% of all the electricity used in buildings is for cooling, accounting for 14% of average peak residential electricity demand globally. The emerging economies are expected to use more air-conditioners as income levels rise. Of the 2.8 billion people living in the hottest parts of the world, only 8% currently own air-conditioning units compared to approximately 90% ownership in the United States and Japan. By 2050, India, China and Indonesia may account for 50% of the projected growth in energy use for space cooling. 11 | Page Global Emissions from the use of Air Conditioners The efficiency of air conditioners vary widely, in all major markets today, consumers are typically buying air conditioners whose average efficiencies are less than half of what is available. Carbon dioxide emissions from cooling systems have tripled since 1990 to 1,130 million tons in 2016, and local air pollutants caused by cooling systems have also increased. Greenhouse Gases produced include Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change: ● Carbon dioxide is called a greenhouse gas because it absorbs infrared energy and remits this energy back in all directions. About half of that energy goes out into space and about half of it returns to Earth as heat, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change ● The four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. Carbon dioxide accounts for about 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. ● About 30% of greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, 25% come from the production of electricity, 23% comes from industrial production, 12% comes from commercial and residential sources and 10% comes from agriculture. ● Climate change could increase the occurrence and severity of weather events, such as heat waves, droughts and floods. These changes are likely to increase losses to property and crops and affect economic activity. ● The usage of air conditioners has a significant impact on the environment. Air-conditioners use chemical refrigerants, usually hydrofluorocarbons in their heat exchange systems. The hydrofluorocarbons contributes significantly to global warming if leaked to the atmosphere. ● The generation of the electricity to power the air conditioners also contribute to significant emissions, especially when fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. Urbanized areas have higher temperatures than less urbanized areas, contributing to heat islands. This is because urban areas usually have less greenery. Roads and buildings absorb and re-emit daytime heat more than forests and water bodies. As a result, urban daytime temperatures can reach approximately 1 to 7 degrees higher in Fahrenheit than the outlying areas and night-time temperatures can reach approximately 2 to 5 degrees higher in Fahrenheit. The use of air conditioners extract hot air to the outside of buildings. On high temperature days, the hot air emitted by air-conditioner units increases the outdoor temperature. This in turn increases the need for more cooling and creates a feedback loop. The use of air conditioners can increase outdoor urban temperatures by more than approximately 1 degree Celsius in some cities Global Efforts to combat Climate Change and Global Warming If the current rate of growth of energy use by air conditioners continues, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) predicts that by 2050, global energy usage for space cooling would triple to 6,200 terra watts. This would triple the amount of carbon dioxide emissions and heavy investments in electricity infrastructure to meet peak electricity demand. This could cause severe financial strain on emerging economies. Over the years, countries around the world have come together to support policies to combat climate change. However, obtaining consensus has been challenging because of political and national circumstances. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which entered into force on 1 January 2019, help protect the climate by phasing down high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are commonly used as refrigerants. Promoting the energy efficiency of cooling technology can also significantly increase climate benefits. ● From October 31 to November 12, 2021, the 26th annual UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) was held in Glasgow, Scotland. The objectives of COP26 were: i. Countries were called out to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and to cap the increase in global temperatures below 1.5°C from current levels; ii. To protect and restore ecosystems and habitats and build resilient infrastructures to withstand climate change; iii. Developed nations to mobilize $100bn in climate finance per year for poorer nations; and iv. Parties of COP26 to finalize the agreement and rules for action and monitoring. The Role of Air conditioners Efficiency in combating Climate Change Intuitively, the more energy efficient air-conditioners are, the less electricity they would consume, and less fossil fuels would be burnt to produce electricity. This would lead to less carbon dioxide emissions which could reduce global warming. The EIA highlighted one area where policy action could deliver substantial energy savings quickly — by making air conditioners equipment more efficient. Through stricter minimum energy performance standards and other measure such as labelling, the average energy efficiency of the stock of air conditioners globally could more than double in efficiency between now and 2050. This could reduce cooling-related energy demand to 3,400 terawatts in 2050 compared to 6,200 terawatts if efficiency remained at current levels. The 45% reduction in energy usage or 2,800 terawatts could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,582 megatons annually. This scenario was called the Efficient Cooling Scenario by EIA. 12 | Page In addition, the use of less electricity because of more efficient air conditioners greatly reduces the need to build new generation capacity to meet peak electricity demand. In the Efficient Cooling Scenario, there would not be a need to build additional capacity deliver the 1,300 gigawatts of power with more efficient air conditioners. This is equivalent to all the coal-fired power generation in China and India today. In addition, the cumulative infrastructure, fuel and operating costs savings amounted to $2.9 trillion from 2017 to 2050. This means 45% lower electricity costs for everyone as well, compared to if there were no efficiency improvements in air conditioners Number of Aircon sold per Year (Thousands of units) 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 World 104,367 103,790 99,355 102,312 110,972 110,971 115,872 107,447 110,041 Residential Aircon 91,432 90,704 86,244 88,807 96,405 96,071 101,952 93,949 95,162 Commercial Aircon 12,935 13,086 13,111 13,505 14,567 14,900 13,920 13,499 14,879 By Continent North America 14,060 14,461 14,348 14,603 15,315 15,589 14,226 15,029 16,515 Asia (Ex-Japan and China) 13,672 14,540 15,146 16,411 17,604 17,817 19,245 16,196 17,983 Europe 6,739 5,622 5,411 6,071 6,670 6,912 7,991 7,604 8,885 Latin America 7,943 8,203 7,324 6,469 6,767 6,834 8,254 7,423 6,547 Middle East 5,300 5,505 5,384 5,264 5,062 4,337 4,194 3,992 3,684 Africa 2,555 2,597 2,526 2,633 2,578 3,036 3,125 2,981 3,489 Oceania 973 1,050 1,096 1,127 1,289 1,291 1,319 1,396 1,432 51,242 51,978 51,235 52,578 55,285 55,816 58,354 54,621 58,535 By Country (Standalone) Japan 9,817 9,336 8,899 9,146 9,744 10,521 10,768 10,687 10,201 China 43,308 42,477 39,222 40,587 45,945 44,633 46,751 42,142 41,305 53,125 51,813 48,121 49,733 55,689 55,154 57,519 52,829 51,506 104,367 103,791 99,356 102,311 110,974 110,970 115,873 107,450 110,041 Selected South East Asia Malaysia 902 898 878 936 970 1,002 1,001 902 867 Singapore 163 162 158 157 143 142 135 113 121 Indonesia 2,246 2,287 2,202 2,300 2,337 2,339 2,365 1,929 2,159 Source: World Air Conditioner Demand by Region (June 2019 & July 2022) - The Japan Refrigeration and Airconditioning Industry Association (JRAIA) As derived from the JRAIA report, in 2021, approximately 110 million units of air conditioners were sold globally of which approximately 86% were residential units and approximately 14% were commercial units.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Risks Related to Our Business and Industry If we are unable to continue to innovate, meet evolving market trends, adapt to changing customer demands and maintain our culture of innovation, our ability to sustain and grow our business may suffer. The ongoing success of our business depends on our ability to continue to introduce innovative eco-friendly HVAC products to meet evolving market trends and satisfy changing customer demands. We must continue to adapt by innovating, improving our products and modifying our strategies, which could cause us to incur substantial costs. We may not be able to continue to innovate or adapt to changing market and customer needs in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all. This could adversely impact our ability to expand our ecosystem and grow our business. Failure to develop new products to meet evolving market demands through innovation could cause us to lose current and potential customers and harm our operating results and financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to maintain our culture of innovation, which has been critical to our success and has helped us create value for our shareholders, succeed as a leader in eco-friendly HVAC products, attract, retain and motivate employees and other ecosystem participants. Among other challenges, we may not be able to identify and promote people into leadership positions who share our culture and also focus on technology and innovation. Competitive pressure may also cause us to move in directions that may divert us from our mission, vision and values. If we cannot maintain our culture of innovation, our long-term business prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 18 | Page We are exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on our largest nano copper supplier for the supply of nano copper solution for our INCU technology, and any shortage of, or delay in, the supply may significantly impact on our business and results of operation. We source INCU nano copper solution for incorporation of our INCU technology into our air purifier products for sale to our customers from our largest nano copper supplier. As such, we rely on the ability and efficiency of our largest supplier to supply products. Our purchase from our largest nano copper supplier amounted to approximately Nil and $315,627 for FYE2023 and FYE 2022, respectively, representing approximately 37% and 30% of our total purchases, respectively. Our purchases from our top largest supplier accounted for a significant portion of our total purchases for FYE2022 and FYE2021. As we do not engage in manufacturing of nano copper solution, our business, financial condition and operating results for our air purifier system depends on the continuous supply of nano copper solution from our largest supplier and our continuous supplier-customer relationship with them. Our heavy reliance on our largest supplier for the supply of nano copper solution will have significant impact on our air purifier business and results of operation in the event of any shortage of, or delay in the supply. Our product supply may also be disrupted by potential labor disputes, strike action or natural disasters or other accidents affecting our largest supplier. If our largest 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. Any shortage of, disruption, or delay in the supply, or our inability to obtain supplies from alternative sources will have a significant impact on our business and results of operation. We entered into distribution agreement with our nano copper solution supplier in September, 2020 and December 2021. As is customary in the supply or sales arrangements, the agreements with our largest supplier are terminable by either party by giving notice. We cannot guarantee that our largest suppliers will not terminate the agreements before the expiry of the agreements. In the event that our largest suppliers terminate the agreements, we will have to source products from other suppliers and we may not be able to secure a similar supply of products with the quantity and quality required to support our business or at all. Such termination may therefore have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results if we fail to engage any other suppliers with similar standards before the termination. There is no assurance that our major nano copper supplier and supplier of raw materials for our other products will continue to supply their products in the quantities and timeframes required by us to meet the demand of our customers or comply with their supply agreements with us. If our major supplier does 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. Furthermore, our largest nano copper supplier may change their existing sales or marketing strategy in respect of the products supplied to us by changing its export strategy, reducing its sales or production volume or changing its selling prices. As a result, there is no assurance that our largest supplier will not appoint other agents, 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 largest suppliers will increase our costs and may materially and adversely affect our profit margin if we are not able to pass the increased costs on to our customers. There is no assurance that there will be no deterioration in our relationship with our largest supplier which could affect our ability to secure sufficient supply of products for our business. In the event that our largest supplier change their sales or marketing strategy or otherwise appoints other dealers or distributors who may compete with us, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. We operate in a competitive industry, and if we fail to compete effectively, our business could suffer. The air-conditioning and air purifying industry in Asia is highly competitive. Competition in our HVAC products includes several multinational, regional and local companies, the largest players of which include Daikin Industries, Gree Electric, Trane Technologies, Johnson Controls, Lennox International, Midea Group and Mitsubishi Electric. Sales depend on price, product availability, delivery schedule, product performance, product line breadth, brand reputation, design, technical expertise and service. In addition to established players, we face competition from new market entrants. Increased competition may lead to a loss of market share, increased difficulty in launching new service offerings, reduction in revenue or increase in loss, any one of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In certain of our businesses, our contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis. Our bids are based upon, among other factors, the cost to timely provide the products and services. To generate an acceptable return, we must accurately estimate our costs and schedule. If we fail to do so, the profitability of contracts may be materially and adversely affected – including because some of our contracts provide for liquidated damages if we do not perform on time – which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 19 | Page 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 over customers. 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. Currently, we sell our products, under our various product line brands, to domestic customers in Malaysia and to overseas customers. However, while the management does not consider the likelihood to be high, if our competitors initiate a lawsuit against us for infringing their trademarks, 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 operate in a competitive environment and our profitability and competitive position depend on our ability to accurately estimate the costs and timing of providing our products and services. Climate change and regulations associated with climate change could adversely affect our business. The effects of climate change, including extreme weather conditions, create financial risks to our business. The effects of climate change could disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and cost of materials and by increasing insurance and other operating costs. The effects of climate change also may impact our decisions to construct new facilities or maintain existing facilities in the areas most prone to physical risks, which could similarly increase our operating and material costs. We could also face indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain that could result in higher prices for our products and the resources needed to produce them. There is a general consensus that greenhouse gas emissions are linked to climate change, and that these emissions must be reduced dramatically to avert its worst effects. As a result, increased public awareness and concern about climate change will likely continue to (1) generate more international, regional and/or national concerns and result in the implementation of further requirements and restrictions at international, regional and/or national level to curtail the use of high global warming potential refrigerants (which are essential to many of our products); (2) encourage increase in building energy efficiency; and (3) cause a shift away from the use of fossil fuels as an energy source. While our products are focused on being eco-friendly, these requirements may render some of the existing technology, particularly some of our products that require refrigerant use, non-compliant or obsolete. While we continue to be committed to developing eco-friendly sustainable solutions for our products, there can be no assurance that our development efforts will be successful, that our products will be accepted by the market, that proposed regulations or deregulation will not have an adverse effect on our competitive position, or that economic returns will reflect our investments in new product development. The inconsistent international, regional and/or national requirements associated with climate change regulations also create economic and regulatory uncertainty. There is also regulatory and budgetary uncertainty associated with government incentives, which, if discontinued, could adversely impact the demand for energy-efficient buildings and could increase costs of compliance. Our business and financial performance depend on continued and substantial investments in our information technology infrastructure, which may not yield anticipated benefits and which may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The efficient operation of our business requires continued and substantial investments in information technology (“IT”) infrastructure systems. The failure to design, develop and implement new IT technology infrastructure systems in an effective and timely manner or to maintain existing systems could divert management’s attention and resources. Our information systems may also become obsolete because of inadequate investments, requiring an unplanned transition to a new platform that could be time consuming, costly, and damaging to our competitive position and could require additional management attention. Repeated or prolonged interruptions of service because of poor execution, inadequate investments or obsolescence could have a significant adverse impact on our reputation and our ability to sell products and services. 20 | Page In addition, our business may be impacted by disruptions to our or third-party IT infrastructure, which could result from (among other causes) cyber-attacks, infrastructure failures or compromises to our physical security. Cyber-based risks are evolving and include attacks: (i) on our IT infrastructure (ii) targeting the security, integrity and/or availability of hardware and software; (iii) on information installed, stored or transmitted in our products (including after the purchase of those products and when they are installed into third-party products); and (iv) on facilities or similar infrastructure. Such attacks could disrupt our systems (or those of third parties) and business operations, impact the ability of our products to work as intended or result in the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information in violation of applicable law and/or contractual obligations. We have experienced cyber-based attacks and, due to the evolving threat landscape, may continue to experience them going forward, potentially with more frequency or severity. We continue to make investments and adopt measures to enhance our protection, detection, response and recovery capabilities, and to mitigate potential risks to our technology, products, services, operations and confidential data. However, depending on the nature, sophistication and scope of cyber-attacks, it is possible that potential vulnerabilities could go undetected for an extended period. As a result, we could potentially experience: (i) production downtimes; (ii) operational delays or other detrimental impacts on our operations; (iii) destruction or corruption of data; (iv) security breaches; (v) manipulation or improper use of our or third-party systems, networks or products; and (vi) financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business, liability, penalties, fines and/or damage to our reputation—any of which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Due to the evolving nature of such risks, the impact of any potential incident cannot be predicted. In addition, because of the global nature of our business, our internal systems and products must comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards in a number of jurisdictions, and government enforcement actions and violations of data privacy and cybersecurity laws could be costly or interrupt our business operations. Any disruption to our business arising from such issues, or an increase in our costs to cover these issues that is greater than what we have anticipated, could have an adverse effect on our competitive position, reputation, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We depend on our intellectual property and have access to certain intellectual property and information of our customers and suppliers. Infringement of or the failure to protect that intellectual property could adversely affect our future growth and success. The Company’s intellectual property rights are important to our business and include numerous patents, trademarks, proprietary technology, technical data, business processes and other confidential information. Although we consider our intellectual property rights in the aggregate to be valuable, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent on a single intellectual property right or any group of them. We nonetheless rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, nondisclosure agreements, customer and supplier agreements, license agreements, information technology security systems, internal controls and compliance systems and other measures to protect our intellectual property. We also rely on nondisclosure agreements, information technology security systems and other measures to protect certain customer and supplier information and intellectual property that we have in our possession or to which we have access. Our efforts to protect such intellectual property and proprietary information may not be sufficient, however. We cannot be sure that our pending patent applications will result in the issuance of patents, that patents issued to or licensed by us in the past or in the future will not be challenged or circumvented by competitors, or that these patents will found to be valid or sufficiently broad to preclude our competitors from introducing technologies similar to those covered by our patents and patent applications. In addition, we may be the target of competitor or other third-party patent enforcement actions seeking substantial monetary damages or seeking to prevent the sale and marketing of certain of our products. Our competitive position also may be adversely impacted by limitations on our ability to obtain possession, ownership or necessary licenses concerning data important to the development or sale of our products or service offerings, or by limitations on our ability to restrict the use by others of data related to our products or services. Any of these events or factors could subject us to judgments, penalties and significant litigation costs or temporarily or permanently disrupt our sales and marketing of the affected products or services and could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 21 | Page We use a variety of raw materials and supplier-provided parts in our business. Significant shortages, supplier capacity constraints or production disruptions, price increases, or tariffs could increase our operating costs and adversely impact the competitive positions of our products. Our reliance on suppliers and commodity markets to secure components and raw materials (such as copper and steel as well as INCU ionic copper solution), and on service providers to deliver our products, exposes us to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials and services. That potential volatility is particularly acute in certain instances where we depend upon a single source. Issues with suppliers (such as delivery or production disruptions, capacity constraints, quality issues, consolidations, closings or bankruptcies), price increases, raw material shortages, or the decreased availability of trucks and other delivery services could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs. We use various strategies to lock in prices of expected purchases of certain raw materials; however, these efforts could cause us to pay higher prices for a commodity when compared with the market price at the time the commodity is actually purchased or delivered. Tariffs can also increase our costs, the impact of which is difficult to predict. However, we believe that our supply management and production practices appropriately balance the foreseeable risks and the costs of alternative practices. Nonetheless, these risks may have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We design, manufacture and service products that incorporate advanced technologies. The introduction of new products and technologies involves risks, and we may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated. Our future success depends on designing, developing, producing, selling and supporting innovative products that incorporate advanced technologies. The regulations applicable to our products, as well as our customers’ product and service needs, change from time to time. Moreover, regulatory changes may render our products and technologies non-compliant. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our technological advancements or product improvements – including those associated with regulatory changes – depends on a variety of factors, including: meeting development, production, and regulatory approval schedules; meeting performance plans and expectations; the availability of raw materials and parts; our suppliers’ performance; the hiring, training and deployment of qualified personnel; achieving efficiencies; identifying emerging regulatory and technological trends; validating innovative technologies; the level of customer interest in new technologies and products; and the costs and customer acceptance of our new or improved products. Failure to achieve and maintain a high level of product and service quality could damage our reputation with customers and negatively impact our results. Product and service quality issues could harm customer confidence in our company and our brands. If certain of our product offerings do not meet applicable safety standards or our customers’ expectations regarding safety or quality, we can experience lost sales and increased costs and we can and have been exposed to legal, financial and reputational risks. Actual, potential or perceived product safety concerns could expose us to litigation as well as government enforcement actions, which has also occurred in certain instances. In addition, when our products fail to perform as expected, we are exposed to warranty, product liability claims, personal injury and other claims. We maintain strict quality controls and procedures. However, we cannot be certain that these controls and procedures will reveal defects in our products or their raw materials, which may not become apparent until after the products have been placed in use in the market. Accordingly, there is a risk that products will have defects, which could require a product recall. Product recalls can be expensive to implement, and may damage our reputation, customer relationships and market share. In many jurisdictions, product liability claims are not limited to any specified amount of recovery. If any such claims or contribution requests or requirements exceed our available insurance or if there is a product recall, there could be an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, a recall or claim could require us to review our entire product portfolio to assess whether similar issues are present in other products, which could result in a significant disruption to our business and which could have a further adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any material warranty or product liability claim losses in the future, that we will not incur significant costs to defend such claims or that we will have adequate reserves to cover any recalls, repair and replacement costs. 22 | Page We are subject to litigation, environmental, and other legal and compliance risks. We are subject to a variety of litigation, legal and compliance risks. These risks relate to, among other things, personal injuries, intellectual property rights, contract-related claims, taxes, environmental matters, employee health and safety, competition laws and laws governing improper business practices. If found responsible in connection with such matters, we could be subject to significant fines, penalties, repayments and other damages (in certain cases, treble damages), and experience reputational harm. On October 8, 2021, a filing (the “Filing”) was made with the Kuala Lumpur High Court by a reseller (the “Reseller”) of the Company’s INCU ionic nano copper solution (the “Solution”) and the Reseller’s related party (together with the Reseller, the “Plaintiffs”). The Reseller was authorized by WKL Eco Earth as its sole distributor of the Solution (the “WKL Distributor”) to resell the Solution together with a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml through a tripartite agreement (the “Tripartite Agreement”) entered into between (a) the Reseller, (b) the WKL Distributor and (c) a solution packaging company (the “Packaging Company”). WKL Eco Earth was not a party to the Tripartite Agreement and did not directly authorize or engage the Reseller in the resale of the Solution. In the Filing, the Plaintiffs claimed against (i) WKL Eco Earth; (ii) Dr. Low; (iii) Chan Kok Wei, (iv) the Packaging Company and (v) two directors of the Packaging Company for loss and damages arising from an alleged breach of contract, defamation and tort of inducement. The Plaintiffs also alleged that pursuant to the Tripartite Agreement, WKL Eco Earth was prohibited from selling the Solution to any party other than the WKL Distributor, and that the Tripartite Agreement allowed for the resale of the Solution by the Plaintiffs without limitation, the Plaintiffs were not confined in their resale of the Solution to a product consisting of a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims. As a global business, we are subject to complex laws and regulations in Malaysia. and other countries in which we operate. Those laws and regulations may be interpreted in different ways. They may also change from time to time, as may related interpretations and other guidance. Changes in laws or regulations could result in higher expenses. Uncertainty relating to laws or regulations may also affect how we operate, structure our investments and enforce our rights. Changes in environmental and climate change related-laws could require additional investments in product designs, which may be more expensive or difficult to manufacture, qualify and sell and/or may involve additional product safety risks and could increase environmental compliance expenditures. At times we are involved in disputes with private parties over environmental issues, including litigation over the allocation of cleanup costs, alleged personal injuries and property damage. Existing and future asbestos-related claims could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Personal injury lawsuits may involve individual and purported class actions alleging that contaminants originating from our current or former products or operating facilities caused or contributed to medical conditions. Property damage lawsuits may involve claims relating to environmental damage or diminution of real estate values. Even in litigation where we believe our liability is remote, there is a risk that a negative finding or decision could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, in particular with respect to environmental claims in regions where we have, or previously had, significant operations or where certain of our products have been manufactured and used. 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. Our business depends on the continued contributions made by Low Wai Koon (“Dr. Low”), as our founder, chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chairman of the board, the loss of who may result in a severe impediment to our business, results of operation and financial condition. Our success is dependent upon the continued contributions made by founder, chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chairman of the board, Dr. Low. 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 Dr. Low should die or resign. In order to mitigate this risk, the Group has continued to invest in its personnel training as well as investment into its research and development department. However, if Dr. Low 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 severe damage to our business operations and would have an adverse material impact on our financial position and operating results. To sustain our operations, the Company may have to recruit and train replacement personnel at a higher cost. In addition, if Dr. Low joins our competitors or develops similar businesses that are in competition with our Company, our business, results of operation and financial conditions may also be negatively impacted. 23 | Page 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. According to Economy Outlook 2024 from Ministry of Finance Malaysia, global growth is projected to moderate in 2023 and 2024 following slow growth in advanced economies; volatile financial market due to tightening monetary policy; prolonged geopolitical tensions; and increasing climatic changes. Nevertheless, inflation continues to soften as markets head towards supply chain stabilisation. In addition, world trade is projected to moderate in 2023 in line with weaker global demand. However, global trade is expected to increase in 2024 in tandem with improved trade activity in advanced economies, and emerging market and developing economies (“EMDEs”). In the case of Malaysia, the economy continued to expand amid these persistent challenges in the external environment. During the first half of 2023, GDP posted a growth of 4.2% supported by resilient domestic demand, in particular private expenditure. Despite escalating uncertainties in the global landscape, Malaysia’s economy remains resilient. The GDP is forecast to expand by approximately 4% in 2023 and between 4% and 5% in 2024. The Government acknowledged the World Bank’s forecast that Malaysia’s growth will be 4.3% in 2024, which is slightly higher than its initial estimate. This is in line with Malaysia’s 2024 growth projection, which will be achieved through robust domestic demand, effectively offsetting the challenges posed by the moderate global growth, supported by the implementation of measures in the new National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), and the Mid-Term Review of the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (MTR of the Twelfth Plan). 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 Movement Control Orders (“MCO”). The MCO had resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia. Conditional Movement Control Orders were introduced where most business sectors were allowed to operate under strict rules and Standard Operating Procedures mandated by the government of Malaysia, followed by Recovery Movement Control Orders. 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 1, 2022, the Malaysian government announced the country had begun transitioning 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 operation. 24 | Page Many of the economies in Asia, including Singapore, are experiencing substantial inflationary pressures which may prompt the governments to take action to control the growth of the economy and inflation that could lead to a significant decrease in our profitability in the future. While many of the economies in Asia have experienced rapid growth over the last two decades, they currently are experiencing inflationary pressures. As governments take steps to address the current inflationary pressures, there may be significant changes in the availability of bank credit, interest rate increases, limitations on loans, or restrictions on currency conversions and foreign investment. There also may be imposition of price controls. If prices for the products we source or if wages rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in these costs, it may have an adverse effect on our profitability. If these or other similar restrictions are imposed by a government to influence the economy, it may lead to a slowing of economic growth. Singapore’s core inflation rose to 5.3% on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis in September 2022, compared to 5.1% in August 2022. The pickup in core inflation was on account of larger increases in the prices of food, services and retail & other goods. CPI (consumer price index)—All Items inflation was 7.5% year-over-year in September 2022, unchanged from that in August. (source: https://www.mas.gov.sg/-/media/MAS/EPG/CPD/2022/Inflation202209.pdf) While this inflationary trend will result in higher operational costs, we believe that this also strengthens our value proposition by emphasizing potential savings to customers through improved productivity and workflow efficiency derived from our technology solutions. To mitigate inflationary pressures, we will regularly review our pricing structure to ensure sustainable profitability. Risks Related to Intellectual Property If we are not able to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property and information, and protect against third party claims that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights, our results of operations could be adversely affected. The value of our business depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property including our patents applications and trademarks, as well as our customer, employee, and customer data. Third parties may try to challenge our ownership of our intellectual property in Asia and around the world. In addition, intellectual property rights and protections in Malaysia may be insufficient to protect material intellectual property rights. Further, our business is subject to the risk of third parties counterfeiting our products or infringing on our intellectual property rights. The steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. We may need to resort to litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. If we fail to protect our proprietary intellectual property and information, including with respect to any successful challenge to our ownership of intellectual property or material infringements of our intellectual property, this failure could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, or if we are accused of infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce or defend our rights. Our commercial success will depend in part on our success in obtaining and maintaining patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in Malaysia and elsewhere and protecting our proprietary technology. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, competitors may be able to use our technologies or the goodwill we have acquired in the marketplace and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have, which could harm our business and ability to achieve profitability. We cannot provide any assurances that any of our pending patent applications that mature into issued patents will include a scope sufficient to protect our products, any additional features we develop for our products or any new products. Other parties may have developed technologies that may be related or competitive to our system, may have filed or may file patent applications and may have received or may receive patents that overlap or conflict with our patent applications, either by claiming the same methods or devices or by claiming subject matter that could dominate our patent position. Our patent position may involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the scope, validity and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. Proceedings challenging our patents could result in either loss of the patent or denial of the patent application or loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of the patent or patent application. In addition, such proceedings may be costly. Thus, any patents that we may own may not provide any protection against competitors. Furthermore, an adverse decision in an interference proceeding can result in a third party receiving the patent right sought by us, which in turn could affect our ability to commercialize our products. 25 | Page Though an issued patent is presumed valid and enforceable, its issuance is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Competitors could purchase our products and attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully infringe our intellectual property rights, design around our patents, or develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. We may be unable to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, suppliers, vendors, former employees and current employees. Our ability to enforce our patent rights depends on our ability to detect infringement. It may be difficult to detect infringers who do not advertise the components that are used in their products. Moreover, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain evidence of infringement in a competitor’s or potential competitor’s product. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded if we were to prevail may not be commercially meaningful. In addition, proceedings to enforce or defend our patents could put our patents at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable or interpreted narrowly. Such proceedings could also provoke third parties to assert claims against us, including that some or all of the claims in one or more of our patents are invalid or otherwise unenforceable. If any of our patents covering our products are invalidated or found unenforceable, or if a court found that valid, enforceable patents held by third parties covered one or more of our products, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce or defend our rights. The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain, and we cannot ensure that: ● any of our pending patent applications, if issued, will include claims having a scope sufficient to protect our products; ● any of our pending patent applications will be issued as patents; ● we were the first to file patent applications for these inventions; ● others will not develop similar or alternative technologies that do not infringe our patents; any of our patents will be found to ultimately be valid and enforceable; ● any patents issued to us will provide a basis for an exclusive market for our commercially viable products, will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties; ● we will develop additional proprietary technologies or products that are separately patentable; or ● our commercial activities or products will not infringe upon the patents of others. We rely, in part, upon unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. Further, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. 26 | Page Risks Relating to Our Securities There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities. There is currently only a limited public market for our ordinary share, which is listed on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheets, and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future. 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. Our ordinary share may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our ordinary share is less than $5.00 per share and, therefore, it may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our ordinary share and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares. The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses, which could adversely impact investors in our stock. OTC Pink Sheet securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTC Pink Sheet reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ. Patterns of fraud and abuse include: ● Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; ● Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; ● “Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; ● Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and mark-ups by selling broker-dealers; and ● Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. ● Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market . We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock. We have never paid any cash dividends on our ordinary share and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our ordinary share in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock. We plan to retain any future earnings to finance growth. 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. 27 | Page General Risks Natural disasters, epidemics or other unexpected events may disrupt our operations, adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and may not be fully covered by insurance. The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, power outages or other unexpected events, including hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods and other forms of severe weather, health epidemics, pandemics (including COVID-19) or other contagious outbreaks, conflicts, wars or terrorist acts, in the U.S. or in other countries in which we or our suppliers or customers operate could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. Natural disasters, power outages or other unexpected events could damage or close one or more of our facilities or disrupt our operations temporarily or long-term, such as by causing business interruptions or by affecting the availability and/or cost of materials needed for manufacturing. We have only one factory and another assembly line that can manufacture a specific product or product line. As a result, damage to or the closure of that factory may disrupt or prevent us from manufacturing certain products. Existing insurance arrangements may not cover all of the costs or lost cash flows that may arise from such events. The occurrence of any of these events could also increase our insurance and other operating costs or harm our sales. We may be affected by global economic, capital market and political conditions, and conditions in the construction, transportation and infrastructure industries in particular. Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows may be adversely affected by changes in global economic conditions and geopolitical risks and conditions, including credit market conditions, levels of consumer and business confidence, fluctuations in residential, commercial and industrial construction activity, pandemic health issues (including COVID-19 and its effects), natural disasters, commodity prices, energy costs, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, levels of government spending and deficits, trade policies (including tariffs, boycotts and sanctions), regulatory changes, actual or anticipated default on sovereign debt and other challenges that could affect the global economy. These economic and political conditions affect our business in a number of ways. Additionally, the tightening of credit in the capital markets could adversely affect the ability of our customers, including individual end-customers and businesses, to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations, which could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services. Similarly, tightening credit may adversely affect our supply base and increase the potential for one or more of our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy. Additionally, because we have a number of factories and suppliers in foreign countries, the imposition of tariffs or sanctions or unusually restrictive border crossing rules could adversely affect our supply chain, operations and overall business. Our business and financial performance is also adversely affected by decreases in the general level of economic activity, such as decreases in business and consumer spending and construction (both residential and commercial as well as remodelling). Our business success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled and diverse management team and workforce. Failure to ensure that we have leadership with the necessary skill sets and experience could impede our ability to deliver our growth objectives, execute our strategic plan and effectively transition our leadership. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company’s principal executive office is located at 31-A2, Jalan 5/32A, 6 ½ Miles off Jalan Kepong, 52000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We also have an office located in Cambodia located at R01 of House No 62Z Street 274, Village 04, Sangkat Tonle Basak, Khan Chamkamorn, Phnom Pehnh, Cambodia and an office located in China at Shunde Western Ecological Industry Startup Zone D-08-01 (Foshan City, Shunde District, Xingtan Town, Depin Road no.1, Level 3). ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On October 8, 2021, a filing (the “Filing”) was made with the Kuala Lumpur High Court by a reseller (the “Reseller”) of the Company’s INCU ionic nano copper solution (the “Solution”) and the Reseller’s related party (together with the Reseller, the “Plaintiffs”). The Reseller was authorized by WKL Eco Earth’s sole distributor of the Solution (the “WKL Distributor”) to resell the Solution together with a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml through a tripartite agreement (the “Tripartite Agreement”) entered into between (a) the Reseller, (b) the WKL Distributor and (c) a solution packaging company (the “Packaging Company”). WKL Eco Earth was not a party to the Tripartite Agreement and did not directly authorize or engage the Reseller in the resale of the Solution. In the Filing, the Plaintiffs claimed against (i) WKL Eco Earth; (ii) Dr. Low; (iii) Chan Kok Wei, (iv) the Packaging Company and (v) two directors of the Packaging Company for loss and damages arising from an alleged breach of contract, defamation and tort of inducement. The Plaintiffs also alleged that pursuant to the Tripartite Agreement, WKL Eco Earth was prohibited from selling the Solution to any party other than the WKL Distributor, and that the Tripartite Agreement allowed for the resale of the Solution by the Plaintiffs without limitation, the Plaintiffs were not confined in their resale of the Solution to a product consisting of a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims. Besides the above, we are not a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management would have a material adverse effect on our business. However, from time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or may be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES No report required. 28 | Page PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES MARKET INFORMATION The registrant had 102,742,362 shares of our Common Stock par value, $0.001 issued and outstanding as of December 9, 2023. There were 268 record holders of our common stock. DIVIDENDS We have never paid or declared any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS We currently do not have any equity compensation plans. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Not Applicable. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our audited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Plan of Operation and Funding We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through internally generated funds and proceeds from issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. Existing working capital, proceeds from issuance of securities, further advances, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through internally generated funds, advances and proceeds from issuance of securities. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) research and development, (ii) expansion of product offerings; (iii) geographical expansion; and (iv) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain selected statement of operations data for the financial year indicated in U.S. Dollars. In addition, we note that the year-to-year comparison may not be indicative of future performance. The following summary of our operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the financial years ended August 31 (“FYE”), 2023, and 2022, which are included herein. Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 Changes % Revenue $ 388,038 $ 1,190,616 $ (802,578 ) (67 )% Cost of revenues 424,189 952,228 (528,039 ) (55 )% Gross (loss)/profit (36,151 ) 238,388 (274,539 ) (115 )% Operating expenses 6,097,019 4,856,039 1,240,980 26 % Loss from operations (6,133,170 ) (4,617,651 ) (1,515,519 ) (33 )% Other expense (184,203 ) (938,976 ) 754,773 80 % Net Loss (6,317,373 ) (5,556,627 ) (760,746 ) (14 )% Revenue Revenue for FYE 2023 was $388,038 compared to revenue in FYE 2022 of $1,190,616, a decrease of $802,578 or approximately 67%. The drop in revenue is mainly due to the decrease in sales in air purifier products as a result of rollback of preventative measures taken by businesses and public from spreading infection as the World and society progresses towards living with Covid-19. Being first mover in launching EvoAir TM , first-of-its-kind eco-friendly air-conditioner with granted patent or utility model/ patent or utility model pending HECS system proprietary system, the Group faced both opportunities and challenges. In the course of applying for some of the certifications, safety and performance testing, the relevant authorities/ organizations faced the challenges in assigning our products in the appropriate category under conventional air-conditioner regime. There are instances whereby some of these authorities/ organizations do not possess the relevant equipment to conduct testings. It took a lot of education, discussions, deliberations and working with the authorities/ organizations to work out solutions to resolve compliance and testing matters. On the positive note, one of the authorities advised us to apply under a new category, ‘Hybrid Air Conditioner. The duration of the application processes were longer than that of typical certifications and testing for conventional air-conditioners. Being a first mover, notwithstanding many of our corporate clients who were impressed and showed keen interest in our products, EvoAir TM , many of them took a few months to conduct study on their own accord on performance and the energy savings by our products. The Company is building up its traction for the evoair TM hybrid air-conditioners for both residentials and commercial/ industrial units through distribution channels, projects, building and businesses as well as private labelling and licensing model. During the financial year, we have entered into agreements with distributors, partners, customers to build up sales pipeline. 29 | Page Cost of revenue Cost of revenues was $424,189 or 109% of revenues in the FYE 2023, as compared to $952,228 or 80% of revenues in the FYE 2022. The decline in cost of revenue is in line with the drop in sales. Cost of revenues includes production costs and purchases of goods. Gross (loss)/ profit Gross loss was $36,151 for FYE 2023 or 9% of revenues compared gross profit $238,388 for FYE 2022 or 20% of revenues. The decline in gross profit margin was attributable to the drop in sales of air purifier products, of which the product range contributed higher gross profit margin. Besides, the decrease of gross profit is mainly due to the Company’s evoair TM products with higher cost of revenue from manufacturing and related costs as well as lack of economy of scale during commercialization stage. The Company anticipates improvement of income and gross profit margin with the improvement of revenue streams from distributor and dealership model, projects as well as private labeling and licensing model. Operating expenses Operating expenses totaled $6,097,019 for FYE 2023, compared to $4,856,039 in operating expenses for FYE 2022, or an increase of $1,240,980 or 26%. The operating expenses include salary and related expenses, commissions, rental, patents and trademarks application/renewal and related fee and professional and compliance fees. The increase in operating expenses were mainly due to full year amortization of intangible assets in FYE2023 as compared to 8-month amortization of intangibles in FYE 2022 as well as payment of commission for capital raising. Other expense Other expense decreased significantly mainly due to a one-time amortization of beneficial conversion feature of convertible bonds $1,005,645 in FYE 2022. Other expense in FYE2023 primarily included $205,949 realized foreign exchange loss net with $13,276 other income received from Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore for Job Growth Incentive Payout. Net loss Premised on the factors discussed above, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,317,373 for FYE 2023, compared to a net loss of $5,556,627 for FYE 2022. The continuous net loss is attributable to the Group’s focused effort in building up the traction and sales pipeline, applying necessary certifications, testings, patents and trademark and creating resources to meet the business expansion needs of the Group’s as well as lack of economies of scale. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working Capital Year Ended August 31, 2023 2022 Changes % Current assets $ 2,071,164 $ 1,688,926 $ 382,238 23 % Current liabilities 964,642 892,004 72,638 8 % Working capital 1,106,522 796,922 309,600 39 % As of August 31, 2023, our company’s current liabilities stood at $964,642, which included accounts payable and accruals of $170,888, other payables of $27,487, deferred revenue $440,069, current portion hire purchase creditor $9,224, amount due to shareholders $232,095, and current portion operating lease liabilities of $84,879. The increased in current liabilities was mainly attributable to amount due to shareholders. 30 | Page As of August 31, 2023, the Company recorded a positive working capital of $1,106,522 compared with the positive working capital of $796,922 as of August 31, 2022. The increase in working capital was mainly attributable to the increase in cash from issuance of common stock pursuant to capital raising activities.

Cash used in operating activities for FYE 2023, was $1,674,395. The change was primarily due to an increase in net loss offset with an increase in amortization of intangible assets. Cash used in investing activities arose from purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to $14,189 for FYE 2023. During the FYE 2023, cash generated from financing activities resulted from proceeds from issuance of common stock amounting to $1,068,728, payments of hire purchase amounting to $8,587, proceeds from shares to be issued amounting to $1,066,052, and proceeds from capital contribution amounting to $266,517. Seasonality The Company’s business is not subject to seasonality. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. Critical Accounting Policies Revenue recognition Our revenue recognition policy is in compliance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers whereby revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. We apply the following five-step model to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods and services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. 31 | Page We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, we review the contract to determine which performance obligations we must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, our performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sale. For all reporting periods, we have not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product revenue contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules. Estimates and Assumptions In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities, and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates in FYE 2023 and 2022 include the assumptions used to value tax liabilities, derivative financial instruments, estimates of the allowance for deferred tax assets, accounts receivable allowance, impairment of long-lived assets and inventory write-offs. Going Concern The Company’s financial statements as of August 31, 2023, is prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established a sustainable ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As of August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,523,266 and $7,465,373 respectively. The Company incurred net loss of $6,057,893 and $5,231,877 for the years ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, respectively. The cash used in operating activities were $1, 674 , 395 and $1,540,167 for FYE 2023 and 2022, respectively. It was brought to the attention of the Management to assess going concern considering all facts and circumstances about the foreseeable future of the Company as well as its assets and liabilities on the basis that it will be able to realize and discharge them in the normal course of business. With the injection of a HVAC business into the Company (“HVAC Business”) pursuant to the Transactions (defined in Part I, Item I of this Form 10K ), the Management believes that the actions to be taken by the Management to further implement the business plans for the HVAC Business including expansion in product offerings, geographical expansion, generate revenue through expansion of revenue streams and customer base (retail, commercial, industrial, projects as well as private label and licensing clientele), improvement of profitability by achieving economies of scale provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company is also working on raising additional funding to finance the operations as well as business expansion. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Material Commitments We have no material commitments as of August 31, 2023. 32 | Page Recent Accounting Pronouncements Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds the CECL impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on its allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date of December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of EvoAir Holdings Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EvoAir Holdings Inc.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going concern uncertainty The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,523,266. The Company incurred net loss of $6,057,893 for year ended August 31, 2023. The cash used in operating activities were $1,674,395 for the year ended August 31, 2023. The Company has accumulated loss since inception which raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Audit Alliance LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

Details of the Company’s subsidiaries: SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Subsidiaries of EVOH Attributable interest EvoAir International Limited (British Virgin Islands) 100 % Subsidiary of EvoAir International Limited WKL Eco Earth Holdings Pte Ltd (Singapore) 100 % Subsidiaries of WKL Eco Earth Holdings Pte Ltd WKL Eco Earth Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) 100 % WKL Green Energy Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) 100 % EvoAir Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) 67.5 % WKL EcoEarth Indochina Co Ltd (Cambodia) 55 % WKL Guanzhe Green Technology Guangzhou Co Ltd (China) 55 % Subsidiary of EvoAir Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd Evo Air Marketing (M) Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) 100 % NOTE 2 – CHANGE OF CONTROL Pursuant to the terms of a share transfer agreement dated December 20, 2021, Dr. Low, the then sole executive officer and director of the Company and the owner of 2,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s ordinary shares representing approximately 67.34 % of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares, sold his entire shareholding of the Company to WKL Global for an aggregate consideration of $ 100 . Upon completion of the Change of Control Transaction, WKL Global then owned 2,000,000 shares, or approximately 67.34 % of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares, which resulted in a change of control of the Company. 41 | Page NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN The Company’s financial statements as of August 31, 2023, is prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established a sustainable ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As of August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 13,523,266 and $ 7,465,373 respectively. The Company incurred net loss of $ 6,057,893 and $ 5,231,877 for the years ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, respectively. The cash used in operating activities were $ 1,674,395 and $ 1,540,167 for FYE 2023 and 2022, respectively. It was brought to the attention of the Management to assess going concern considering all facts and circumstances about the foreseeable future of the Company as well as its assets and liabilities on the basis that it will be able to realize and discharge them in the normal course of business. With the injection of HVAC business into the Company (“HVAC Business”) pursuant to the Transactions (defined in Note 1 ), the Management believes that the actions to be taken by the Management to further implement the business plans for the HVAC Business including expansion in product offerings, geographical expansion, generate revenue through expansion of revenue streams and customer base (retail, commercial, industrial, projects as well as private label and licensing clientele), improvement of profitability by achieving economies of scale provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company is also working on raising additional funding to finance the operations as well as business expansion. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Group in accordance with U.S. GAAP for financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EvoAir International, WKL Eco Earth Holdings, WKL Eco Earth, WKL Green Energy, and its 67.5 % owned EvoAir Manufacturing which included a 100 % owned subsidiary Evo Air Marketing, 55 % owned WKL EcoEarth Indochina, and its 55 % owned WKL Guanzhe as part of the Transactions pursuant to Note 1. As WKL Eco Earth and WKL Green Energy were under common control at the time of the Transactions, it is required under U.S. GAAP to account for this common control acquisition in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, EVOH’s consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, reflect WKL Eco Earth and WKL Green Energy on a historical carryover basis in the assets and liabilities instead of reflecting the fair market value of the assets and liabilities. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly all financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the stockholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as an allocation of the total loss for the year between non-controlling interest holders and the stockholders of the Company. 42 | Page Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts and product returns, provisions for obsolete inventory, valuation of long-lived assets and Rights of Use (“ROU”) assets (including lease liabilities), and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Fiscal Year End The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with the fiscal year ending on August 31. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. WKL Guanzhe business is primarily conducted in China and substantially all of revenue are denominated in RMB. The government of People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of RMB into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. Comprehensive Gain or Loss ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, the Company established that there are items that represented components of comprehensive income and, therefore, has included a statement of comprehensive income in the financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of Chinese operations is Chinese Renminbi, (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Company’s Singapore operations is Singapore dollars (“SGD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Malaysia operations is Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”). Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States Dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustment is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. An account receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. 43 | Page As of August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, our accounts receivable amounted to $ 44,130 and $ 85,960 , respectively, with no allowance for doubtful accounts for both periods. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of finished goods, raw materials, and work-in-process (“WIP”) from WKL Eco Earth, WKL EcoEarth Indochina, WKL Guanzhe, and EvoAir Manufacturing. We value inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the costs of inventory using the standard cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. All other costs, including administrative costs, are expensed as incurred. Deposit, prepayments, and other receivables Deposit, prepayments and other receivables are comprised of prepayments paid to vendors to initiate orders and prepaid services fees and are classified as current assets if such amounts are to be recognized within one year from the balance sheet date. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related capitalized assets. Property and equipment are depreciated over 5 to 10 years . SUMMARY OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF ASSETS Useful lives Plant and machineries 5 years Office equipment 5 years Vehicles 5 years Furniture and equipment 10 years Renovation 10 years Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations. Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks related to assignments of intellectual properties by Dr. Low into WKL Eco Earth Holdings under the IP Assignments as contemplated in Note 1. The intangible assets are recorded at fair market value and are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated life of 20 years for both patents and trademarks. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value. 44 | Page Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company does not disaggregate its revenue streams as the economic factors underlying the contracts are similar and provide no significant distinction. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Deferred Revenue The Company collects deposits from customers in advance for some business contracts. The customer payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The deferred revenue of $ 513,072 recorded as of August 31, 2022, with $ 110,134 recognized as revenue during year ended August 31, 2023. The Company recognized $ 440,069 deferred revenue as of August 31, 2023, with $ 56,806 recognized as revenue as of the report date. Leases We have entered into operating agreements primarily for office and factory. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For all classes of underlying assets, we elect not to recognize right of use assets or lease liabilities when a lease has a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included on our consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2023. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in the economic environments where the leased asset is located. Operating lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. We combine fixed payments for non-lease components with our lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component, which increases the amount of our lease assets and liabilities. Income Taxes The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. 45 | Page The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of Fair Value The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of August 31, 2023, the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on its allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date of December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. 46 | Page NOTE 5 INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: SUMMARY OF INVENTORIES August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Finished goods $ 329,420 $ 385,102 Raw materials and supplies 138,869 162,820 Work in progress 162,189 71,074 Total inventory on hand $ 630,478 $ 618,996 NOTE 6 DEPOSIT, PREPAYMENTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Deposit, prepayments, and other receivables consists of the following: SCHEDULE OF DEPOSIT PREPAYMENTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Deposits and Prepayment 20,777 61,270 Other receivables (Advances to suppliers) 596,730 770,396 Total 617,507 831,666 NOTE 7 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET Property, plant, and equipment consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Plant and machineries $ 476,219 $ 464,019 Office equipment 55,848 55,587 Vehicles 77,497 71,860 Furniture and equipment 22,285 26,577 Renovation 113,305 134,309 Property plant and equipment gross 745,154 752,352 Less: Accumulated depreciation ( 281,767 ) ( 149,597 ) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 463,387 $ 602,755 Depreciation expense for the year ended August 31, 2022, was $ 95,158 .

NOTE 12 INCOME TAXES The Company’s operating subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law, which is concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws (“the Income Tax Laws”). We are routinely undergoing examinations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The Company has operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, BVI, and China that are subject to taxes in the jurisdictions in which they operate, as follows: Singapore WKL Eco Earth Holdings is incorporated in Singapore, and under the current tax laws of Singapore, its standard corporate income tax rate is 17 %. Malaysia WKL Eco Earth, WKL Green Energy and Evoair Manufacturing (including its 100 % subsidiary Evo Air Marketing) are incorporated in Malaysia and are subject to common corporate income tax rate at 24 %. Cambodia WKL EcoEarth Indochina is incorporated in Cambodia, and under the current tax laws of Cambodia, its standard corporate tax rate is 20 %. BVI EvoAir International is incorporated in BVI, and a BVI Business Company is exempt from the BVI income tax. 49 | Page China WKL Guanzhe is incorporated in China. Under the current tax law in the PRC, WKL Guanzhe is subject to the enterprise income tax rate of 25 %. Due to the Company’s net loss position, there was no provision for income taxes recorded. As a result of the Company’s losses to date, there exists doubt as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been recorded. Reconciliation between the statutory tax rate to income before income taxes and the actual provision for income taxes is as follows: SCHEDULE OF RECONCILIATION BETWEEN THE STATUTORY TAX RATE AND THE ACTUAL PROVISION Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2023 2022 US Statutory rate 21 % 21 % Effect of reconciling items for tax purposes ( 21 )% ( 21 )% Effective income tax rate - % - % The components of net deferred tax assets are as follows: SCHEDULE OF COMPONENTS ON NET DEFERRED TAX ASSET August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Net operating loss carry-forward $ 13,520,000 $ 7,470,000 Less: valuation allowance ( 13,520,000 ) ( 7,470,000 ) Net deferred tax asset - - The Company had net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes of approximately $ 13,520,000 at August 31, 2023, and approximately $ 7,470,000 at August 31, 2022, which may be available to offset future taxable income. Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carry forwards before utilization. NOTE 13 ROU ASSET AND LEASES A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identifiable tangible property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On February 28, 2022, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 which primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee including the Company’s leases of office and factory. The Company elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases with initial lease terms of twelve months or less (deemed immaterial) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on the effective interest, the effective amortization on the lease liability. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases as of August 31, 2023, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated incremental borrowing rate of 10 %. On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement to its Cambodia office lease at #65, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Floor, Street 123, Sangkat Toul Tumpong I, Khan Chamkarman, Phnom Penh, Cambodia (the “Lease Termination”). The Lease Termination terminated the Company’s rights and obligations with respect to the leased premises on April 15, 2023. As such, the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were remeasured and the Company recorded a gain of $ 14,890 as a component of operating expenses for the year ended August 31, 2023. No impairment of the ROU assets was deemed to have occurred. 50 | Page The following is a summary of ROU asset and operating lease liabilities: SUMMARY OF ROU ASSET AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Assets: ROU asset $ 271,021 $ 442,020 Liabilities: Current: Operating lease liabilities , current $ 84,879 $ 117,686 Non-current Operating lease liabilities , noncurrent 198,163 355,186 Total lease liabilities $ 283,042 $ 472,872 As of August 31, 2023, remaining maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: SCHEDULE OF MATURITIES OF LEASE LIABILITIES Operating lease 2024 $ 84,880 2025 95,314 2026 75,035 2027 27,813 2028 and thereafter - Total $ 283,042 NOTE 14 CONCENTRATIONS Revenues For the years ended August 31, 2023, and 2022, the following customers comprised more than 10% of total sales: SCHEDULE OF CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS For the years August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Customer #1 18 % - * Customer #2 - * 27 % Customer #3 - 13 % * Accounted for less than 10% for the year. 51 | Page Accounts receivable As of the years ended August 31, 2023, and 2022, the following customers comprised more than 10% of total accounts receivable: SCHEDULE OF CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS For the year ended August 31, 2023 August 31, 2022 Customer #1 11 % * Customer #2 10 % - * Customer #3 - * 12 % Customer #4 - 14 % Customer #5 - 19 % * Accounted for less than 10% for the year end.

NOTE 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and Claims On October 8, 2021, a filing (the “Filing”) was made with the Kuala Lumpur High Court by a reseller (the “Reseller”) of the Company’s INCU ionic nano copper solution (the “Solution”) and the Reseller’s related party (together with the Reseller, the “Plaintiffs”). The Reseller was authorized by WKL Eco Earth’s sole distributor of the Solution (the “WKL Distributor”) to resell the Solution together with a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml through a tripartite agreement (the “Tripartite Agreement”) entered into between (a) the Reseller, (b) the WKL Distributor and (c) a solution packaging company (the “Packaging Company”). WKL Eco Earth was not a party to the Tripartite Agreement and did not directly authorize or engage the Reseller in the resale of the Solution. In the Filing, the Plaintiffs claimed against (i) WKL Eco Earth; (ii) Dr. Low; (iii) Chan Kok Wei, (iv) the Packaging Company and (v) two directors of the Packaging Company for loss and damages arising from an alleged breach of contract, defamation and tort of inducement. The Plaintiffs also alleged that pursuant to the Tripartite Agreement, WKL Eco Earth was prohibited from selling the Solution to any party other than the WKL Distributor and allow for the resale of the Solution by the Plaintiffs without limitation, and that the Plaintiffs were not confined in their resale of the Solution to a diffuser with a capacity of not more than 1000ml. The Company believes the claims are without merit and will defend itself against the claims. The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. The outcome of the above case very much depends on the evidence produced and the weight of the Court places on the evidence. As it stands, WKL has a probability of success in its Counterclaim against the parties. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 52 | Page NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to August 31, 2023, to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these consolidated financial statements, except as follow: On September 7, 2023, the Company entered into Regulation S share subscription agreements with 71 investors, each of whom represented that it was a “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2023. Based on our management’s evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at August 31, 2023: ● Due to our limited resources, we do not have enough accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in our financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP. ● The Company has insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, which led to inadequate financial statement closing process. ● The Company has a lack of segregation of duties, a lack of audit committee or independent governance/oversight. Our management also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year August 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
