PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We have engaged in manufacturing and sales of recovered and recycled products in Malaysia since 2019. We have two factories about 8,759.83 square meters to produce our products and serve our clients.
Corporate History
Sino Green Land Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 6, 2008, under the name of Henry County Plywood Corporation, as successor by merger to a Virginia corporation incorporated in May 1948 under the same name. On March 17, 2009, the Company changed its name from “Henry County Plywood Corporation” to “Sino Green Land Corporation”. During 2009 to 2011, the Company was principally engaged in the wholesale distribution of premium fruits in China. In 2011, the Company was delinquent in statutory filings, and the last annual report, Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, was filed to the SEC on March 31, 2011, and the last Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011, was filed to the SEC on November 14, 2011.
On December 30, 2019, the Eighth District Court of Clark County, Nevada granted the Application for Appointment of Custodian, to Custodian Ventures LLC. Mr. David Lazar (“Mr. Lazar”), on behalf of the Custodian Ventures LLC, was awarded with custodianship and appointed as sole officer and director due to the Company’s ineffective board of directors, revocation of corporate charter, and abandonment of business. On January 7, 2020, Mr. Lazar announced the Court Order and the Change in Principal Officer through Form 8-K filing. The filing also mentioned the change of Company’s name from “Sino Green Land Corporation” to “Go Silver Toprich, Inc.”. On June 10, 2020, a settlement agreement was entered between the Company, Custodian Ventures, LLC, and Mr. Lazar. Pursuant to the agreement, Custodian Ventures LLC shall dismiss its custodianship, and the Company shall resume its business operations, and each party shall provide each other mutual release. In consideration of the release, the Company was required to pay Custodian Ventures LLC $15,000 towards its costs and expenses as the settlement to dismiss its custodianship with the Court. On July 2, 2020, the custodianship was discharged by the Court and Mr. Lazar resigned as sole officer and director of the Company. The former officer, Mr. Luo Xiong (“Mr. Luo”) was re-appointed as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company.
Since July 2, 2020, along with the resumption of the Company’s business operations, Ms. Wo Kuk Ching (“Ms. Wo”), spouse of Mr. Luo has served as President and director of the Company, Ms. Wong Ching Wing (“Elise”), daughter of Ms. Wo has served as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and director of the Company, and Ms. Wong Erin (“Erin”), another daughter of Ms. Wo has served as Secretary of the Company, respectively. On August 31, 2020, the Company changed its name from “Go Silver Toprich, Inc.” back to “Sino Green Land Corporation”.
On December 2, 2021, Mr. Luo submitted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company to the board of directors effective June 30, 2021.
Effective from June 30, 2021, Ms. Wo serves as Chief Executive Officer, and currently holds the positions of Chief Executive Officer, President, and director of the Company, respectively.

On June 30, 2023, Sunshine Green Land Corp. (“SGL”) acquired 100% interest in Tian Li Eco Holdings Sdn. Bhd (“Tian Li”).
On October 1, 2023, SGLA merged SGL and all of the outstanding shares of SGL’s common stock were exchanged for 160,349,203 shares of common stock of SGLA and 1,781,658 shares of preferred stock of SGLA. As SGLA and SGL were under common control at the time of the share exchange, the transaction is accounted for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
Our Mission
Our mission is rooted in advocating for waste recycling, aiming for a sustainable environmental future. With its strategic initiatives, the Company’s objective is to become a prominent environmental recycling entity in Asia over the coming five years.
Our Model
We collects and sourcing the raw material such as the PET Bottle Bundle from Cambodia, Southeast Asia and New Zealand. After the raw material is delivered to the factory, we will process the sorting, cutting, crushing, washing, cleaning, drying, separating, recycling processing and further processing, until the materials are finally recycled into plastic end products such flakes, or Strapping belt, is produced. Thereafter, we sells it to local or oversea trading companies.

Market Overview
Addressing the Global Plastic Waste Crisis
The global plastic waste crisis has taken center stage in environmental discussions over recent decades. Since the 1950s, there has been a staggering surge in plastic production. What began as an annual output of 2 million tons has skyrocketed to an overwhelming 348 million tons by 2017. Correspondingly, the global plastic industry’s worth has soared to an estimated $522.6 billion. If current trajectories persist, the industry might potentially double in value by 2040 (Historic day in the campaign to beat plastic pollution: Nations commit to develop a legally binding agreement, Press release, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Mar 2022).
However, this surge in plastic production and its subsequent pollution presents monumental challenges that ripple across ecosystems. Climate change, biodiversity reduction, and the broad spectrum of environmental pollution are all exacerbated by this pervasive plastic proliferation. The consequences, if left unaddressed, could lead to irreversible environmental damages.
Beyond the environmental toll, there are significant health concerns related to plastic pollution. These implications span from potential disruptions in human fertility and hormonal imbalances to metabolic irregularities and concerning neurological effects. Notably, the open burning of plastics has also become a significant contributor to atmospheric pollution.
As global efforts intensify to limit global warming to within 1.5°C, a projection that stands out is the anticipated contribution of plastics to this crisis. By 2050, emissions stemming from plastic-related processes might constitute up to 15% of the globally permissible emissions.
Marine life bears the brunt of this crisis, with over 800 marine and coastal species under threat due to plastic pollution. From ingestion to entanglement, the dangers are extensive. Alarmingly, marine ecosystems are burdened with around 11 million tons of plastic debris annually. Unless current practices are recalibrated, this figure might see a twofold increase by 2040 (UNEP, Mar 2022).
Recycled-PET as a Solution to the Global Plastic Waste Crisis
The emergence of recycled-PET (R-PET) as a solution presents hope in addressing the intensifying global plastic waste crisis. By embracing the reclamation and repurposing of PET plastics, there is a potential to markedly reduce the volume of waste directed to landfills and oceans. This approach simultaneously curtails the reliance on the production of virgin plastics, resulting in significant cuts in carbon emissions and the conservation of crucial resources.
R-PET champions the principles of a circular economy, a sustainable model where resources undergo continuous recycling and repurposing to extend their lifecycle, thus reducing environmental harm. Such a holistic approach starkly deviates from the age-old linear economic model characterized by a “produce, use, discard” sequence.
Incorporating R-PET into industrial processes can substantially attenuate the environmental footprints of sectors heavily dependent on plastics. For instance, producing R-PET consumes roughly 75% less energy compared to its virgin counterpart and can curtail greenhouse gas emissions by a commendable 70%.

Additionally, leveraging R-PET in product manufacturing can bolster the image of companies, positioning them as champions of environmental consciousness. This strategic alignment does not merely offer a solution to the plastic waste conundrum but also augments brand standing in the market. Given the discernible shift towards sustainable products among consumers, companies employing R-PET can potentially foster increased brand loyalty from this growing eco-conscious demographic.
The Recycled-PET Global Market Overview
The global recycled-PET (R-PET) market is showcasing notable momentum. As of 2023, this burgeoning sector is estimated to be worth around US$11 billion, and if current trends persist, it’s poised to burgeon to a significant US$15 billion by 2028. This forecast points to a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% over the anticipated five-year span. (Recycled PET Market, Global Forecast to 2028, Markets and Markets, June 2023)
Several pivotal factors are propelling this market surge. Foremost, there’s an unmistakable transformation in consumer behavior patterns. As individuals worldwide become more attuned to the far-reaching environmental consequences of plastic waste, their purchasing habits evolve. It is now evident that consumers are gravitating away from excessively packaged products, opting instead for items that underscore eco-friendliness as a key characteristic.
Furthermore, the role of governmental bodies cannot be understated. Many international administrations are ardently endorsing recycling and the principles of a circular economy. Through a plethora of policies, they are setting the stage to encourage and, in certain instances, mandate sustainable business conduct and elevated recycling standards. In certain jurisdictions, the integration of recycled materials has become a cornerstone of packaging regulations. These legal frameworks are supplemented with precise targets for recycled content, nudging manufacturers to embed environmental stewardship within their product development and design ethos.
From an economic perspective, the R-PET realm is presenting an intriguing landscape. In certain jurisdictions, particularly the EU, the advent of mandatory recycling directives means that the demand for food-grade R-PET is consistently outpacing the available supply. Consequently, its price per ton has reached a premium of around 1,500 Euros in September 2022 (Plastics and Sustainability Trends in September 2022, czapp.com, Oct 2022), which is a significant increment from a base valuation pegged at 400 Euros.
Opportunities for Recycled-PET in the Asia-Pacific Region
The Asia-Pacific region, a dominant global nexus for production, is abuzz with activity. With a multitude of multinational entities spread across diverse sectors such as food & beverage, personal care, and household products, it’s an area that presents a myriad of opportunities. This operational vibrancy inherently fosters a growing demand for recycled PET, setting an optimistic trajectory for our firm. One can gauge the strength and potential of this sector by examining key metrics. For instance, pivotal export territories, especially the European R-PET market, are projected to escalate to an impressive US$3.9 billion by 2028. Growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.1%, these figures shed light on the surging demand and potential of the R-PET domain (Recycled PET Market, Global Forecast to 2028, Markets and Markets, Jun 2023).
6 |
Moreover, the regulatory landscape in this region is evolving in favor of sustainability. Several countries have made strides in introducing frameworks that promote the incorporation of recycled materials, with a specific emphasis on packaging. These legislative advancements not only fortify the market landscape but also significantly amplify the demand for the R-PET industry. When we couple these dynamics with the region’s swift economic evolution, rapid urbanization, and an expanding middle-class demographic, the resulting synergy augments consumption patterns. This is particularly evident in sectors like food & beverage, which unfolds a plethora of market vistas for our initiative.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to our Business
There is substantial doubt about Sino Green Land’s ability to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, Sino Green Land incurred a net loss of $798,804 and used cash in operating activities of $ 752,278. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Sino Green Land’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, Sino Green Land’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on Sino Green Land’s June 30, 2024, audited financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Sino Green Land’s ability to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified include (i) the Company did not maintain a functioning independent audit committee and did not maintain an independent board; (ii) the Company had inadequate segregation of duties; and (iii) the Company had an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
Any major disruption at our waste treatment plants, such as a breakdown of machinery, power or utilities shortage, could adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations.
Our business is dependent on the uninterrupted operation of our waste treatment plants. If the use or efficiency of our waste treatment plants is hampered or disrupted due to power or water shortages or breakdowns, or if our machinery and equipment is damaged due to accident, fire or other natural disasters, our ability to process plastic recycle products and deliver our products in a timely manner, and thus our ability to generate revenue, may be materially affected. Furthermore, our waste treatment processes require a stable source of electricity, and there is no guarantee that the local electricity supply would be sufficiently reliable or stable for consumption at all times. If we are unable to manage or reduce periods of interruption of power supply, our waste treatment capacities at our waste treatment plants may be limited, delayed or halted, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations. Furthermore, in the case of a breakdown or failure in our machinery or equipment, suitable replacements of relevant machinery may not be readily available in the market in a timely manner or at all. Any disruptions affecting our waste treatment plants may lead to delays in fulfilling contract obligations, and our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our success is dependent on the continuous efforts of our key management and operation personnel, and we may not be able to find suitable replacement in case of loss of service of any of them.
The Company’s success also will depend in large part on the continued service of its key operational and management personnel, including executive staff, research and development, engineering, marketing and sales staff. Most specifically, including Ms. Wo Kuk Ching, our Chairman, CEO and Executive Director, Mr. Luo Xiong, our Vice president who oversees new partnerships, as well as implementation of our methodology, partnership retention, overall management and future growth. We rely on the expertise and experience of our key management personnel in developing business strategies, managing business operations and maintaining relationships with our customers. While there had been no key management and operation personnel who left us during these years, there is no assurance that there will be no such incidents in the future. If we lose the services of any of our key management personnel, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement with comparable knowledge and experience in a timely manner, and our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on foreign workers for our operations
Our Company presently operates in a labor intensive industry and we depend on foreign labor for our predominantly manual operations such as manual sorting of collected waste.
As at the date of this report, we had a total of 21 employees, out of which 9 were foreign workers. We are subject to certain approvals for employment of foreign workers and have obtained letters of approval by the Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia. As advised by our legal advisers as to Malaysia law, there is no fixed quota on the number of foreign workers we can employ or any pre-determined foreign workers to local workers ratio as mandated by the Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia as the approval for intake of foreign workers is based on the actual requirement of the employer. Such an approval is applied by the employer on an as-needed basis. As such, we can increase the quota of foreign workers as long as an application for intake of foreign workers is first submitted to, and approval for such application is obtained from, the Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia.
We have been in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations governing the employment of foreign workers in all material respects during these years. While our Directors confirmed that we had fully complied with the relevant laws and regulations relating to foreign workers in all material respects during these years, there is no assurance that the Malaysian government will not impose additional conditions or restrictions on the intake of foreign workers allowed or change the foreign worker policy or the laws and regulations relating to foreign workers, and we may not be able to replace our foreign workers with local workers, or we may have to incur additional cost for recruiting local workers. This may in turn materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations. Further, any increase in competition for foreign workers, especially skilled workers, will also increase the general labour wages paid by us to our foreign workers, which will have an adverse impact on our costs of operations and may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
8 |
We generally do not enter into long-term agreements with our customers. If we fail to retain our existing customers or attract new customers, our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We do not enter into long-term agreements with most of our customers, and our customers have no obligation to engage us again for future to purchase recycled products from us as it is the industry practice to not enter into such long-term agreements with our customers. There is no assurance that our current or future agreements, with our major customers can be negotiated on terms and prices equivalent to or more favourable than current terms and prices. If we fail to retain our existing customers or attract new customers, our revenue and profitability, which is dependent on the number and scale of recycle products that we are able to sell, may be materially and adversely affected.
Cross Border Sales Transactions
Cross-border sales transactions carry a risk of changes in import tax and/or duties related to the import and export of our product, which can result in pricing changes, which will affect revenues and earnings. Cross border sales transactions carry other risks including, but not limited to, changing regulations, wait times, customs inspection and lost or damaged product.
We will need to raise funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
We will need to seek funds soon, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favourable or if we have specific strategic considerations.
Our future growth may be limited.
The Company’s ability to achieve its expansion objectives and to manage its growth effectively depends upon a variety of factors, including the Company’s ability to further develop use of methodology, to attract and retain skilled employees, to successfully position and market the Company, to protect its existing intellectual property, to capitalize on the potential opportunities it is pursuing with third parties, and sufficient funding. To accommodate growth and compete effectively, the Company will need working capital to maintain adequate operating levels, develop additional procedures and controls and increase, train, motivate and manage its work force. There is no assurance that the Company’s personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its potential future operations.
We are dependent on third parties for the supply of raw materials.
Our continuing success depends on the availability, cost and quality of the raw materials for the Plastic recycle products. The cost of raw materials amounted to approximately MYR8.1 million, and MYR2.03 million respectively, representing approximately 77% and 53% of our cost of sales for FY2024 and FY2023 respectively. Cost of raw materials refers to cost incurred by our Company to purchase recoverable items from our suppliers, which is the key components of cost of sales attributable to the recycled products segment. The increase in cost of raw materials from MYR8.1 million in FY2024 to MYR2.03 million in FY2023 was mainly due to the sales increase and new machinery testing.
We generally do not enter into any agreements with our suppliers other than on a purchase order basis. The prices and supply of raw materials depend on factors beyond our control, including economic conditions, competition, availability of quality suppliers, production levels and transportation costs in Malaysia and Overseas. There is no assurance that there will not be such incidents in the future. If we are unable to procure the required raw materials from our suppliers in a timely manner (for example, as a result of the suspension of operations or liquidation or bankruptcy of the supplier), or if the cost of raw materials exceeds our budgeted cost, or if any of our key suppliers is unable to continue providing the raw materials we need or fail to supply the necessary raw materials at prices and on terms and conditions we consider acceptable, and we are unable to find suitable replacement of the suppliers nor pass on the additional costs to our customers, there may be a material and adverse effect on our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations.
We may not be successful in our potential business combinations.
The Company may, in the future, pursue acquisitions of other complementary businesses and technology licensing arrangements. The Company may also pursue strategic alliances and joint ventures that leverage its core products and industry experience to expand its product offerings and geographic presence. The Company has limited experience with respect to acquiring other companies and limited experience with respect to forming collaborations, strategic alliances and joint ventures.

If the Company were to make any acquisitions, it may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into its existing business and could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions the Company makes, could also result in large and immediate write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm the Company’s operating results. Integrating an acquired company also may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of the Company’s existing business.
We are required to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Arising from the operations of our Company, we are required to comply with laws and regulations applicable to, among others, workplace safety, employment of foreign workers, environment and road traffic. In the event that we fail to comply with any of the applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to penalties imposed by the authorities which include, but are not limited to, being fined and/or issued with remedial or stop-work orders which may materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations.
We are imposed to environmental liability.
Our business operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations, in particular on the emission, discharge or deposit of waste into the environment pursuant to the laws of Malaysia. Though we had no material non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, as these laws and regulations may continue to evolve, there is no assurance that we will continue to be in compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations, and we may incur additional costs in complying with such laws and regulations. Any violation of the relevant environmental laws and regulations may lead to substantial fines, clean-up costs and environmental liabilities or even suspension of operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations.
We intend to expand our capacity by capital investment in new machinery and system, which may result in an increase in depreciation expenses, plant and machinery operating costs, repair and maintenance costs and cash flow used in investing activities.
In order to secure more customers in Malaysia and overseas and expand the scale of our operations and customer base, our Directors intend to apply an aggregate of approximately MYR10 million (equivalent to approximately US$2.3 million) in capital investment in facilities, plants, machineries and/or equipment to enhance production efficiency and capacities.
As a result, our cash flow used in investing activities is expected to increase, and assuming all other things remain unchanged and such investment have been fully deployed, our depreciation expenses, plant and machinery operating costs and repair and maintenance costs will increase and this may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations.
Any further disruptions from an uptick in new infections related to COVID-19 may materially harm out business prospects.
Further upticks in infection, and the related enforcement of governmental restrictions would materially hinder our ability to grow, as it would make it could interrupt our supply chain, as well as the financial condition of our intended customer base.
We may need further financing for our existing business and future growth.
We may require additional funding for our existing business and growth plans. We have estimated our funding requirements in order to implement our growth plans.
In the event that the costs of implementing our growth plans exceed our funding estimates significantly or that we come across opportunities to grow through expansion plans which cannot be predicted at this juncture, and our funds generated from our operations prove insufficient for such purposes, we may need to raise additional funds to meet these funding requirements. We will consider obtaining such funding from new issuance of equity, debt instruments and/or external bank borrowings, as appropriate. In addition, we may need to obtain additional equity or debt financing for other business opportunities that our Group deems favourable to our future growth and prospects. Funding through the new issuance of equity may lead to a dilution in the interests of the Shareholders. An increase in debt financing may be accompanied by conditions that restrict our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek lenders’ consent for payment of dividends, or restrict our freedom to operate our business by requiring lenders’ consent for certain corporate actions. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are favourable and acceptable. If we are not able to secure adequate financing, our business and growth may be negatively affected.

Risks Related to Our Operation in Malaysia
The development of the industry we operate in is highly dependent on the Malaysian government’s environmental protection policies, which may change from time to time.
As a business operating in Malaysia, we are subject to the laws and regulations of Malaysia, which can be complex and evolve rapidly. The Malaysian government has the power to exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business, and the environmental regulations to which we are subject may change rapidly and with little notice to us or our shareholders. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of new and existing laws and regulations in Malaysia are often uncertain. In addition, these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities, and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in Malaysia may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:
● | Delay or impede our development, | |
● | Result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs, | |
● | Require significant management time and attention, and | |
● | Subject us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices. |
The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or manner in which we conduct our business and could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected as well as materially decrease the value of our common stock.
Changes in Malaysian economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, may affect our businesses and the industry we operate in.
Our major assets and business operations are located in Malaysia. Therefore, our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition and results of operations are significantly exposed to the economic, political and social conditions in Malaysia as well as government policies, which in turn may impact our customers in Malaysia who buy our recycle products from us. There is no assurance that the demand for our products in Malaysia will not decrease in the future. For instance, an economic downturn in Malaysia may lead to a decrease in the demand for our products in the market, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Further, any changes in the policies implemented by the government of Malaysia which may result in currency and interest rate fluctuations, inflation, capital restrictions, price and wage controls, expropriation and changes in taxes and duties detrimental to our business may materially affect our operations, financial performance and future growth. Unfavourable changes in the social, economic and political conditions of Malaysia or in the Malaysian government policies in the future may have a negative impact on our operations and business in Malaysia, which will in turn adversely affect the overall financial performance of our Company. In addition, Malaysia foreign exchange control may limit our ability to utilise our cash effectively and affect our ability to receive dividends and other payments from our Malaysian subsidiaries.
We are subject to currency conversion and exchange rate risk.
Since a substantial amount of our income and profit is denominated in MYR, any fluctuations in the value of MYR may adversely affect the amount of dividends, if any, payable to the Shares in S$ to our Shareholders. There is no assurance that the Malaysian government will not impose more restrictive or additional foreign exchange controls. Any imposition, variation or removal of exchange controls may lead to less independence in the Malaysian government’s conduct of its domestic monetary policy and increased exposure of the Malaysia economy to the potential risks and vulnerability of external developments in the international markets.
11 |
Furthermore, fluctuations in the value of MYR against other currencies will create foreign currency translation gains or losses and may have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial performance, financial condition and results of operations. Any imposition, variation or removal of foreign exchange controls may adversely affect the value, translated or converted into S$, of our net assets, earnings or any declared dividends. Consequently, this may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements.
We are subject to the foreign exchange legislation and regulations in Malaysia.
Local and foreign investors are subject to Foreign Exchange Administration Rules in Malaysia. The legislations in Malaysia governing exchange control are the Financial Services Act 2013 (“FSA”) and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (“IFSA”). In exercise of the power conferred by the FSA and IFSA, Bank Negara Malaysia, which is the central bank of Malaysia (“Bank Negara”), has issued Foreign Exchange Administration Notices (“FEA Notices”) which embody its general permissions and directions. The FEA Notices read together with Schedule 14 of the FSA and IFSA set out the circumstances in which the specific approval of the Bank Negara must be obtained by residents and non-residents to remit funds to and from Malaysia. The FEA Notices are reviewed regularly by Bank Negara in line with the changing environment. As at the Latest Practicable Date, foreign investors are free to repatriate capital, divestment proceeds, profits, dividends, rental, fees and interests arising from investments in Malaysia provided that the repatriation is made in foreign currency. Any future restriction by the FEA Notices on repatriation of funds may limit our ability on dividends distribution to the Shareholders from business operations in Malaysia.
However, there is no assurance that the relevant rules and regulations on foreign exchange control in Malaysia will not change. In the event that there is any adverse change in the foreign exchange rules and regulations relating to the borrowing or repatriation of foreign currency, our business and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Market for our Stock
The OTC and share value.
Our Common Stock trades over the counter, which may deprive stockholders of the full value of their shares. Our stock is quoted via the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol “SGLA”. Therefore, our Common Stock is expected to have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes, and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for our Common Stock.
Low market price
A low market price would severely limit the potential market for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is expected to trade at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain Commission rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock.
12 |
Lack of market and state blue sky laws
Investors may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market or state Blue Sky laws. The holders of our shares of Common Stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the shares available for trading on the OTC, investors should consider any secondary market for our securities to be a limited one. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding our Company in an accepted publication which permits a “manual exemption.” This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer’s balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. We may not be able to secure a listing containing all of this information. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch’s Investment Service, and Best’s Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
Accordingly, our shares of Common Stock should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.
Penny Stock Regulations
Our shares of common stock are subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, “penny stock” is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer’s net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer’s net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer’s average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.
Rule 144 Risks
Sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock. There are 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock held by affiliates that Rule 144 of the Securities Act defines as restricted securities.
These shares will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144, since we have ceased being deemed a “shell company”. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least nine months, may not sell more than 1.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
No audit or compensation committee
Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, stockholders will have to rely on our entire Board of Directors, none of which are independent, to perform these functions. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. No members of our Board of Directors are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that Board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
13 |
Security laws exposure
We are subject to compliance with securities laws, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights. We may offer to sell our shares of our Common Stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We may not seek any legal opinion to the effect that any such offering would be exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we may elect to relay upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemption, including information provided by investor themselves.
If any such offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial pre-emption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes under the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which we have relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the Commission and state securities agencies.

Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets more than $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.
15 |
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.
Dividend Policy
Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024. However, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, allowance of doubtful accounts and impairment of intangible asset and goodwill.
Our critical estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill impairments and estimations of recoverability for intangible asset. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in US dollars.
20 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) requires entities to use a five-step model to recognize revenue by allocating the consideration from contracts to performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires new disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASC 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) (COSO). Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified include (i) the Company did not maintain a functioning independent audit committee and did not maintain an independent board; (ii) the Company had inadequate segregation of duties; and (iii) the Company had an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
The material weaknesses were identified by our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the number of shares is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any date.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.
Section 78.7502 of NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful.

Section 78.751 of NRS permits a Nevada company to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Section 78.751 of NRS further permits the company to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
Section 78.752 of NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. Our Bylaws provide that we may indemnify and advance litigation expenses to our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent permitted by law, our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, and shall indemnify and advance litigation expenses to our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent required by law, our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Our obligations of indemnification, if any, shall be conditioned on receiving prompt notice of the claim and the opportunity to settle and defend the claim. We may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was our director, officer, employee or agent.
Indemnification against Public Policy
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and by laws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defence of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The effect of indemnification may be to limit the rights of the Company and the shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages and expenses against a director for breach of fiduciary duty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Sino Green Land Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $798,804 and used cash in operating activities of $752,278, result in an accumulated deficit of $2,891,559. The Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets $2,679,437, and the stockholder deficit of $560,144. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

SINO GREEN LAND CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Sino Green Land Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 6, 2008, under the name of Henry County Plywood Corporation, as successor by merger to a Virginia corporation incorporated in May 1948 under the same name. On March 17, 2009, the Company changed its name from “Henry County Plywood Corporation” to “Sino Green Land Corporation”. During 2009 to 2011, the Company was principally engaged in the wholesale distribution of premium fruits in China. In 2011, the Company was delinquent in statutory filings, and the last annual report, Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, was filed to the SEC on March 31, 2011, and the last Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011, was filed to the SEC on November 14, 2011.
On
December 30, 2019, the Eighth District Court of Clark County, Nevada granted the Application for Appointment of Custodian, to Custodian
Ventures LLC. Mr. David Lazar (“Mr. Lazar”), on behalf of the Custodian Ventures LLC, was awarded with custodianship and
appointed as sole officer and director due to the Company’s ineffective board of directors, revocation of corporate charter, and
abandonment of business. On January 7, 2020, Mr. Lazar announced the Court Order and the Change in Principal Officer through Form 8-K
filing. The filing also mentioned the change of Company’s name from “Sino Green Land Corporation” to “Go Silver
Toprich, Inc.”. On June 10, 2020, a settlement agreement was entered between the Company, Custodian Ventures, LLC, and Mr. Lazar.
Pursuant to the agreement, Custodian Ventures LLC shall dismiss its custodianship, and the Company shall resume its business operations,
and each party shall provide each other mutual release. In consideration of the release, the Company was required to pay Custodian Ventures
LLC $
Since July 2, 2020, along with the resumption of the Company’s business operations, Ms. Wo Kuk Ching (“Ms. Wo”), spouse of Mr. Luo has served as President and director of the Company, Ms. Wong Ching Wing (“Elise”), daughter of Ms. Wo has served as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and director of the Company, and Ms. Wong Erin (“Erin”), another daughter of Ms. Wo has served as Secretary of the Company, respectively. On August 31, 2020, the Company changed its name from “Go Silver Toprich, Inc.” back to “Sino Green Land Corporation”.
On December 2, 2021, Mr. Luo submitted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company to the board of directors effective June 30, 2021.
Effective from June 30, 2021, Ms. Wo serves as Chief Executive Officer, and currently holds the positions of Chief Executive Officer, President, and director of the Company, respectively.
On
June 30, 2023, Sunshine Green Land Corp. (“SGL”) acquired
On October 1, 2023, SGLA acquired SGL and all of the outstanding shares of SGL’s common stock were exchanged for shares of common stock of SGLA and shares of preferred stock of SGLA. As SGLA and SGL were under common control at the time of the share exchange, the transaction is accounted for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
Going concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. For the year
ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $
Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next nine months. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or its ability to obtain external financing, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient revenues to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be neither any assurances to that effect, nor any assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
F-6 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sales of plastic recycle products directly to customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The transfer of control is considered complete when products have been picked up by our customers or delivered to our customers. The Company recognizes revenues net of sales discount and relevant charges, and accounts for packaging, shipping and handling fees as a fulfilment cost. The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from customers in Malaysia.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and have original maturities of less than three months. The Company’s primary bank deposits are located in Malaysia.

Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ |
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible trade receivable balances. Under the allowance method, if needed, an estimate of uncollectible customer balances is made based upon specific account balances that are considered uncollectible. Factors used to establish an allowance include the credit quality and payment history of the customer. The Company did not deem it necessary to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The Company records adjustments to its inventory based on an estimated forecast of the inventory demand, taking into consideration, among others, inventory turnover, inventory quantities on hand, unfilled customer order quantities, forecasted demand, current prices, competitive pricing, and trends and performance of similar products. If the estimated net realizable value is determined to be less than the recorded cost of the inventory, the difference is recognized as a loss in the period in which it occurs. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that may not be subsequently written up. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was no write down of inventory.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Categories | Expected useful life | |
Factory building | ||
Factory equipment | ||
Office equipment | ||
Computaer and Software | ||
Leasehold improvement | ||
Motor vehicles |
Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the guidance of ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments.
F-7 |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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 before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are recognized only if it more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common 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 shares 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. At June 30, 2024, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding. At June 30, 2023, potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisted on shares of common stock related to convertible note payable, and were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that is observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of notes and loans payable approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiary maintains its books and records in their respective local currency, which consists of the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”).
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As of and for the year ended June 30, | ||||||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Year-end USD: MYR exchange rate | $ | $ | ||||||
Average USD: MYR exchange rate | $ | $ |
The MYR is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the MYR amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollars at the rates used in translation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, based on all available objective evidence, including the existence of cumulative losses, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets were not fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance.

Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, which requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that
a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any tax benefit can be recorded in the
financial statements. ASC 740 also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, classification and interest and penalties related
