CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements largely
on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends impacting the financial condition of our business.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications
of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available
at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested
by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms
such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,”
“intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“project,” “predict,” “potential,” “might,” “forecast,” “continue,”
or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions and comparable terminology intended to reference future periods. Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
●
Our
ability to effectively operate our business segments;
●
Our
ability to manage our research, development, expansion, growth and operating expenses;
●
Our
ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics;
●
Our
ability to compete, directly and indirectly, and succeed in our highly competitive industry;
●
Our
ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior; and
●
Our
ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.
Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ
significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Factors
or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of
them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Accordingly, the forward-looking statements
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements
will occur or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness
of any of these forward-looking statements.

TREASURE GLOBAL INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 – Nature of business and organization
Treasure
Global Inc. (“TGL” or the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated on March 20, 2020, under the laws
of the State of Delaware. The Company has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding shares of ZCity Sdn. Bhd.
(“ZCITY”), (formerly known as Gem Reward Sdn. Bhd, underwent a name change on July 20, 2023). ZCITY was originally established
under the laws of the Malaysia on June 6, 2017, through a reverse recapitalization.
On
March 11, 2021, TGL completed a reverse recapitalization (“Reorganization”) under common control of its then existing stockholders,
who collectively owned all of the equity interests of ZCITY prior to the Reorganization through a Share Swap Agreement. ZCITY is under
common control of the same stockholders of TGL through a beneficial ownership agreement, which results in the consolidation of ZCITY
and has been accounted for as a Reorganization of entities under common control at carrying value. Before and after the Reorganization,
the Company, together with its subsidiaries is effectively controlled by the same stockholders, and therefore the Reorganization is considered
as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25.
The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the
aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.
The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, ZCITY, engages in the payment processing industry and operate an online-to-offline (“O2O”)
e-commerce platform known as “ZCITY”. The Company has extensive business interests in creating an innovative O2O e-commerce
platform with an instant rebate and affiliate cashback program business model, focusing on providing a seamless payment solution and
capitalizing on big data using artificial intelligence technology. The Company’s proprietary product is an internet application
(or “app”) called “ZCITY App”. ZCITY App drives user app download and transactions by providing instant
rebate and cashback. The Company aims to transform and simplify a user’s e-payment gateway experience by providing great deals,
rewards and promotions with every use in an effort to make it Malaysia’s top reward and payment gateway platform.
On
April 12, 2023, the Company entered into a share sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with Damanhuri Bin Hussien (“DBH”),
an unrelated party. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase 10,000 units of ordinary shares, representing a 100 % equity
interest in Foodlink Global Sdn. Bhd. (“Foodlink”), along with its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Morgan Global Sdn. Bhd
(“Morgan”) and AY Food Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (“AY Food”), for a consideration of approximately $ 3,000 from DBH.
Foodlink,
Morgan, and AY Food are engaged in the operation of sub-licensing restaurant branding and the selling and trading of food and beverage
products. Since Foodlink, Morgan, and AY Food are blank check companies that were incorporated in January 2023 without any operating
history prior to the acquisition, the acquisition of these entities is immaterial to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Note
2 – Summary of significant accounting policies
Going
concern
In
assessing the Company’s liquidity and the significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors
and analyzes cash on hand and operating expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet working capital requirements
and operating expense obligations. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through cash flows from contributions from
stockholders, issuance of convertible notes from third parties and related parties, related party loans, its initial underwritten public
offering (the “Offering”), and its underwritten public offering (the “November 2023 Offering”).
The
Company’s management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to:
(1) recurring loss from operations of approximately $ 4.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024; (2) accumulated deficit of
approximately $ 36.5 million as of March 31, 2024; and (3) net operating cash outflow of approximately $ 4.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2024.
On
August 15, 2022, the Company closed its Offering of 32,857 ( 2,300,000 pre reverse split) shares of common stock, par value $ 0.00001 per
share, at $ 280 ($ 4.00 pre reverse split) per share. The Company received aggregate net proceeds from the closing of approximately $ 8.2
million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, fees, and other estimated offering expenses.
From
February 2023 to June 2023, the Company issued two convertible notes to a third party, in an aggregate principal amount of $ 5,500,000 .
Upon completion of these transactions, the Company received $ 5,060,000 in net proceeds from this third party, net of debt discount. The
convertible notes accrue or will accrue interest expense at 4 % per annum and have a 12-month term.
6
On
November 30, 2023, the Company closed its November 2023 Offering of (i) 371,628 ( 26,014,000 pre reverse split) shares of common stock,
par value $ 0.00001 per share, at a public offering price of $ 0.10 per share of Common Stock and (ii) 14,000,000 pre-funded warrants (the
“Pre-Funded Warrants”), each with the right to purchase 0.01 (one share pre reverse split) of Common Stock, at a public offering
price of $ 0.0999 per Pre-Funded Warrants. Upon closing of the November 2023 Offering, the Company received an aggregate net proceed of
approximately $ 3.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, and non-accountable expense.
Despite
receiving the net proceeds from its Offering, November 2023 Offering, and the issuance of convertible notes, the Company’s management
is of the opinion that it will not have sufficient funds to meet the Company’s working capital requirements and debt obligations
as they become due starting from one year from the date of this report due to the recurring loss. Therefore, management has determined
that there is a significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate significant
revenue, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the
following sources:
●
Equity
financing to support its working capital;
●
Other
available sources of financing (including debt) from Malaysian banks and other financial institutions; and
●
Financial
support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s related parties.
There,
however, is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated.
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and
pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed financial information
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2023.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s
unaudited financial position as of March 31, 2024, its unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2024 and 2023, and its unaudited cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The unaudited
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Principles
of consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses of the subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Subsidiary
is entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of
votes at the meeting of directors.
Enterprise
wide disclosure
The
Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM), which include the Chief Executive Officer and their direct reports, review financial
information presented on a consolidated basis. This information is accompanied by a breakdown of revenues from different revenue streams,
facilitating resource allocation and financial performance evaluation. The reporting of operating segments aligns with the internal reports
provided to the CODM, a group composed of specific members of the Company’s management team.
As
of March 31, 2024, the Company had two operating segments: (1) revenue generated from the ZCITY platform and (2) revenue from food and
beverage products, along with sublicensing revenue. However, upon assessing both the qualitative and quantitative criteria outlined in
ASC 280, ’Segment Reporting,’ it was determined that the operating segments related to food and beverage product revenue
and sublicensing revenue did not meet the quantitative criteria. Consequently, the Company considers itself to be operating within a
single reportable segment.
7
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the estimated retail price per point and estimated breakage to calculate the revenue recognized in our loyalty program revenue, useful
lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit loss, write-down for estimated obsolescence or
unmarketable inventories, realization of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position, fair value of our stock price to determine the
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) within the convertible note, fair value of the stock-based compensation, fair value
of the marketable securities, and fair value of the warrants issued. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign
currency translation and transaction
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. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated
into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded
in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The reporting currency of the Company
is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed
in US$. The Company’s subsidiaries in Malaysia conducts their businesses and maintains their books and record in the local currency,
Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR” or “RM”), as its functional currency. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets
and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30,
“Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated
at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries
are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of changes in stockholders’ deficiency. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore,
amounts reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding
balances on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Translation
of foreign currencies into US$1 have been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As of
March 31,

Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
is carried at cost and represent cash on hand, time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of funds received from customer, which funds
were held at the third-party platform’s fund account, and which are unrestricted and immediately available for withdrawal and use.
Accounts
receivable, net
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest. The Company
provides various payment terms from cash due on delivery to 90 days based on customer’s credibility. Accounts receivable include
money due from sales of health care product on its ZCITY platform as well as sublicensing revenue, and sales of food and beverage products.
Starting from July 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”). The Company used a modified retrospective approach, and
the adoption does not have an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of accounts receivable
is reduced by an allowance for credit losses that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.
An allowance for credit losses is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating
collection is unlikely, historical bad debt rates, accounts aging, financial conditions of the customer and industry trends. Management
also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make
adjustments in the allowance for credit losses when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance
for credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s
management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of March 31, 2024
and June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $ 152,831 and $ 214 of allowance for credit loss, respectively.
For
the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company record $ 153,985 and $0 additional allowance for credit loss against accounts
receivable, respectively.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company record $ 101,860 and $0 additional allowance for credit loss against accounts
receivable, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a first in first out method. Costs include gift card
or “E-voucher” pin code which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods or store credit. Costs
also included health care products, foods and beverage products which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized
goods. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing
down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down
for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated
net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of
cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. For the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0 and $ 484 write-down for inventories. For the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2023, the Company did not record any write-down for inventories.
Other
receivables and other current assets
Other
receivables and other current assets primarily include prepayment made by the Company to third parties for cyber security service, director
& officer liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), other professional fee. Other receivables and other current assets
also include refundable advance to third party service provider, and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables
and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered
uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, no allowance
for doubtful account was recorded.
9
Prepayments
Prepayments
and deposits are mainly cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases. This amount is refundable and bears no
interest. For any prepayments determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories, services, or refundable,
the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its prepayments on a regular basis to determine
if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance
for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management
continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of March 31, 2024 and June
30, 2023, no allowance for doubtful account was recorded.
Property
and equipment, net
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets with no residual value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Expected
useful lives
Computer and office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 5 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
Leasehold improvement
3 years
The
cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets,
are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant
revised estimates of useful lives.
Intangible
assets, net
The
Company’s acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives only consist of internal used software. The Company amortizes its
intangible assets with definite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company typically
amortizes its internal use software with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or
the estimated economic lives, which is determined to be approximately one to five years .
Impairment
for long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets, including property and equipment with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such
as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value
of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows
the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset.
If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted
cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, no impairment
of long-lived assets was recognized.
10
Investment
in marketable securities
The
Company follows the provisions of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement
of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . Investments in marketable equity securities (non-current) are reported at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss in the caption of “unrealized holding loss on marketable securities” in each reporting period.
Customer
deposits
Customer
deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on service order. Customer deposits are reduced when the related sale is recognized
in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Additionally, customer deposits also include unamortized member subscription
revenue.
Convertible
notes
The
Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives.
The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each reporting period
and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the
statements of operations as other income or expense.
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other
embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments
are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
If
the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount
pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded
net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense, over the life of the debt.
Upon
conversion, the carrying amount of the convertible note, net of the unamortized discount shall be reduced by, if any, the cash (or other
assets) transferred and then shall be recognized in the capital accounts to reflect the shares issued and no gain or loss is recognized
pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20-40-4.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives
and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant
to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for
equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether
the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control,
among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the
time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of equity at the time of issuance. As the Company’s warrants meet all of the criteria for equity classification, so the Company
classified each warrant as its own equity.
11
Revenue
recognition
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) for all
periods presented. The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize - revenue that represents
the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled
in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should
be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.
To
achieve that core principle, the Company applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires
that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine
the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not
occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when
(or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The
Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment
terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of substantially collection.
Revenue
recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:
Product
revenue
-
Performance
obligations satisfied at a point in time
The
Company primarily sells discounted gift cards (or E-vouchers) from retailers, health care products and computer products through individual
order directly through the Company’s online marketplace platform and its mobile application (“ZCITY”). In addition,
the Company through its subsidiaries, Morgan and AY Food, engages in sales of food and beverage products. When the Company is acting
as a principal in the transaction, the Company accounts for the revenue generated from its sales of E-vouchers, health care products,
computer products, and food and beverage product on a gross basis as the Company is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide
the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially
all the benefits. In making this determination, the Company assesses whether it is primarily obligated in these transactions, is subject
to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, or has met several but not all of these indicators in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36
through 40. The Company determined that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good as the Company
directly purchases and pays for in full the applicable E-voucher, health care products and computer products from the vendors prior to
posting of such products for sale on its online marketplace platform and prior to taking any orders for sales of such products. Meanwhile,
the Company maintained an average daily inventory of approximately $ 274,198 to support an average 3.7 days of sales during the nine months
ended March 31, 2024, which demonstrate the Company had control over the products prior to selling it to the customers as the ownership
of the products did not transfer momentarily to the customer after the Company purchased the products from vendors. In addition,
the Company cannot return the products to the vendors due to lack of sales which demonstrated that the Company is subject to inventory
risk, and it has discretion in establishing the price of the products which has demonstrated that the Company has the ability to direct
the use of that good or service and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits.
In
certain instances, the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and is engaging in drop shipping arrangements for health care,
food, and beverage products, where the products were shipped directly from the vendors to the customers. In these drop shipping transactions,
the Company was not primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to deliver the products to the customers, and as a result, did not
exercise control over the goods or assume any inventory risks. Therefore, the Company determined that revenue from sales of products
under the drop shipping arrangements were recognized on a net basis.
The
Company recognizes the sales of E-vouchers, health care products, computer products, and food and beverage products revenue when the
control of the specified goods is transferred to its customer. No refund or return policy is provided to the customer. For the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2024, $ 48,576 and $ 381,701 of product revenues are related to non-spending related activities with the
same amount recorded as selling expenses, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, $ 458,219 and 1,506,795 of
product revenues are related to non-spending related activities with the same amount recorded as selling expenses, respectively.

Loyalty
program
-
Performance
obligations satisfied at a point in time
The
Company’s ZCITY reward loyalty program allows members to earn points on purchases that can be redeemed for rewards that
include discounts on future purchases. When members purchase the Company’s product or make purchase with the Company’s participated
vendor through ZCITY, the Company allocate the transaction price between the product and service, and the reward points earned based
on the relative stand-alone selling prices and expected point redemption. The portion allocated to the reward points is initially recorded
as contract liability and subsequently recognized as revenue upon redemption or expiration.
The
two primary estimates utilized to record the contract liabilities for reward points earned by members are the estimated retail price
per point and estimated breakage. The estimated retail price per point is based on the actual historical retail prices of product purchased
or service obtained through the redemption of reward points. The Company estimate breakage of reward points based on historical redemption
rates. The Company continually evaluates its methodology and assumptions based on developments in retail price per point redeemed, redemption
patterns and other factors. Changes in the retail price per point and redemption rates have the effect of either increasing or decreasing
the contract liabilities through current period revenue by an amount estimated to represent the retail value of all points previously
earned but not yet redeemed by loyalty program members as of the end of the reporting period.
Transactions
revenue
-
Performance
obligations satisfied at a point in time
The
transactions revenues primarily consist of fees charged to merchants for participating in ZCITY upon successful sales transaction
and payment service taken place between the merchants and their customers online.
The
Company earns transaction revenue from merchants when transactions are completed on certain retail marketplaces. Such revenue is
generally determined as a percentage based on the value of merchandise or services being sold by the merchants. In connection with
the transaction revenue, the Company offers to share the profit of the transaction (“agent commission”) to the agents
who has referred merchants to participating in Company’s online marketplace platform and in ZCITY. Transaction revenue is
recognized, net of agent commission, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations at the time when the
underlying transaction is completed.
Member

obligations satisfied over time
In
order to attract more customer to engage with the Company’s online marketplace and in ZCITY, the Company provides membership
subscription to the customers to join the Zmember program, a membership program that provides member with benefits which included
exclusive saving, bonus, and referral rewards. Member subscription revenue primarily consists of fees charge to customers who sign
up for Zmember. As the Company provides customers with 6 months member subscription service in general, member subscription revenue is
recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operation over the time across the subscription period.

Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Morgan and AY Food, generates revenue by sublicensing the right to use the
Licensor’s Trademark to its customers. Since the sublicense fee is charged to customers on a monthly basis throughout the
contractual period, the Company recognizes sublicense revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations over the duration of the contract. Furthermore, the
Company establishes itself as the principal in these arrangements, as it possesses the latitude to establish pricing and assumes the
inventory risk associated with fulfilling the minimum payment obligations to the Trademark’s licensor regardless of the number
of sublicensees engaged by the Company during the license period.

Defined
contribution plan
The
full-time employees of the Company are entitled to the government mandated defined contribution plan. The Company is required to accrue
and pay for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in
accordance with the relevant government regulations, and make cash contributions to the government mandated defined contribution plan.
Total expenses for the plans were $ 54,921 and $ 192,152 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Total
expenses for the plans were $ 82,330 and $ 190,176 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.
The
related contribution plans include:
● Social Security Organization (“SOSCO”) – 1.75 % based on employee’s monthly salary capped of RM 4,000 ;
● Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”) – 12 % based on employee’s monthly salary;
● Employment Insurance System (“EIS”) – 0.2 % based on employee’s monthly salary capped of RM 4,000 ;
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for
the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred
taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis
used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized,
or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited
or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An
uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained
in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that
is greater than 50 % likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test,
no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax for the nine months ended March
31, 2024 and 2023.
The
Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.
The
Company conducts much of its business activities in Malaysia and is subject to tax in its jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities,
the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to third party consultant and former director
as an expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value
for each stock-based award. The fair value of stock-based awards granted are estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model while the fair value of each common stock granted are estimated using the Company’s closing stock price on
the grant date. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.
The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of the common stock of the
Company, expected life of stock options, the expected volatility and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions
reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the
control of the Company.
As
a result, if other assumptions had been used, stock-based compensation expense, as determined in accordance with authoritative guidance,
could have been materially impacted. Furthermore, if the Company uses different assumptions on future grants, stock-based compensation
expense could be materially affected in future periods.
15
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss consists of two components,
net loss and other comprehensive loss. Net loss refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element
of stockholders’ deficiency. Other comprehensive loss is excluded from net loss. Other comprehensive loss consists of a foreign
currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.
Loss per share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share
(“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted
EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net loss divided by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the
dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they
had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common stock that have an anti-dilutive
effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS For the
nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 100,000 contingent shares to be issued to the underwriters are excluded in the diluted
EPS calculation due to its anti-diluted effect, respectively.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value
measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and
considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The following summarizes the three levels
of inputs required to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs
that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that
are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair
value for certain assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other receivables and other
current assets, prepayments, accounts payable, customers deposits, contract liabilities, other payables and accrued liabilities have been
determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that its related
party loan, insurance loan, and convertible notes approximates fair value based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms.
Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual,
are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject
to common control or common significant influence.
16
Lease
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU
2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any
expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct
costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy
election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities.
If any of the following criteria are met, the Company classifies the
lease as a finance lease:
●
The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
●
The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise;
●
The lease term is for 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25% of the economic life of the underlying asset;
●
The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset; or
●
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.
Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria
are accounted for as operating leases.
The Company combines lease and non-lease components
in its contracts under Topic 842, when permissible.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
asset and lease liability are recognized at the adoption date of July 1, 2022 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on
the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable,
the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present
value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized
basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value
of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable
certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating
lease ROU asset to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore
operating lease ROU asset and liability do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not
provide a residual guarantee.
The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease
incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating lease.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU
asset consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets
when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment
of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax
cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liability in any tested
asset group and includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize impairment loss on its operating lease ROU asset.

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact
of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under
the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging
growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the
adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which
is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured
at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting
for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized
cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The
amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option
for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase
comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets.
Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13
while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which
to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies
applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2022. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2023 as the Company
is qualified as an emerging growth company. The Company has adopted of this standard on July 1, 2023, the adoption did not have a material
impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,
“Debt – Debt Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. The amendment in this Update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated
with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and
equity. For convertible instruments, the Board decided to reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and
convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized
from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those
with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative,
and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial
premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities
that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies
as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For
all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal
year. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2024 as the Company is qualified as an emerging
growth company. The Company believes the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
18
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06,
Disclosure Improvements — codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which
amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections— Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share— Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting— Overall, 440-10
Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30
Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities— Oil and Gas—Notes to Financial
Statements, 946-20 Financial Services— Investment Companies— Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate—Real
Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements
of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures
with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the
Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide
financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the
date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities,
the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of the update on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which is an update to Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in this Update improve
financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities
to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in this update: (1) require that a public entity
disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker
(CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense
principle”), (2) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable
segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment
expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (3) Require that a public
entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in
interim periods, and (4) Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit.
However, at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should
be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entity’s
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In other words, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with the measurement
principles under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a public entity is not precluded from reporting additional measures
of a segment’s profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources,
(5) Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s)
of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (6) Require that a public entity
that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures
in Topic 280. The amendments in this Update also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those
operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in this Update are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early
adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the
financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the
significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of the update on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
19
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid
disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information
in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in
their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational
opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The other amendments in this Update improve the effectiveness
and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent
with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial
Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business
entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public
business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for
annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied
on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update on Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not
believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

Note 15 – Concentrations of risks
(a) Major
customers
For the three and nine months ended March 31,
2024 and 2023, no customer accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s total revenues.
As of March 31, 2024, four customers account for
approximately 18.2 %, 16.9 %, 16.1 %, and 10.7 % of the total balance of accounts receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, two customers
account for approximately 24.6 % and 24.6 % of the total balance of accounts receivable, respectively.
36
(b) Major
vendors
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, three
vendors accounted for approximately 63.1 %, 15.4 %, and 14.2 % of the Company’s total purchases. For the three months ended March 31,
2023, two vendors accounted for approximately 59.4 % and 35.5 % of the Company’s total purchases.
For the
nine months ended March 31, 2024, two vendors accounted for approximately 51.7 % and 35.1 % of the Company’s total
purchases. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, two vendors accounted for approximately 56.7 % and 38.5 % of the Company’s
total purchases.

for approximately 57.6 %, and 13.0 % of the total balance of accounts payable. As of June 30, 2023, one vendor accounted for 91.0 %
of the total balance of accounts payable.
(c)
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, $ 306,532 and
$ 4,593,634 were deposited with financial institutions or fund received from customer being held in third party platform’s fund
account, and $ 96,662 and $ 2,458,638 of these balances are not covered by deposit insurance, respectively. While management believes
that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.
Financial instruments that are potentially subject
to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable
is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally
require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an provision for estimated credit losses based upon factors surrounding
the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d)
Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current
exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable
periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of RM converted to
US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.
Note 16 – Leases
The Company determines if a contract contains
a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for
financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation
includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option
periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic
penalty. The Company’s office lease was classified as operating leases. The lease generally do not contain options to extend at
the time of expiration.
Upon adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02 on July 1, 2022,
the Company recognized $ 84,829 ROU asset and same amount of operating lease liability based on the present value of the future minimum
rental payments of leases, using a discount rate of 3.5 % based on duration of lease terms. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted-average
lease term is 0.8 years for the remaining leases. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual
value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company’s lease liabilities under the remaining operating leases as of March
31, 2024 for the next five years is as follows:

all computer software and its source code and software licenses in exchange for the issuance of USD$1,000,000 worth of common stock, par
value $0.00001 per share, of the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 198,412 restricted shares to the Seller
on March 12, 2024.
We have created an innovative online-to-offline
e-commerce platform business model offering consumers and merchants instant rebates and affiliate cashback programs, while providing a
seamless e-payment solution with rebates in both e-commerce (i.e., online) and physical retailers/merchant (i.e., offline) settings.
Our proprietary product is an application branded
“ZCITY App,” which was developed through ZCITY. The ZCITY App was successfully launched in Malaysia in June 2020. ZCITY is
equipped with the know-how and expertise to develop additional/add-on technology-based products and services to complement the ZCITY App,
thereby growing its reach and user base.
39
Through simplifying a user’s e-payment gateway
experience, as well as by providing great deals, rewards and promotions with every use, we aim to make the ZCITY App Malaysia’s
top reward and loyalty platform. Our longer-term goal is for the ZCITY App and its ever-developing technology to become one of the most
well-known commercialized applications more broadly in Southeast Asia and Japan. As of May 5, 2024, we had 2,699,216 registered users
and 2,027 registered merchants.
Southeast Asia (“SEA”) consumers
have access to a plethora of smart ordering, delivery and “loyalty” websites and apps, but in our experience, SEA consumers
very rarely receive personalized deals based on their purchases and behavior.
The ZCITY App targets consumer through the provision
of personalized deals based on consumers’ purchase history, location and preferences. Our technology platform allows us to identify
the spending trends of our customers (the when, where, why, and how much). We are able to offer these personalized deals through the application
of our proprietary artificial intelligence (or “AI”) technology that scours the available database to identify and create
opportunities to extrapolate the greatest value from the data, analyze consumer behavior and roll out attractive rewards-based campaigns
for targeted audiences. We believe this AI technology is currently a unique market differentiator for the ZCITY App.
We operate our ZCITY App on the hashtag: “#RewardsOnRewards.” We
believe this branding demonstrates to users the ability to spend ZCITY App-based Reward Points (or “RP”) and “ZCITY
Cash Vouchers” with discount benefits at checkout. Additionally, users can earn rewards from selected e-Wallet or other payment
methods.
ZCITY App users do not require any on-going credit
top-up or need to provide bank card number with their binding obligations. We have partnered with Malaysia’s leading payment gateway,
iPay88, for secure and convenient transactions. Users can use our secure platform and enjoy cashless shopping experiences with rebates
when they shop with e-commerce and retail merchants through trusted and leading e-wallet providers such as Touch’n Go eWallet, Boost
eWallet, GrabPay eWallet and credit card/online banking like the “FPX” (the Malaysian Financial Process Exchange) as well
as more traditional providers such as Visa and Mastercard.
On May 1, 2023, we entered into a worldwide master
license agreement (“License Agreement 1”) with Morganfield’s Holdings Sdn Bhd (“Licensor 1”), an unrelated
third party. Pursuant to the License Agreement 1, the Licensor 1 agreed to grant us the exclusive worldwide license for the right to use
the Morganfield’s Trademark (“Trademark 2”) for a period of five years. During the five-year license period, we agree
to pay Licensor 1 for monthly license fee throughout the license period, with minimum aggregate payments of approximately $1.5 million
or 40% of the total monthly collections from our sub-licensees, whichever is higher.
On June 6, 2023, we entered into a worldwide master
license agreement (“License Agreement 2”) with Sigma Muhibah Sdn Bhd (“Licensor 2”), an unrelated third party.
Pursuant to the License Agreement 2, Licensor 2 agreed to grant the AY Food Ventures Sdn Bhd with the exclusive worldwide license for
right of use in Abe Yus’s Trademark (“Trademark 2”) for a period of five years. During the five years license period,
we agree to pay the licensor 2 for monthly license fee throughout the license period, with minimum aggregate payments of approximately
$1.2 million or 40% of the total monthly collection from our sub-licensees, whichever is higher.
We are currently in the developmental stages of
the TAZTE Smart F&B system (“TAZTE”), which is envisioned as a comprehensive solution for digital transformation tailored
to registered food and beverage (“F&B”) outlets across Malaysia. TAZTE is strategically crafted as a merchant-centric
program, aiming to harness our user data to drive heightened business growth for our merchant clientele. The complimentary trial period
offered to merchants for participation in TAZTE, initially slated to conclude on December 31, 2023, has been extended until June 2024.
Consequently, no revenue was generated from TAZTE during the nine-month period ending March 31, 2024.

Key
Factors that Affect Operating Results
We
believe the key factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations include the following:
Our
Ability to Create Value for Our Users and Generate Revenue
Our
ability to create value for our users and generate our revenues from merchants is driven by the factors described below:
Number
and volume of transactions completed by our consumers .
Consumers
are attracted to ZCITY by the breadth of personalized deals/rewards and the interactive user experience our platform offers. The number
and volume of transaction completed by our member consumers is affected by our ability to continue to enhance and expand our product
and service offerings and improve the user experience.
Empowering
data and technology.
Our
ability to engage our member consumers and empower our merchants and their brands is affected by the breadth and depth of our data insights,
such as the accuracy of our members’ shopping preferences, and our technology capabilities and infrastructure, and our continued
ability to develop scalable services and upgrade our platform user experience to adapt to the quickly evolving industry trends and consumer
preferences.
Our
Investment in User Base, Technology, People and Infrastructure
We
have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in our platform to attract consumers and merchants, enhance user experience
and expand the capabilities and scope of our platform. We expect to continue to invest in our research and development team as well as
in our technology capabilities and infrastructure, which will lower our margins but deliver overall long-term growth.
Inflation
Although
Malaysia is experiencing a high inflation rate, we do not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on our business as
March 31, 2024, but we will continue to monitor the effects of inflation on our business in future periods.
Supply
Chain Disruptions
Although
there have been global supply chain disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine
and the 2023 Middle East conflicts that may have affected the operations of some of our online and offline merchants, these disruptions
have not had a material adverse effect on our business as of March 31, 2024, but we will continue to monitor the effects of supply chain
disruptions on our business in future periods.
Key
Operating Metrics
Our
management regularly reviews a number of metrics to evaluate our business, measures our performance, identifies trends, formulates financial
projections and makes strategic decisions. The main metrics we consider, and our results for last five quarters, are set forth in the

We
have experienced a decrease in growth rate in registered users, and a decline of active users over the last five quarters as of March
31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we recorded 2,696,255 registered users and 41,458 active users on the ZCITY platform. On average, our
registered user base has grown by approximately 2.8% over the past five quarters, while our active user numbers have experienced an average
decline of 31.6%.
The
decline in growth of registered users and active users over the past five quarters, as of March 31, 2024, is primarily attributed to
reduced E-voucher purchases from our vendor, resulting in fewer E-vouchers available for sale. Additionally, we’ve implemented
reductions in marketing spending and customer rewards to enhance cost-effectiveness and operational profitability. Consequently, this
has led to a decrease in new user registrations and lower retention rates among active users on our ZCITY platform.
We
continuously monitor the development and participation of active users as a proportion of its total registered user base to ensure the
effectiveness of our marketing and feature implantation strategies. Accordingly, the proportion of total registered users that we consider
active users at the end last five quarters as of March 31, 2024 is as follows:

2024 from approximately $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease
in product and loyalty program revenue.
Product
and loyalty program revenue
Product
revenue was generated through sales of our e-voucher, health care products and other products through our ZCITY platform while loyalty
program revenue was recognized when our customers redeem their previously earned reward points from our loyalty program or upon expiration
of the reward point. In addition, we also engage in sales of food and beverage products through our newly acquired subsidiaries, Morgan
Global Sdn. Bhd (“Morgan”) and AY Food Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (“AY Food”). The product and loyalty program revenue
decrease by approximately $16.6 million or 92.0% to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately
$18.1 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to our strategic decision to reduce spending
on customer rewards and marketing campaigns in order to enhance cost-effectiveness and profitability in our operations. This reduction
in customer incentives and marketing expenditures resulted in a decrease in the platform’s appeal to both existing and potential
customers, ultimately leading to a decline in revenue for the current period.
43
Transaction
revenue
The transaction revenue primarily consists of
fees charged to merchants for participating in our ZCITY platform upon successful sales transaction and payment service taken place between
the merchants and their customers online. Our transaction revenue decreased by 34.1%. Our average percentage of growth of new merchants
was approximately 0.3% throughout the last five quarters as of March 31, 2024. However, for the three months ended on March 31, 2024,
we did not have any new merchants join our ZCITY platform.
Member
subscription revenue
Member
subscription revenue primarily consists of fees charged to customers who signed up for Zmember, a membership program that includes
exclusive saving, bonus and referral rewards. Member subscription revenue increased by 201.3% to approximately $84,000 for three
months end March 31, 2024 as compared to approximately $28,000 for the same period in 2023 as more customers have joined our Zmember
program. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 28,927 and 18,984 customers who subscribed to our Zmember program, respectively.
Sublicense
revenue
As
we acquired exclusive worldwide license for right of use in Morganfield’s Trademark, and Abe Yus’s Trademark on May 1, 2023,
and June 6, 2023, respectively, for a period of five years, we have generated sublicense revenue consist of fee charged to the customers
who sublicensed the right of use of the Trademark from us. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, sublicense revenue was amounted
to approximately $43,000. As of March 31, 2024 we engaged 10 customers as sublicensees who operated their restaurant under Morganfield’s
and Abe Yu’s Trademark in Singapore, Malaysia and China. We expect our sublicense revenue remain as insignificant to our operation
for 2024 and beyond.

from approximately 0.8% in 2023 to approximately 13.6% in 2024, representing an enhancement of 12.8% in our gross margin percentage.
The
increase in both gross profit and gross margin were mainly attributed to our decision to reduce spending on customer rewards within our
ZCITY platform, resulting in a decrease in deferred revenue and consequently leading to higher gross profit and gross margin in the current
period. Additionally, the growth in member subscription revenue, which possesses a high-profit margin, has also contributed to this positive
trend.
45
Operating
expenses
Our
operating expenses consist of selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and stock-based
compensation expenses.
Selling
expenses
Selling
expenses amounted to approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing
a decrease of approximately $0.9 million or 75.1%. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in marketing and promotion expense
of approximately $0.6 million related to promoting our ZCITY platform. Marketing and promotion expense consists of redemptions of reward
points which is generated from non-spending related activities (registration as a new user, referral of a new user and Spin & Win
eligibility to receive reward points) in exchange for discounted credit of purchasing our products upon conversion of using the reward
points. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $49,000 and $0.5 million, respectively, in marketing
and promotion expense, and recognized the same amount of product revenue at the time of redemption of the non-spending related activities
reward points by our customers. The decrease in marketing and promotion expenses was primarily driven by our strategic goal to optimize
the promotional activities, enhance our cost effectiveness, and increase profitability in our operations.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,
respectively, representing an decrease of approximately $0.3 million or 18.9%. The decrease was primarily attributed to decrease in salary
expenses and professional fee expense of approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to promote our operation effectiveness,
offset by increase in depreciation expense of approximately $0.2 million.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expense amounted to approximately $182,000 and $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
representing 71.3% increase which is attribute to we incurred more spending in mobile application or website development.
Stock-based
compensation expenses
Stock-based
compensation expenses amounted to $0 and approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The stock-based compensation incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was related to compensation paid to Voon Him “Victor”
Hoo for his service as our former director .
Other
expense, net
Other
expense, net, amounted to approximately $0.4 million and $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such
change was primarily attributable to we incurred an unrealized loss of approximately $347,000 from our investment in marketable securities.
46
Provision
for income taxes
Provision
for income taxes amounted to approximately $0 and $11,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The
amount was mainly attributable to tax imposed on us from the State of Delaware, as we are required to remit franchise tax to the State
of Delaware on an annual basis. We also were subject to controlled foreign corporations Subpart F income (“Subpart F”) tax,
which is a tax primarily on passive income from controlled foreign corporations with a tax rate of 35%. In addition, the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act imposed a global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax, which is a tax on certain off-shore earnings at an effective
rate of 10.5% for tax years (50% deduction of the current enacted tax rate of 21%) with a partial offset for 80% foreign tax credits.
If the foreign tax rate is 13.125% or higher, there will be no U.S. corporate tax after the 80% foreign tax credits are applied. For
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our foreign subsidiaries did not generate any income that are subject to Subpart
F tax and GILTI tax.
Net
losses
Our
net losses decreased by approximately $1.2 million predominately due to the reasons as discussed above.

2024 from approximately $54.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease
in product and loyalty program revenue.
Product
and loyalty program revenue
Product
revenue was generated through sales of our e-voucher, health care products and other products through our ZCITY platform while loyalty
program revenue was recognized when our customers redeem their previously earned reward points from our loyalty program or upon expiration
of the reward point. In addition, we also engage in sales of food and beverage products through our newly acquired subsidiaries, Morgan
and AY Food. The product and loyalty program revenue decreased by approximately $32.7 million or 60.7% to approximately $21.2 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $53.9 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily
attributable to our strategic decision to reduce spending on customer rewards and marketing campaigns in order to enhance cost-effectiveness
and profitability in our operations. This reduction in customer incentives and marketing expenditures resulted in a decrease in the platform’s
appeal to both existing and potential customers, ultimately leading to a decline in revenue for the current period.
47
Transaction
revenue
The
transaction revenue primarily consists of fees charged to merchants for participating in our ZCITY platform upon successful sales transaction
and payment service taken place between the merchants and their customers online. Our transaction revenue decreased by 6.3%. Our average
percentage of growth of new merchants was approximately 0.3% throughout the last five quarters as of March 31, 2024. For the nine months
ending on March 31, 2024, we have an additional 17 new merchants that joined our ZCITY platform.
Member
subscription revenue
Member
subscription revenue primarily consists of fees charged to customers who signed up for Zmember, a membership program that includes
exclusive saving, bonus and referral rewards. Member subscription revenue increased by 76.5% to approximately $0.4 million for nine
months end March 31, 2024 as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the same period in 2023 as we have more customers to join our
Zmember program. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 28,927 and 18,984 customers who subscribed to our Zmember program, respectively.
Sublicense
revenue
As
we acquired exclusive worldwide license for right of use in Morganfield’s Trademark, and Abe Yus’s Trademark on May 1, 2023,
and June 6, 2023, respectively, for a period of five years, we have generated sublicense revenue consist of fee charged to the customers
who sublicensed the right of use of the Trademark from us. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, sublicense revenue was amounted
to approximately $159,000. As of March 31, 2024, we engaged 10 customers as sublicensees who operated their restaurant under Morganfield’s
and Abe Yu’s Trademark in Singapore, Malaysia, and China. We expect our sublicense revenue remain as insignificant to our
operation for 2024 and beyond.

products which is directly attributable to our product revenue. Cost of revenue also consists of monthly license payment made to our
licensor to maintain our good standing for the right of use the Trademark which is attributable to our sublicense revenue. Total cost
of revenue decreased by approximately $32.7 million or 60.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in
2023. The decrease was in line with our decrease in revenue.

Our
gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to approximately $0.7 million, compared to approximately $0.5 million
for the same period in 2023, reflecting an increase of approximately $0.3 million or 60.4%. Our gross margin for the same periods improved
from approximately 0.8% in 2023 to approximately 3.3% in 2024, representing an enhancement of 2.5% in our gross margin percentage.
The
increase in both gross profit and gross margin were mainly attributed to our decision to reduce spending on customer rewards within our
ZCITY platform, resulting in a decrease in deferred revenue and consequently leading to higher gross profit and gross margin in the current
period. Additionally, the growth in member subscription revenue, which possesses a high-profit margin, has also contributed to this positive
trend.
Operating
expenses
Our
operating expenses consist of selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and stock-based
compensation expenses.
49
Selling
expenses
Selling
expenses amounted to approximately $1.6 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing
a decrease of approximately $2.2 million or 58.1%. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in marketing and promotion expense
of approximately $2.1 million related to promoting our ZCITY platform. Marketing and promotion expense consists of redemptions of reward
points which is generated from non-spending related activities (registration as a new user, referral of a new user and Spin & Win
eligibility to receive reward points) in exchange for discounted credit of purchasing our products upon conversion of using the reward
points. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in
marketing and promotion expense, and recognized the same amount of product revenue at the time of redemption of the non-spending related
activities reward points by our customers. The decrease in marketing and promotion expenses was primarily driven by our strategic goal
to optimize the promotional activities, enhance our cost effectiveness, and increase profitability in our operations.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $3.1 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,
respectively, representing an increase of approximately $0.1 million or 3.2%. The increase was mainly due to increase of director &
officer liability insurance expense, depreciation expense, and bad debt expense of approximately $0.1 million, 0.3 million, and 0.3 million,
respectively, offset by decreased in salary expenses and professional fee expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively,
to improve our operation efficiency.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expense remain constant which amounted to approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,
respectively.
Stock-based
compensation expenses
Stock-based
compensation expenses amounted to $0 and approximately $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The stock-based compensation incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, includes compensation for Exchange Listing LLC’s
service related to our initial public offering, as well as compensation for Voon Him “Victor” Hoo for his service as our
former director.
Other
expense, net
For
the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred other expense, net, amounted to approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $0.4 million which was primarily attributable to we incurred other income from
software developing service, net of cost of approximately $0.7 million, and a decrease of amortization of debt discount of approximately
$0.7 million related to our convertible note payable as we had fewer convertible notes containing debt discount that needed to be amortized
for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compare to the same period in 2023, offset by an unrealized loss approximately $0.7 million
from marketable securities we received as service consideration in development of an artificial intelligence powered travel platform,
redemption premium of approximately $0.3 million remit to our convertible note holder as a result of floor price triggering event.
Provision
for income taxes
Provision
for income taxes amounted to approximately $21,000 and $35,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The
amount was mainly attributable to tax imposed on us from the State of Delaware, as we are required to remit franchise tax to the
State of Delaware on an annual basis. We also were subject to controlled foreign corporations Subpart F income tax, which is a tax primarily
on passive income from controlled foreign corporations with a tax rate of 35%. In addition, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act imposed a global
intangible low-taxed income tax, which is a tax on certain off-shore earnings at an effective rate of 10.5% for tax years (50% deduction
of the current enacted tax rate of 21%) with a partial offset for 80% foreign tax credits. If the foreign tax rate is 13.125% or higher,
there will be no U.S. corporate tax after the 80% foreign tax credits are applied. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,
our foreign subsidiaries did not generate any income that are subject to Subpart F tax and GILTI tax.
50
Net
loss
Our
net losses decreased by approximately $3.6 million predominately due to the reasons as discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
In
assessing liquidity, we monitor and analyze cash on-hand and operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet working
capital requirements and operating expense obligations. To date, we financed our operations primarily through cash flows from contribution
from stockholders, issuance of convertible notes, related party loans and our completion of initial underwritten public offering.
As
of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we had approximately $0.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalent which
primarily consists of bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
On
August 15, 2022, we had closed our initial underwritten public offering of 32,858 (post 1:70 split) shares of common stock, par value
$0.00001 per share, at $280 (as adjusted post 1:70 split) per share. Meanwhile we received net proceeds of approximately $8.2 million,
net of underwriting discounts and commissions and fees, and other offering expenses which amounted to approximately $1.0 million.
From
February to June 2023, we issued two convertible notes to a third party in an aggregate principal amount of $5,500,000. We received $5,060,000
in proceeds from the third-party net of discount. The convertible notes accrued interest at 4% per annum and had a 12-month term. On
December 6, 2023, we paid a total of $2,102,909.59 which represented the outstanding balance of one of the convertible notes issued pursuant
to the securities purchase agreement. The other convertible note had already been fully converted into shares of our common stock prior
to December 6, 2023.
On
November 30, 2023, we closed our underwritten public offering (the “November 2023 Offering”) of (i) 371,629 (post 1:70 split)
shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $7.00 (as adjusted post 1:70 split) per share of common stock and (ii) pre-funded
warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of common stock, each with the right to purchase
one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.007 per share, sold at a public offering price of $6.993 per Pre-Funded Warrant.
Upon closing of the November 2023 Offering, we received aggregate net proceed of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commission and non-accountable expenses.
Despite
receiving the proceeds from our initial underwritten public offering, the November 2023 Offering, and issuance of two convertible notes,
management is of the opinion that we will not have sufficient funds to meet the working capital requirements and debt obligations as
they become due starting from one year from the date of this report due to our recurring loss. Therefore, management has determined there
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate significant revenue, we may be required
to curtail or cease our operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources:
●
Equity financing to support
our working capital;
●
Other available sources
of financing (including debt) from Malaysian banks and other financial institutions; and
●
Financial support and credit
guarantee commitments from our related parties.
However,
there is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated.
The
following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of the date of this Report, we have the following off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a future effect on our financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations and liquidity:
Commitment
On
May 1, 2023, our subsidiary Morgan entered into a worldwide master license agreement (the “Morganfield’s License Agreement”)
with Morganfield’s Holdings Sdn Bhd (the “Morganfield’s”), an unrelated third party. Pursuant to the Morganfield
License Agreement, Morganfield’s agreed to grant Morgan with the exclusive worldwide license for right of use in Morganfield’s
trademark for a period of five years. During the five years license period, Morgan is obligated to pay Morganfield’s for license
fees on a monthly basis in an aggregate total of minimum payment of approximately $1.5 million or 40% of the total monthly collection
from Morgan’s sub-licensees, whichever is higher.
On
June 6, 2023, our subsidiary AY Food Ventures Sdn Bhd entered into a worldwide master license agreement (the “Sigma License Agreement”)
with Sigma Muhibah Sdn Bhd (“Sigma”), an unrelated third party. Pursuant to the Sigma License Agreement, Sigma agreed to
grant AY Food Ventures Sdn Bhd with the exclusive worldwide license for right of use in Abe Yus’s Trademark for a period of five
years. During the five years license period, we agree to pay Sigma for license fees on a monthly basis in an aggregate total of minimum
payment of approximately $1.2 million or 40% of the total monthly collection from our sub-licensees, whichever is higher.
Critical
Accounting Estimate
Our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting
estimates that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These estimates are important for an understanding of
our financial condition and results of operation. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their
significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ
significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting estimates involve the most
significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
The
preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements
include the estimated retail price per point and estimated breakage to calculate the revenue recognized in our loyalty program revenue,
the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, provision for estimated credit losses, write-down for estimated
obsolescence or unmarketable inventories, realization of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position, fair value of our stock price
to determine the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) within the convertible note, fair value of the stock-based compensation,
fair value of the marketable securities and fair value of the warrants issued. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
53
Accounts
receivable, net
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts and do not accrue interest. We offer various
payments terms to customers from cash due on delivery to 90 days based on their credit history. Accounts receivable encompass amounts
due from sales of healthcare products on our ZCITY platform, sublicensing revenue and sales of food and beverage products. Starting from
July 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”). We used a modified retrospective approach, and the adoption does not have
an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s
financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance when all collection efforts have been exhausted, and recovery potential is deemed
remote. Our management reviews historical accounts receivable collection rates across all aging brackets and has made 100% provision
of credit loss for customer balances aged above 120 days for sales of healthcare products on our ZCITY platform and 100% provision for
customer balances aged above 60 days for sublicensing revenue and sales of food and beverage products. Our management continuously assesses
the reasonableness of the credit loss allowance policy and updates it as needed. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recorded
$152,831and $214 of provision for estimated credit losses, respectively.
Inventories
Our
inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method.
These costs encompass gift cards or ‘E-voucher’ pin codes, which are acquired from our suppliers as merchandise goods or
store credit, as well as healthcare products. Management conducts regular comparisons between the cost of inventories and their net realizable
value. If the net realizable value is lower than the cost, an allowance is made for inventory write-down. Ongoing assessments of inventories
are carried out to identify potential write-downs due to estimated obsolescence or unmarketability. This determination is based on the
difference between the inventory costs and the estimated net realizable value, considering forecasts for future demand and market conditions.
Once inventories are written down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, they are not subsequently marked up based on changes
in underlying facts and circumstances. Our management has reviewed the aforementioned factors and has applied a 100% write-down for inventories
aged above 180 days related to our E-voucher and health care products. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded
$484 write-down for inventories. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we did not record any write-down for inventories.
Other
receivables and other current assets, net
Other
receivables and other current assets primarily include refundable advance to third party service provider and other deposits. Management
regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of
amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection
are made. No allowance of other receivables and other current assets were recorded as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Prepayments
Prepayments
and deposits are mainly cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases. This amount is refundable and bears no
interest. For any prepayments determined by management that such advances will not be in receipt of inventories, services or refundable,
we will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews our prepayments on a regular basis to determine if
the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for
doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. Our management continues to evaluate
the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and updates it if necessary. No allowance of prepayments was recorded as of
March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Impairment
for long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets, including property and equipment with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such
as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value
of an asset may not be recoverable. We assessed the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets
are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use
of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment
is identified, we would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach
or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. No impairment for long-lived assets were recorded as of March 31, 2024
and June 30, 2023.
54
Investment
in marketable securities
We
follow the provisions of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . Investments in marketable equity securities (non-current) are reported at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)
in the caption of “unrealized holding loss on marketable securities” in each reporting period. For the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2024, we incurred unrealized holding loss on marketable securities amounted to approximately $347,000 and $699,000, respectively.
Revenue
recognition
Loyalty
program
-
Performance obligations
satisfied over time
Our
ZCITY reward loyalty program allows members to earn points on purchases that can be redeemed for rewards that include discounts on future
purchases. When members purchase our product or make purchase with our participated vendor through ZCITY, we allocate the transaction
price between the product or service, and the reward points earned based on the relative stand-alone selling prices and expected point
redemption. The portion allocated to the reward points is initially recorded as contract liability and subsequently recognized as revenue
upon redemption or expiration.
The
two primary estimates utilized to record the contract liability for reward points earned by members are the estimated retail price per
point and estimated breakage. The estimated retail price per point is based on the actual historical retail prices of product purchased
or service obtained through the redemption of reward points. We estimate breakage of reward points based on historical redemption rates.
We continually evaluate our methodology and assumptions based on developments in retail price per point redeemed, redemption patterns
and other factors. Changes in the retail price per point and redemption rates have the effect of either increasing or decreasing the
contract liability through current period revenue by an amount estimated to represent the retail value of all points previously earned
but not yet redeemed by loyalty program members as of the end of the reporting period.
Income
taxes
Deferred
taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable
temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income
statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt
with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance
with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An
uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained
in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that
is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test,
no tax benefit is recorded.
55
Stock-based
compensation
We
recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to third party consultant and former director as an expense
in the statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The
fair value of each warrants granted are estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model while the
fair value of each common stock granted are estimated using the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value
is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of the common stock of the Company, expected life
of stock options, the expected volatility and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions reflect the Company’s
best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of the Company. The
fair value of the stock-based compensation which included warrants and common stock issued were estimated to be $0 and $819,332 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Convertible
notes
We
evaluate our convertible notes to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives. The
result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each reporting period
and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the
statements of operations as other income or expense.
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other
embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments
are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
If
the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature. A BCF is recorded by us as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20
“Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related
to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense, over the life of the debt.
Warrants
We
account for warrants as equity-classified instruments in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. The fair value of each warrant granted
is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value is amortized as compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes
various assumptions, including the fair market value of our common stock, expected life of stock options, the expected volatility and
the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions reflect our best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties
based on market conditions generally outside our control. Based on the above assumption, the fair value of the warrants issued during
the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were estimated to be $175,349.
For
the nine months ended March 31, 2024, 14,000,000 Pre-Funded Warrant were issued in connection with the November 2023 Offering. The Pre-Funded
Warrants are classified as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital and were recorded at
the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method. We valued the Pre-Funded Warrants at issuance concluding the purchase
price approximated the fair value and allocated net proceeds from the purchase proportionately to the common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants,
of which $1,398,600 was allocated to the Pre-Funded Warrants and recorded as a component of additional paid in capital.

Our
management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the
end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not, in design and operation, effective as of March
31, 2024 at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below:
●
Inadequate U.S. GAAP expertise.
The current accounting staff is inexperienced in applying U.S. GAAP standard as they are primarily engaged in ensuring compliance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) accounting and reporting requirement for our consolidated operating
entities, and thus require substantial training. The current staff’s accounting skills and understanding as to how to fulfill
the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate;
●
Inadequate
internal audit function. We lack of a functional internal audit department or personnel that monitors the consistencies of the preventive
internal control procedures and lack of adequate policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that our policies and
procedures have been carried out as planned;
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Following
the identification of the material weaknesses, we plan to take remedial measures including:
●
hiring more qualified accounting
personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function
and to set up a financial and system control framework;
●
implementing regular and
continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial reporting personnel;
●
establishing internal audit
function by engaging an external consulting firm to assist us with assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 compliance requirements
and improvement of overall internal control; and
●
strengthening corporate
governance.
