~~GigWorld~~Hapi Metaverse Inc., formerly known as ~~HotApp Blockchain~~GigWorld Inc. (the “Company” or “Group”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2012. The Company’s initial business plan was to be a financial acquisition intermediary which would serve buyers and sellers for companies that are in highly fragmented industries. Our Board determined it was in the best interest of the Company to expand our business plan. On October 15, 2014, through a sale and purchase agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of HotApp BlockChain Pte. Ltd., formerly known as HotApps International Pte Ltd (“HIP”) from Alset International Limited (“AIL”), formerly known as Singapore eDevelopment Limited. AIL is ~~presently~~ our former largest stockholder. HIP owned certain intellectual property relating to instant messaging for portable devices (referred to herein as the “HotApp Application”). On August 30, 2022, Alset International Limited entered into a stock purchase with its controlling stockholder, Alset Inc. (formerly known as Alset EHome International Inc.) in relation to the disposal of 505,341,376 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 99.69% of the total issued and paid-up share capital of the Company, to Alset Inc. After this transaction, Alset Inc. became our largest stockholder.

The HotApp Application is a cross-platform mobile application that incorporates instant messaging and ecommerce. This application can be used on any mobile platform (i.e. IOS Online or Android). The HotApp Application offered messaging and calling services for HotApp Application users (text, photo, audio); however, the messaging and calling services we offered were terminated in 2017.

In December of 2017, the Company’s name was changed from “HotApp International, Inc.” to “HotApp Blockchain Inc.” to reflect the Board of Directors’ determination that it was in the best interest of the Company to expand its activities to include the development and commercialization of blockchain-related technologies.

In 2018, one of our main developments was a broadening of our scope of planned operations into a digital transformation technology business. As a digital transformation technology business, we are committed to enabling enterprises we work with to engage in a digital transformation by providing consulting, implementation and development services with various technologies, including instant messaging, blockchain, e-commerce, social media and payment solutions. We continue to advise businesses in network marketing and brands in block chain services and mobile collaboration.

We are focused on serving business-to-business (B2B) needs in e-commerce, collaboration and supply chains. We will help enterprises and community users to transform their business model with digital economy in a more effective manner. With our platform, users can discover and build their own communities and create valuable content. Enterprises can in turn enhance the user experience with premium content, all of which are facilitated by the transactions of every stakeholder via e-commerce.

Our technology platform consists of instant messaging systems, social media, e-commerce and payment systems, network marketing platforms and e-real estate. We are focused on business-to-business solutions such as enterprise messaging and workflow. We have successfully implemented several strategic platform developments for clients, including a mobile front-end solution for network marketing, a hotel e-commerce platform for Asia and a real estate agent management platform in China. We have also enhanced our technological capability from mobile application development to include blockchain architectural design, allowing mobile-friendly front-end solutions to integrate with software platforms. Our main digital assets at the present time are our applications. We continue to strengthen our technology architecture and develop Application Development Interface (API) for collaboration partners such as network marketing back end service providers. In addition we are continuing our development activities in blockchain ~~preparing~~in order to prepare for future ~~clients~~client opportunities.

In January 2017, we entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with iGalen, a network marketing company selling health products (AIL, our former majority stockholder, was a significant stockholder of iGalen). Under the agreement, we customized a secure app for iGalen’s communication and management system. The app enables mobile friendly ~~backend~~back-end access for iGalen Inc. members, among other functions. We are continuing to improve this secure app. In particular, we intend to utilize blockchain supply logistics to improve its functions (the original iGalen app did not utilize the latest distributed ledger technology). Once the improvements to this technology are completed, and initially utilized by iGalen, We intend to then attempt to sell similar services to other companies engaged in network marketing, as members of our management have a particular experience offering services to that industry and we believe our solutions are particularly suited to that industry’s needs. This app can be modified to meet the specific needs of any network marketing company. We believe that these technologies will, among other benefits, make it easier for network marketing companies to securely and effectively manage their systems of compensation. Our current plan is to commence sales of this technology in ~~2022.~~2023.

The direct selling industry has been adopting gig economy practices and relying heavily on digital marketing technology in team development and customer engagement. We have positioned ourselves to serve the growing demand in the transformation of the direct selling industry towards the gig economy.

The Group has relied significantly on AIL, our former majority stockholder, as its principal sources of funding during the period. AIL, ~~has~~and later, our current majority stockholder, advised us not to depend solely on it for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such, financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Value Exchange International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“VEII”) pursuant to which the Company purchased 6.5 million restricted shares of VEII Common Stock from VEII for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000. The closing of the transaction occurred on April 12, 2021. ~~The Company presently owns approximately 18% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Value Exchange International Inc.~~ Pursuant to this Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was entitled to appoint one nominee to the Board of Directors of VEII. The Company appointed Mr. Lum Kan Fai as its nominee. Mr. Lum is the Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. VEII is a provider of customer-centric technology solutions for the retail industry in Hong Kong and certain regions of China and Philippines.On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chan Heng Fai, who is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder of Alset Inc., the Company’s majority stockholder. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company bought an aggregate of 7,276,163 shares of VEII. The Company presently owns approximately 38.1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Value Exchange International Inc.

In July of 2021, the Company’s indirect subsidiary HotApp International Limited incorporated Smart Reward Express Limited (“Smart Reward”) in Hong Kong. Smart Reward plans to be principally engaged in the business of developing a platform allowing small and medium sized merchants to set-up their own reward program, with the aim of creating a loyalty exchange program for participating merchants.

HotApp International Limited is the owner of 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward. The remaining 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward are held by Value Exchange Int’l (China) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VEII.

According to a report from McKinsey in October of 2016, Global report, Independent Work: Choice, Necessity and the Gig Economy, 162 million people in Europe and the United States—or 20 to 30 percent of the working-age population - engage in some form of independent work.

In March of 2023, the Company’s name was changed from “GigWorld Inc.” to “Hapi Metaverse Inc.” to reflect the Board of Directors’ determination that it was in the best interest of the Company to position itself as a Metaverse-as-a-Service (MaaS) provider, reflecting its latest strategy embracing Metaverse, A.I., and offline engagement for communities and brands.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the following entities as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, as follows:

* Smart Reward Express Limited (“Smart Reward”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 13, 2021 with an issued and paid-up share capital of HK$10,000 comprising 10,000 ordinary shares.

We believe that we have significant opportunities to further enhance the value we deliver to our users. We intend to pursue the following growth strategy:

With the focus on being a service provider, our competitiveness is strengthened by:

Our ability to execute our growth strategies is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those relating to our ability to:

Please see “Risk Factors” and other information included in this report for a detailed discussion on the above and other challenges and risks.

We believe building the following will provide us with some key competitive strengthens:

Based on our core technology infrastructure, we are building up additional functions on top of this stable and scalable infrastructure. The system architecture is designed in modular form so that we continue to add new applications modules while we are growing our customer base. In addition, we shall also be able to incorporate third party application module effectively to continue building new services to cope with the digital transformation need of direct selling industry and supporting them capitalizing on the gig economy opportunity.

We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to conduct our services, primarily the United States and certain countries in Asia, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements. Please see “Risk Factors” and other information included in this report for further discussion on the above matters.

As the beginning of 2022, we had no full time employees. We had four employees at the end of 2022, resulting from the Food and Beverage (“f&b”) business of MOC HK Limited. We expect to maintain our headcounts at current levels with moderate increases in line with business activities for the foreseeable future and if our financing permits. The Company has employees under written contracts that provide for at will termination and include confidentiality clauses.

As of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any employment arrangement with any officers, except for our Chief Executive Officer, Lee Wang Kei. Mr. Lee is paid $2,000 per month by HotApp International Limited, a subsidiary of the Company. In addition to Mr. Lee, we had one other employee at the end of 2021. We expect to maintain our headcounts at current levels with moderate increases in line with business activities for the foreseeable future and if our financing permits. The Company has employee under written contracts that provide for at will termination and include confidentiality clauses. Our largest stockholder, ~~AIL,~~Alset Inc., has provided staff without charge to our Company. We intend to outsource many functions of our business for the immediate future.

We do not maintain property insurance, business interruption insurance or general third-party liability insurance, nor do we maintain product liability or key-man insurance.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an internet website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The periodic reports and other information that the Company files with the Commission are available for inspection on the Commission’s website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Commission.

The Company maintains a website at https://www.hapimetaverse.com where you may also access these materials free of charge. We have included our website address as an inactive textual reference only and the information contained in, and that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated into and is not part of this report on Form 10-K.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the following factors and other information before deciding to invest in our Company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The report of Grassi & Co., our independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 contains an explanatory paragraph as to our potential ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, this may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Investors may be unwilling to invest in a company that will not have the funds necessary to continue to deploy its business strategies.

Failure to raise additional capital to fund future operations could harm our business and results of operations.

As reflected on our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 contained herein, we have incurred net loss since inception, and have a working capital deficit of ~~$208,399.~~$2,076,017. We will require additional financing in order to maintain our corporate existence and to implement our business plans and strategy. The timing and amount of our capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including our operational results, the need for other expenditures, and competitive pressures. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our then-existing stockholders will likely be reduced significantly. We cannot make assurances that any financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our business strategy, ongoing operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, and in turn our business, financial condition and results of operations will be significantly and adversely affected.

Management has identified a material weakness in the design and effectiveness of our internal controls, which, if not remediated could affect the accuracy and timeliness of our financial reporting and result in misstatements in our consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the preparation of our Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 conducted as part of our annual audit and preparation of our annual consolidated financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management determined that at December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had a material weakness that relates to the relatively small number of ~~staff.~~staff who have bookkeeping and accounting functions (this staff is provided by Alset Inc., our largest shareholder, at no cost to us). This limited number of staff prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

This material weakness, which remained unremediated by the Company as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, could result in a misstatement to the accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. If we do not remediate the material weakness or if other material weaknesses are identified in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or to report them on a timely basis, which could result in the loss of investor confidence and have a material adverse effect on our stock price as well as our ability to access capital and lending markets.

The Company has only had limited operations to date and requires significant additional financing to reach its projected milestones, which include further product development, product marketing and general overhead expenditures. It may be difficult for the Company to attract funding necessary to reach its projected milestones. Moreover, even if it achieves its projected milestones, the Company cannot predict whether it will reach profitable operations.

The coronavirus or other adverse public health developments could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our potential to expand our business activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and may continue to impact, the global supply of certain goods and services in ways that may impact the sale of products to consumers that we, or companies we may partner with, will attempt to make. The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive opportunities.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could directly impact the ability of our management and service providers to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations in a prompt and efficient manner. Our management has shifted to mostly working from home since March 2020, but this has had minimal impact on our operations to date. However our management’s ability to travel has been significantly limited, and limitations on the mobility of our management may slow down our ability to enter into new transactions and expand existing projects.

To date, we have not been required to expend significant resources related to employee health and safety matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a small management team, however, and the inability of any significant number of our management team to work due to illness or the illness of a family member could adversely impact our operations.

Our business is highly competitive. Competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.

We face significant competition in every aspect of our business, including from companies that provide tools to facilitate the sharing of information, companies that enable marketers to display advertising and companies that provide development platforms for applications developers. We compete with companies that offer full-featured products that replicate the range of communications and related capabilities we provide. We also compete with companies that develop applications, particularly mobile applications, that provide social or other communications functionality, such as messaging, photo- and video-sharing and micro-blogging, and companies that provide web- and mobile-based information and entertainment products and services that are designed to engage users and capture time spent online and on mobile devices. In addition, we face competition from traditional, online, and mobile businesses that provide media for marketers to reach their audiences and/or develop tools and systems for managing and optimizing advertising campaigns.

Most, if not all, of our current and potential competitors may have significantly greater resources or better competitive positions in certain product segments, geographic regions or user demographics than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to respond more effectively than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in market conditions.

Our competitors may develop products, features, or services that are similar to ours or that achieve greater acceptance, may undertake more far-reaching and successful product development efforts or marketing campaigns, or may adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Certain competitors could use strong or dominant positions in one or more markets to gain competitive advantage against us in our target market or markets. As a result, our competitors may acquire and engage users or generate revenue at the expense of our own efforts, which may negatively affect our business and financial results.

We believe that our ability to compete effectively depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

We are a development stage company and we may never generate significant revenues which could cause our business to fail.

We are a development stage company and have generated limited revenues as of the date of this Report. Since inception, the Company has incurred net loss of ~~$4,560,449~~$6,288,884 and has net working capital deficit of ~~$208,399~~$2,076,017 at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. We expect to operate with net loss for the next financial year-ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023 or longer. We cannot predict the extent of these future net losses, or when we may attain profitability, if at all. If we are unable to generate significant revenue or attain profitability, we will not be able to sustain operations and will have to curtail significantly or cease operations.

We have a limited operating history that investors can use to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company.

We were incorporated in Delaware on March 7, 2012. We have no significant financial resources and have recorded minimal revenues ~~including no revenues~~ in the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.

If we do not successfully develop new products and services, our business may be harmed.

Our business and operating results may be harmed if we fail to expand our various product and service offerings (either through internal product or capability development initiatives or through partnerships and acquisitions) in such a way that achieves widespread market acceptance or that generates significant revenue and gross profits to offset our operating and other costs. We may not successfully identify, develop and market new product and service offerings in a timely manner. If we introduce new products and services, they may not attain broad market acceptance or contribute meaningfully to our revenue or profitability. Competitive or technological developments may require us to make substantial, unanticipated capital expenditures in new products and technologies or in new strategic partnerships, and we may not have sufficient resources to make these expenditures. Because the markets for many of our products and services are subject to rapid change, we may need to expand and/or evolve our product and service offerings quickly. Delays and cost overruns could affect our ability to respond to technological changes, evolving industry standards, competitive developments or customer requirements and harm our business and operating results.

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

We depend on the services and performance of our key personnel, including Chan Heng Fai, Lee Wang Kei and Lum Kan Fai. The loss of key personnel, including members of management, could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our business.

Each of Mr. Chan, Mr. Lee and Mr. Lum are engaged in other business ventures, including other technology-related businesses. In order to successfully implement our businesses plans, we will need to recruit additional qualified personnel.

We may incur significant costs to be a public company to ensure compliance with U.S. corporate governance and accounting requirements,, and we may not be able to absorb such costs.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these costs to equal at least ~~$94,500~~$107,000 per year, consisting of $10,000 in legal, ~~$67,500~~$80,000 in audit and $17,000 for financial printing and transfer agent fees. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We may not be able to cover these costs from our operations’ revenue and may need to raise or borrow additional funds. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations.

Alset ~~International Limited~~Inc. owns a significant amount of the outstanding common stock of the Company and could take actions which other investors may deem as detrimental to the ~~Company~~.Company.

Alset ~~International Limited~~Inc. beneficially owns approximately ~~99.69%~~99.693% of the outstanding common stock of our Company as of the date of this filing. Through this ownership, this stockholder has the ability to substantially influence our board, our management, and our policies and business operations. In addition, the rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Because of this majority ownership, ~~AIL~~Alset Inc. may cause the Company to engage in business combinations without having to seeking other stockholders’ approval.

Such concentration of ownership also may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which may be to the benefit of this one stockholder but not in the interest of the other investors. Additionally, minority stockholders would not be able to obtain the necessary stockholder vote to affect any change in the course of our business. This concentration of control could prevent minority stockholders from removing from our Board directors who may be perceived as not performing at an appropriate level.

We may face liability for information displayed on or accessible via our website, and for other content and commerce-related activities, which could cause us to suffer losses.

We could face claims for errors, defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement based on the nature and content of information displayed on or accessible via our website, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Even to the extent that claims made against us do not result in liability, we may incur substantial costs in investigating and defending such claims.

Our insurance, if any, may not cover all potential claims to which we might be exposed to or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liabilities that we may incur. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage would cause us to suffer losses.

If our costs and expenses are greater than anticipated and we are unable to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to fully fund our operations and to otherwise execute our business plan.

We do not currently have sufficient funds or any agreements for additional funds, for us to continue our business for the next 12 months. Should our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a manner that will increase or accelerate our anticipated costs and expenses, the depletion of our working capital would be accelerated. To the extent it becomes necessary to raise additional cash in the future as our current cash and working capital resources are depleted, we will seek to raise it through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. We may also seek to satisfy indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities. We currently do not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital that we may require to continue our operations.

If we require additional capital and even if we are able to raise additional financing, we might not be able to obtain it on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome to the Company or disadvantageous to our existing ~~stockholders~~.stockholders.

If we require additional capital and even if we are able to raise additional cash or working capital through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or the satisfaction of indebtedness without any cash outlay through the private issuance of debt or equity securities, the terms of such transactions may be unduly expensive or burdensome to the Company or disadvantageous to our existing stockholders. For example, we may be forced to sell or issue our securities at significant discounts to market, or pursuant to onerous terms and conditions, including the issuance of preferred stock with disadvantageous dividend, voting or veto, board membership, conversion, redemption or liquidation provisions; the issuance of convertible debt with disadvantageous interest rates and conversion features; the issuance of warrants with cashless exercise features; the issuance of securities with anti-dilution provisions; and the grant of registration rights with significant penalties for the failure to quickly register. If we raise debt financing, we may be required to secure the financing with all of our business assets, which could be sold or retained by the creditor should we default in our payment obligations.

We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our services and solutions are accessible within an acceptable load time. Additionally, other catastrophic occurrences beyond our control could interfere with access to our services.

A key element to our potential growth is the ability of our users (whom we define as anyone who downloads and uses the app) in all geographies to access our services and solutions within acceptable load times. We may, in the future, experience service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, and denial of service, fraud or security attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website performance problems within an acceptable period of time. If our services are unavailable when users attempt to access them as quickly as they expect, users may seek other services to obtain the information for which they are looking, and may not return to use our services as often in the future, or at all. This would negatively impact our ability to attract new users and increase engagement of our existing users. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve mobile application performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.

Our systems are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks and other similar events. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.

We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to the growth of our business that may result from interruptions in our services as a result of system failures.

If our security measures are compromised, or if our websites are subject to attacks that degrade or deny the ability of members or customers to access our solutions, or if our member data is compromised, members and customers may curtail or stop to use our solutions.

Our applications will involve the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure and usage of members’ and customers’ information and communications, some of which may be private. We are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins, phishing attacks, attempts to overload our servers with denial-of-service or other attacks and similar disruptions from unauthorized use of our computer systems, any of which could lead to interruptions, delays, or website shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized disclosure or use of personally identifiable or other confidential information. If we experience compromises to our security that result in website performance or availability problems, the complete shutdown of our websites, or the loss or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, such as credit card information, our members or customers may be harmed or lose trust and confidence in us, and decrease the use of our website and services or stop using our services in their entirety, and we would suffer reputational and financial harm.

In addition, we could be subject to regulatory investigations and litigation in connection with a security breach or related issues, and we could also be liable to third parties for these types of breaches. Such litigation, regulatory investigations and our technical activities intended to prevent future security breaches are likely to require additional management resources and expenditures. If our security measures fail to protect this information adequately or we fail to comply with the applicable credit card association operating rules, we could be liable to both our customers for their losses, as well as the vendors under our agreements with them. In addition, we could be subject to fines and higher transaction fees, we could face regulatory action, and our customers and vendors could end their relationships with us. Any of these developments could harm our business and financial results.

Public scrutiny of internet privacy and security issues may result in increased regulation and different industry standards, which could deter or prevent us from providing our current products and solutions to our members and customers, thereby harming our business.

The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is evolving and is likely to remain in flux for the foreseeable future. Practices regarding the collection, use, storage, display, processing, transmission and security of personal information by companies offering online services have recently come under increased public scrutiny. The U.S. government, including the White House, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Commerce and many state governments, are reviewing the need for greater regulation of the collection, use and storage of information concerning consumer behavior with respect to online services, including regulation aimed at restricting certain targeted advertising practices and collection and use of data from mobile devices. The FTC in particular has approved consent decrees resolving complaints and their resulting investigations into the privacy and security practices of a number of online, social media companies. Similar actions may also impact us directly.

Our business, including our ability to operate and expand internationally or on new technology platforms, could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are adopted, interpreted, or implemented in a manner that is inconsistent with our current business practices that may require changes to these practices, the design of our websites, mobile applications, products, features or our privacy policy. In particular, the success of our business is expected to be driven by our ability to responsibly use the data that our members share with us. Therefore, our business could be harmed by any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry standards or practices regarding the storage, use or disclosure of data our members choose to share with us, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of consumers for such use and disclosure is obtained. Such changes may require us to modify our products and features, possibly in a material manner, and may limit our ability to develop new products and features that make use of the data that we collect from our members.

We will rely on outside firms to host our servers and to provide telecommunication connections, and a failure of service by these providers could adversely affect our business and reputation.

We will rely upon third party providers to host a number of our servers and provide telecommunication connections. In the event that these providers experience any interruption in operations or cease operations for any reason or if we are unable to agree on satisfactory terms for continued hosting relationships, we would be forced to enter into a relationship with other service providers or assume hosting responsibilities ourselves. If we are forced to switch hosting facilities, we may not be successful in finding an alternative service provider on acceptable terms or in hosting the computer server ourselves. We may also be limited in our remedies against these providers in the event of a failure of service. A failure or limitation of service or available capacity by any of these third-party providers could adversely affect our business and reputation.

Our products and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical, and if it contains undetected errors, our business could be adversely affected.

Our products and internal systems rely on software, including software developed or maintained internally and/or by third parties, that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our products and internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amounts of data. The software on which we rely has contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. Some errors may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors or other design defects within the software on which we rely may result in a negative experience for users and marketers who use our products, delay product introductions or enhancements, result in measurement or billing errors or compromise our ability to protect the data of our users and/or our intellectual property. Any errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software on which we rely could result in damage to our reputation, loss of users, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

A significant or prolonged economic downturn would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our results of operations are expected to be affected by the level of business activity of our users, many of whom are expected to be businesses. These businesses, in turn, can be affected by general economic conditions and the level of economic activity in the industries and markets that they serve. On an aggregate basis, our clients may be less likely to hire as many senior executives or consultants during economic downturns and periods of economic uncertainty. To the extent our clients delay or reduce hiring senior executives or consultants due to an economic downturn or economic uncertainty, our results of operations will be adversely affected. A continued economic downturn or period of economic uncertainty and a decline in the level of business activity of our clients would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any intellectual property rights we develop will be valuable and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.

Any trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights that we develop will be important assets to us. There can be no assurance that the protections provided by these intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. There are events that are outside of our control that could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. Additionally, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims in the future, which may be costly to defend, could require the payment of damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.

Companies in the Internet, technology and media industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As our product usage becomes more wide-spread, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims increases. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. An adverse determination also could prevent us from offering our products and services to others and may require that we procure substitute products or services for these members.

With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to pay damages or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating expenses. The technology also may not be available for license to us at all. As a result, we also may be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop technology for any infringing aspects of our business in the future, we may be forced to limit our product and service offerings and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results could harm our brand and operating results.

Once publicly trading, the application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

In order to approve a ~~person's~~person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made concerning the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and regarding the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Our common stock price is likely to be highly volatile which may subject us to securities litigation thereby diverting our resources which may affect our profitability and results of operation.

Once listed, due to the nature of our Company and its business, the market price for our common stock is expected to be limited and highly volatile. The following factors will add to our common stock ~~price's~~price’s volatility:

Some of these factors are beyond our control. These factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, plaintiffs have initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may be the target of similar litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

In addition, as a result of the expected volatility of our stock price, investors may be unable to resell their shares at a fair price or at a price lower than their entry price.

If a market for our common stock develops, it is expected to be limited and thinly traded, and we can provide no assurance to investors that a more robust market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our stockholders may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment.

By issuing preferred stock, we may be able to delay, defer, or prevent a change of control.

Our Articles of Incorporation permit us to issue, without approval from our stockholders, a total of 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors can determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. It is possible that our Board of Directors, in determining the rights, preferences and privileges to be granted when the preferred stock is issued, may include provisions that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interests and similar matters.

We have not yet adopted any corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our Board of Directors as we presently have only one independent director. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our Board of Directors. It is possible that if our Board of Directors included additional independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on our common stock’s market price.

The trading market for our common stock in the future may depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect our common stock’s market price, if any. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regularly reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Since ~~some~~ members of our board of directors are not residents of the United States and certain of our assets are located outside of the United States, you may not be able to enforce a U.S. judgment for claims you may bring against such directors or assets.

~~Several members~~Members of our senior management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have their primary residences and business offices in Asia, and a portion of our assets and a substantial portion of the assets of these directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult for you to enforce a lawsuit within the United States against these non-U.S. residents than if they were residents of the United States. Also, it may be more difficult for you to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against our assets or the assets of our non-U.S. resident management located outside the United States than if these assets were located within the United States. We cannot assure you that foreign courts would enforce liabilities predicated on U.S. federal securities laws in original actions commenced in such foreign jurisdiction, or judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.

Our US office is located at 4800 Montgomery Lane, Suite 210, Bethesda MD 20814. We occupy one office at this location free of rent based on a month-to-month arrangement with an affiliate of ~~AIL,~~Alset Inc., the Company’s largest stockholder.

The Company is not a party to any proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated.

There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, or any beneficial owner of record of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, office, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Presently, there is no established public trading market for our shares of common stock. On June 9, 2015, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), cleared the Company’s request under Rule 15c2-11 for an unpriced quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and in OTC Link under the symbol HTPN. Since that time, through the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not had any trading in its stock. The Company’s stock symbol is now GIGW ~~to reflect~~and the Company’s new ~~name.~~name has been change to Hapi Metaverse Inc.

Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

On July 30, 2018, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of our shares by employees, directors and certain consultants to the Company, in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company. The Plan provides for the grant of options and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards. Subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Plan, 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company have been reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan. The Plan will be administered by the Company’s Board of Directors. This Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors. The Plan was approved by the stockholder holding a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Recent sales of unregistered securities; use of proceeds from registered securities

On ~~March 27, 2017,~~December 20, 2018, the ~~Company sold 500,988,889~~Board of Directors of AIL announced its intention to sell up to 3,200,000 shares of ~~common stock to AIL in exchange for the conversion of $450,890 of debt owed by~~ the Company to ~~AIL~~independent third parties at ~~a conversion price~~US$0.50 per share for an aggregate cash consideration of ~~$0.0009 per share.~~up to US$1,600,000. The ~~issuance~~purpose of ~~these shares~~this proposed sale was ~~completed in accordance with~~to raise funds to continue to support the ~~exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2)~~general corporate and working capital of the ~~Securities Act~~Company, including but not limited to the operating costs of ~~1933,~~the Company. During 2021, AIL has sold 1,449,200 shares of the Company to independent third parties, and AIL owned 99.693% of the Company after such transactions. On August 30, 2022, Alset International Limited entered into a stock purchase with its controlling stockholder, Alset Inc. (formerly known as ~~amended.~~Alset EHome International Inc.) in relation to the disposal of 505,341,376 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 99.69% of the total issued and paid-up share capital of the Company, to Alset Inc. After this transaction, Alset Inc. became our largest stockholder.

During the period covered by this report, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ~~2021~~2022 COMPARED TO

consists primarily of the services rendered to customers in the amount of $28,143. The Company ~~had no~~began generating revenue ~~during~~from a project providing AI chatbot services to Value Exchange Int’l (Hong Kong) Limited, a related company of the ~~years~~company and a subsidiary of VEII located in Hong Kong, on a monthly basis in 2022. And revenue also generated from f&b business after acquired MOC on 5 October, 2022 was $41,772. Total revenues were $69,915 and $0, respectively, for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of outside service fees incurred directly to the project. Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $9,151 and $0, respectively. And the cost from f&b revenue were $19,093 and $0 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, of which $4,821 and $0 were depreciation for leasehold improvement respectively. Total cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $28,244 and ~~2020 were $0.~~$0

Operating expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits, professional fees, consulting expenses and maintenance expenses of existing software framework. We expect to maintain our ~~general and administrative~~operating expenses with moderate changes in line with business activities. Total ~~general and administrative~~operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $411,562 and ~~2020 were $175,629 and $88,155,~~$172,370, of which $1,524 and $277 were depreciation expenses and $16,894 and $0 were ~~depreciation expenses,~~amortization of right-of-use assets, respectively. The increase was mainly due to the increase in consulting expenses for the exploration of new project and new market.

For the years ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we have incurred ~~$(45,543)~~$62,677 and ~~$38,809~~($45,543) in foreign exchange ~~(loss)~~ gain $7(loss), $11 and $4$7 in interest income, ~~$32,500~~$0 and $0$32,500 in dividend income, ($1,427,094) and $1,300,000 ~~and $0~~ in unrealized (loss) gain on securities investment, and ~~$(7,800)~~$0 and $0($7,800) in withholding federal tax respectively. ~~The $1,300,000 was the unrealized gain from the securities investment made in 2021.~~

At December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had cash of ~~$245,780~~$514,260 and a working capital deficit of ~~$208,399.~~$2,016,821. The ~~decrease~~increase in the working capital deficit during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was due to the increase in the ~~fair value~~amount due to related parties.

~~We had~~$1,875,788 and an accumulated deficit of $6,288,884 as of December 31, 2022 compared with a total stockholders’ deficit of $206,584 and an accumulated deficit of $4,560,449 as of December 31, ~~2021 compared with a total stockholders’ deficit of $1,389,730 and an accumulated deficit of $5,666,250 as of December 31, 2020.~~2021. This difference is primarily due to the net ~~income earned~~loss incurred during the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $1,728,020, excluded loss from discontinued operations $648.

We had net cash used in operating activities of $402,687 for the year ended December 31, 2022. We had a negative change of $1,540 due to prepaid expenses and $114,620 due to security deposit and other receivable and a positive change of $13,904 due to accounts payable and accrued expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a net income of ~~$1,103,535.~~$1,106,794, excluded the loss from discontinued operations $3,259.

We had net cash used in operating activities of $201,492 for the year ended December 31, 2021. We had a negative change of ~~$1,870~~$1,300,000 due to unrealized (gain) on security investment, $523 due to prepaid expenses and $3,434 due to security deposit and other receivable and a negative change of $3,434 due to accounts payable and accrued expenses.

~~For~~In the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2022, we ~~recorded a net loss of $49,342.~~

We had net cash ~~generated from operating~~used in investing activities of ~~$50,140 for the year ended December 31, 2020.~~$1,817,956. We had ~~a positive change~~used $1,743,735 in the purchase of ~~$100,000 due to promissory note~~securities investment, used $70,523 in the acquisition of ~~a related party~~MOC and ~~a negative change~~used $3,698 in the purchase of ~~$518 due to accounts payable~~property and ~~accrued expenses.~~

equipment. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash used in investing activities of $651,990. We had used $650,000 in the purchase of securities investment and used $1,990 in the purchase of property and equipment. In

had net cash provided by financial activities of $2,568,604, of which $2,568,604 was due to advances from related parties. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash provided by financial activities of $893,589, of which $892,945 was due to advances from related parties and $644 was due to subsidiary’s issuance of stock. ~~For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had net cash provided by financial activities of $94,568 due to advances from related parties.~~

We will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from ~~AIL~~our largest shareholder or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on a term that is acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial and operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business and pursue our business plan.

Consistent with Section 144 of Delaware General Corporation Law, it is our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, are approved by vote of the stockholders, or are fair to us as corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board. We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis.

Our discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and income taxes. These policies require that we make estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of a given date.

Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Accounting Standards Codification ~~("ASC"~~(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("(“ASC ~~606"~~606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the ~~entity's~~entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements but we expanded our disclosures related to contracts with customers below.

Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services or catering service to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services or catering service, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers over control of the promised goods or services or catering service to its customers. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.

The Company began generating revenue from f&b business by providing quality catering service and a project providing services to Value Exchange Int’l (Hong Kong) Limited, a subsidiary of Value Exchange International, Inc.(“VEII”) located in Hong Kong, on a monthly basis in 2022. VEII is a related party of the Company. Upon receipt of purchase order from this customer, we issue the corresponding invoice and provide the service accordingly. Any payment received from this customer in advance is presented within other payables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021, ~~or 2020,~~ respectively.

The Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with pursuant to which the Company purchased 6,500,000 and 7,276,163 shares of Value Exchange International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“VEII”) on April 8, 2021 and October 17, 2022 respectively, which are recorded in fair value of $2,341,948 at the end of the year. $1,427,094 unrealized loss are recognized for the year 2022.

As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rule.

~~GIGWORLD~~HAPI METAVERSE INC. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ~~HOTAPP BLOCKCHAIN~~GIGWORLD INC.)

~~GigWorld~~Hapi Metaverse Inc., formerly ~~HotApp Blockchain,~~GigWorld Inc. (the “Company” or “Group”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2012 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. The Company’s business is focused on serving business-to-business (B2B) needs in e-commerce, collaboration and social networking functions.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses of ~~$4,560,449~~$6,288,884 and has net working capital deficit of ~~$208,399~~$2,016,821 at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Management has concluded that due to the conditions described above, there is a substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern through March ~~15, 2023.~~29, 2024. We have evaluated the significance of the conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and believe that our current cash balance along with our current operations will not provide sufficient capital to continue operations through ~~2022.~~2023. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, management of operating expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

Our majority stockholder has advised us not to depend solely on it for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such, financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than ~~50%~~50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

* Smart Reward Express Limited (“Smart Reward”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 13, 2021 with an issued and paid-up share capital of HK$10,000 comprising 10,000 ordinary shares.

HotApp International Limited is the owner of ~~50%~~50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward. The remaining ~~50%~~50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward are held by Value Exchange Int’l (China) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VEII.

HotApp International Limited holds 5,000 shares of Smart Reward, representing 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward. HotApp International Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HotApp BlockChain Pte. Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ~~GigWorld~~Hapi Metaverse Inc. The remaining 5,000 shares of Smart Reward, representing 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Smart Reward, are held by Value Exchange Int’l (China) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Value Exchange International Inc. ~~GigWorld~~Hapi Metaverse Inc. owns ~~18%~~38.1% and 18% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Value Exchange International ~~Inc.~~Inc as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Accordingly, the Company in total holds more than ~~50%~~50% of Smart Reward, and ~~Swart~~Smart Reward is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

HotApp BlockChain Pte. Ltd. is the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of HCHK. This business was acquired on September 5, 2022.

Hapi Cafe Ltd. is the owner HCCN. This business was acquired on October 10, 2022.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, cost and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 (FASB ASC Topic 842) in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly fixed lease payments.

Because of its foreign operations, the Company holds cash in non-US dollars. As of December 31,2022, cash of the Group includes, on an as converted basis to US dollars, $359,266, and $10,719, in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively. As of December 31, 2021, cash of the Group includes, on an as converted basis to US dollars, ~~$86,398,~~$86,398, and ~~$10,757,~~$10,757, in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively. ~~As of December 31, 2020, cash of the Group include, on an as converted basis to US dollars, $24,448, and $122,671, in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively.~~

The Company account for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses from fair value changes recognized in net income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized (such as removal, and restoration costs). When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Although the cash at each particular bank in the United States is insured up to ~~$250,000~~$250,000 by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Group is exposed to risk due to its concentration of cash in foreign countries. The Group places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Accounting Standards Codification ~~("ASC")~~ 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("(“ASC ~~606"~~606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the ~~entity's~~entity’s contracts to provide goods or services or catering service to customers. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective ~~method to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018 and the~~method. The adoption did not have a material effect on our ~~consolidated~~ financial ~~statements but we expanded our disclosures related to contracts with customers below.~~statements.

Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services or catering service to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers over control of the promised goods or services or catering service to its customers. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are expensed as ~~incurred when~~incurred.

The Company began generating revenue from f&b business by providing quality catering service and a project providing services to Value Exchange Int’l (Hong Kong) Limited, a subsidiary of Value Exchange International, Inc.(“VEII”) located in Hong Kong, on a monthly basis in 2022. VEII is a related party of the ~~amortization period~~Company. Upon receipt of purchase order from this customer, we issue the corresponding invoice and provide the service accordingly. Any payment received from this customer in advance is ~~less than one-year.~~presented within other payables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

~~Based on our~~ contracts, we normally invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, ~~and~~ Hong Kong and Mainland China are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$) ~~and~~, Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Chinese Yuan (CN ¥), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s entities with functional currency of ~~Renminbi,~~Singapore Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar and ~~Singapore Dollar,~~Chinese Yuan, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss).

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from a translation loss of $(15,843) in the consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from a translation gain of ~~$78,967~~$78,963 in the consolidated financial statements. ~~For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from a translation loss of $68,068 in the consolidated financial statements.~~

Comprehensive income (loss) includes gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there are no potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

On December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were ~~$(1,618)~~($1,851) and ~~$0,~~($1,618), respectively.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The composition of assets and liabilities included in discontinued operations was as follows:

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that align with the Company’s plans, namely, starting the f&b business in Asia. Starting an f&b business in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan can be an excellent opportunity due to the large consumer market, diverse food culture, high demand for international cuisine, favorable business environment, skilled labor force, and opportunities for growth. On October 4, 2022, The Company has completed its first f&b business acquisition of MOC HK Limited, a f&b business started in Hong Kong. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from its acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition is initially allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated acquisition date fair values. The recorded amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to 12 months from the acquisition date.

As a result of the acquisition of MOC, goodwill of $60,343 generated in a business combination represents the purchase price of $70,523 in excess of identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Instead they are reviewed periodically for impairment.

The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.

The table below reflects the Company’s estimates of the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2022 acquisition

The following table summarizes changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2022

The Company has operating leases for its f&b stores and warehouse in Hong Kong . The related lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Since the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined, management uses a discount rate based on the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases are 1.8 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of the 5.38%.

The current portion of operating lease liabilities and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented on the balance sheets. Total lease expenses amounted to $18,535 and $0 which was included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total cash paid for operating leases amounted to $16,994 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and ,2021, respectively.

On January 27, 2023, the Company and American Wealth Mining Corp. (“AWMC,” and together with the Company, the “Lenders”) entered into a Convertible Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Value Exchange International, Inc. (“Value Exchange”), a Nevada corporation. The Credit Agreement provides Value Exchange with a maximum credit line of $1,500,000 (“Maximum Credit Line”) with simple interest accrued on any advances of the money under the Credit Agreement at 8%. The principal amount of any advance of money under the Credit Agreement (each being referred to as an “Advance”) is due in a lump sum, balloon payment on the third annual anniversary of the date of the Advance (“Advance Maturity Date”). Accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance is due and payable on a semi-annual basis with interest payments due on the last business day of June and last business day of December of each year. A Lender may demand that any portion or all of the unpaid principal amount of any Advance as well as accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be paid by shares of Value Exchange Common Stock in lieu of cash payment.

Value Exchange must request Advances from the Lenders. Either Lender may elect to separately, fully fund the Advance, or both Lenders may jointly elect to fund the Advance based on Lenders’ agreement on the portion of the Advance to be funded by each Lender. Lenders may severally or jointly reject any request for an Advance and neither Lender has an obligation to fund any Advance under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the Company will determine how much to loan to Value Exchange pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement grants conversion rights to each Lender. Each Advance shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Value Exchange Common Stock at the option of the Lender who made that Advance (being referred to as a “Conversion”), at any time and from time to time, at a price per share equal the “Conversion Price” (as defined below). The Conversion Price for a Conversion shall be the average closing price of the Value Exchange Common Stock for the three (3) consecutive trading days prior to date of the Notice of Conversion. The Lenders shall also have certain conversion rights upon a change of control of Value Exchange, or a breach of the Credit Agreement by Value Exchange.

In the event that a Lender elects to convert any portion of an Advance into shares of Value Exchange Common Stock in lieu of cash payment in satisfaction of that Advance, then Value Exchange would issue to the Lender five (5) detachable warrants for each share of Value Exchange Common Stock issued in a Conversion (“Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the Lender to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the Conversion Price. The exercise period of each Warrant will be five (5) years from date of issuance of the Warrant.

Our Chairman, Chan Heng Fai, and another member of our Board of Directors, Lum Kan Fai, are both members of the Board of Directors of Value Exchange. In addition to Mr. Chan, two other members of the Board of Directors of our majority stockholder, Alset Inc., are also members of the Board of Directors of Value Exchange (Mr. Wong Shui Yeung and Mr. Wong Tat Keung).

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of our Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 conducted as part of our annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective for those reasons set forth below.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgment and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, management determined that the Company did not maintain effective controls over financial reporting due to limited ~~staff. This limited number of~~ staff ~~prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.~~with U.S. GAAP and SEC Reporting experience. Management determined that the ineffective controls over financial reporting constitute a material weakness.

This annual report filed on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

We continue taking steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to completely remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint qualified personnel to establish an audit committee with financial accounting, GAAP, and SEC experience.

The varying business experience of each of our directors led to the conclusion that each such party should be a member of our Board of Directors. The minimum number of directors we are authorized to have is one and the maximum is eight. In no event may we have less than one director.

Directors on our Board of Directors are elected for one-year terms and serve until the next annual security holders’ meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until a successor has been elected and qualified. All officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board. Currently, directors receive no compensation for their services on our Board.

All directors will be reimbursed by us for any accountable expenses incurred in attending ~~directors'~~directors’ meetings provided that we have the resources to pay these fees. We will consider applying for officers and directors’ liability insurance at such time when we have the resources to do so.

Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, our Board of Directors intends to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers and employees. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. We believe that we will need a minimum of three independent directors to have effective committee systems.

No family relationship exists between any director, executive officer, or any person contemplated to become such.

In light of the relationships between certain members of our Board and our majority stockholder, ~~only one~~none of the members of our ~~directors, Mr. Sanjib Kalita, may~~management can be deemed to be independent. Our board of directors has voluntarily adopted the corporate governance standards defining the independence of our directors imposed by the NASDAQ Capital ~~Market's~~Market’s requirements for independent directors pursuant to Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

None of the members of our management work for the Company on a full-time basis. Both our Executive Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer are employed by our largest stockholder, Alset International Limited, formerly known as Singapore Development Limited, and their services are being temporarily provided to us at no cost. Certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each ~~officer's~~officer’s understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.

We will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.

We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

We currently do not have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We intend to adopt one in the immediate future.

The following table presents summary information regarding the total compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of the named executive officers for services rendered to us for the calendar years ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Credit Agreement provides VEII with a maximum credit line of $1,500,000 (“Maximum Credit Line”) with simple interest accrued on any advances of the money under the Credit Agreement at 8%. The principal amount of any advance of money under the Credit Agreement (each being referred to as an “Advance”) is due in a lump sum, balloon payment on the third annual anniversary of the date of the Advance (“Advance Maturity Date”). Accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance is due and payable on a semi-annual basis with interest payments due on the last business day of June and last business day of December of each year. A Lender may demand that any portion or all of the unpaid principal amount of any Advance as well as accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be paid by shares of VEII Common Stock in lieu of cash payment.

VEII must request Advances from the Lenders. Either Lender may elect to separately, fully fund the Advance, or both Lenders may jointly elect to fund the Advance based on Lenders’ agreement on the portion of the Advance to be funded by each Lender. Lenders may severally or jointly reject any request for an Advance and neither Lender has an obligation to fund any Advance under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the Company will determine how much to loan to VEII pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement grants conversion rights to each Lender. Each Advance shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of VEII Common Stock at the option of the Lender who made that Advance (being referred to as a “Conversion”), at any time and from time to time, at a price per share equal the “Conversion Price” (as defined below). The Conversion Price for a Conversion shall be the average closing price of the VEII Common Stock for the three (3) consecutive trading days prior to date of the Notice of Conversion. The Lenders shall also have certain conversion rights upon a change of control of VEII, or a breach of the Credit Agreement by VEII.

In the event that a Lender elects to convert any portion of an Advance into shares of VEII Common Stock in lieu of cash payment in satisfaction of that Advance, then VEII would issue to the Lender five (5) detachable warrants for each share of VEII Common Stock issued in a Conversion (“Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the Lender to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the Conversion Price. The exercise period of each Warrant will be five (5) years from date of issuance of the Warrant.

Alset Inc. is our largest stockholder. Our Chairman, Chan Heng Fai, is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and majority stockholder of Alset Inc. Our Chief Financial Officer, Lui Wai Leung Alan, is also the Co-Chief Financial Officer of Alset Inc.
