Lease commitments

 

On April 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 842 for ASL’s office space lease and sales and training center as the lease commencement date upon the acquisition of ASL. The Company recognized lease liabilities of approximately $490,000, with a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset in the same amount based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the lease, using an effective interest rate of 5.5%, which was determined using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate.

 

On May 31, 2021, the Company entered into two separate two-year leases extension with the modified lease expiring May 31, 2023 for its office space and expiring August 31, 2023 for its training center. The lease modification required the Company to re-measure the ROU assets and lease liabilities based on the modified leases. The Company recognized a reduction of $3,250 in ROU assets and lease liabilities upon lease modifications based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the lease, using an effective interest rate of 5.5%, which was determined using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate.

 

The weighted remaining term of the lease is approximately 1.42 years.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s commitment for minimum lease payment under these operating leases within the next twelve months were $19,218.

COVID-19

 

Since the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization or WHO, Malaysia has been put through various stages of lockdowns such as (1) full movement control orders (“MCO”), under which, quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia were made mandatory, (2) MCO were eased to a Conditional Movement Control Order (“CMCO”) where most business sectors were allowed to operate under strict rules and Standard Operating Procedures mandated by the government of Malaysia and (3) CMCO were further relaxed to Recovery Movement Control Order (“RMCO”). On January 12, 2021, due to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, the Malaysian government declared a state of emergency nationwide to combat COVID-19. Intermittent lockdowns were imposed in various states and districts in the country. February 2021 marked a significant month for Malaysia as all frontline staff of the country, which comprised those in healthcare, police, the Volunteers Department of Malaysia, the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia and civil defense sectors were vaccinated. On February 16, 2021, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that a National COVID-19 Immunization Plan will be implemented for one year after February 2021, which 80% of the Malaysia population will be vaccinated to achieve herd immunization. On March 5, 2021, lockdowns in most part of the country was eased to a CMCO, nevertheless, COVID-19 cases in the country continue to rise. On May 12, 2021, Malaysia was again put under a full lockdown nationwide, until the earlier of (i) daily COVID-19 cases infection of the country fall below 4,000; (ii) intensive Unit Care, or ICU, wards start operating at a moderate level; or (iii) 10% of the Malaysian population is fully vaccinated. The country was administering over 400,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines daily. On July 17, 2021, the full lockdown was slightly eased as 13.9% of the Malaysian population was fully vaccinated, with another 30% having received at least one dose of the vaccine. The COVID-19 situation in the country showed no sign of abating. Kuala Lumpur and Selangor remained the epicenter of the latest wave of infections. Total COVID-19 cases in the country surpassed the one million mark on July 25, 2021, and daily cases hit a record high of 24,599 on August 26, 2021. Despite the deteriorating COVID-19 state, the government lifted Kuala Lumpur from

Enhanced Movement Control Order (“EMCO”) ahead of schedule and ended the nationwide state of emergency on August 1, 2021. Parliament met for the first time this year on July 26, 2021. Malaysia pressed on with its National COVID-19 Immunization Plan, fast inoculating of its residents. COVID-19 infections started to drop below the 10,000 mark daily, beginning October 3, 2021. Effective October 11, 2021, interstate and international travel restrictions were lifted for residents who had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as the country achieved its target of inoculating 90% of its adult population.

 

Malaysia officially transitioned to the endemic phase of COVID-19 effective April 1, 2022. Restrictions on businesses and people are minimal. Meanwhile, the government continues to encourage inoculation for those between the ages of 5 to 11 years and its adolescent group which comprised those between the ages 12 to 17. Adults who have been fully vaccinated, i.e. received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to take booster shots.

 

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

 

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

 

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There is no guarantee that the Company’s total revenues will grow or remain at similar levels year over year in 2022 and beyond.
