and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, based on the foregoing
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, based on the Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). Based on
this evaluation under the 2013 Framework, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to the following material weaknesses:
● 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 PCAOB Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
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 compliance requirements
and improvement of overall internal control; and
● strengthening
corporate governance.

Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the
quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Our
Board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly
discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The
risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board
to understand our risk identification, risk management, and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk,
including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, strategic, and reputational risk.
Board
of Directors
Our
business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board consists of five directors, three of whom qualify as “independent”
under the listing standards of Nasdaq.
Directors
serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until their
successors have been elected and qualified.
Director
Independence
Our
board of directors are composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the
definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that
an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship
which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● the
director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;
● the
director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve
(12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions,
including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
57
● the
director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which
the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed
5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);
● the
director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three
(3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the Remuneration Committee of such other entity; or
● the
director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past
three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken
a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and
affiliations, our Board has determined that Kok Pin “Darren” Tan, Wei Ping Leong and Wai Kuan Chan are independent directors
of the Company.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition
and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board is described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation
or until as otherwise determined by our Board.

We have established an audit committee consisting
of Kok Pin “Darren” Tan, Wei Ping Leong and Wai Kuan Chan. Wei Ping Leong is the Chairman of the audit committee. In addition,
our Board has determined that Wei Ping Leong is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified
in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
● reviewing
and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether
the audited financial statements should be included in our annual disclosure report;
● discussing
with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation
of our financial statements;
● discussing

● inquiring
and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
● pre-approving
all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services
to be performed;
● appointing
or replacing the independent auditor;
● determining
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the
independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;
● establishing
procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or
reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and
● approving
reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.
The
audit committee is composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined
under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and
understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
In
addition, the Company intends to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past
employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or
background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

limited to:

● evaluating
director performance on our board of directors and applicable committees of our board of directors and determining whether continued
service on our board of directors is appropriate;
● evaluating
nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to our board of directors; and

governance matters.
Code

Our
Board plans to adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics (“Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees,
including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing
similar functions. We intend to post on our website a current copy of the Code and all disclosures that are required by law in regard
to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code.
Family
Relationships
There
are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings

non-audit services performed by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services
and other services. Under our Audit Committee’s policy, pre-approval is generally provided for particular services or categories
of services, including planned services, project-based services and routine consultations. In addition, the Audit Committee may also pre-approve
particular services on a case-by-case basis. Our Audit Committee approved all services that our independent accountants provided to us
for the 2024 fiscal year.
