NOTE 2 -1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

BioNexus Gene Lab CorpCorp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on May 12, 2017. On August 23, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of BGSBionexus Gene Lab Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian corporation (Subsidiary(“BioNexus Malaysia”). The SubsidiaryBioNexus Malaysia was incorporated in Malaysia on April 7, 2015 which it then subsequently changed its name to Bionexus Gene LabMRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd. (MRNA Scientific). on September 19, 2023.


The principal office address is Unit 02 Level 8,10, Tower 8, Avenue 5, The Horizon,B, Vertical Business Suite, No. 8 Jalan Kerinchi, Bangsar South, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, our lab is located at Lab 353, Chemical Science Centre, University Science Malaysia, George Town, Penang, Malaysia. We also have a blood collection center located at 1st floor, Lifecare Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


On December 31, 2020, the Company consummated its acquisition of Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (“Chemrex”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, Chemrex and the Chemrex shareholders wherein the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Chemrex from the Chemrex shareholders in exchange for 68,487,261 shares of common stock of the Company.

The acquisition of Chemrex has been accounted for as a common control transaction as there is no change in the control over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity (i.e. Chemrex) and recognized by the receiving entity (i.e. the Company). The difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity.

The financial statements of the receiving entity report the results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period will thus comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the date the transfer is completed and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. The comparative financial statements were not adjusted retrospectively as Chemrex was not under common control during the comparative period.

The corporate structure as at September 30, 2023 is depicted below:

·

Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bionexus Gene Lab Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

·

Use of estimates

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

·

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of threeThree months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

·

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost over the following expected useful lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used are as follows:

Categories

Principal Annual Rates/Expected Useful Life

Furniture & fittings

10%

Motor vehicle




10%

Lab Equipment

10%

Office equipment

20%

Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

·

Trade receivables

 

Trade receivables arewere recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.Chemrex did charge interest to certain debtors with overdue outstanding. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accountsimpairment on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customerscustomer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustmentsadjust in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Trade balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 


·

Inventories

 

Inventories consisting of products available for sell are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks, and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the Condensed StatementsStatement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.


·

Leases

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Impairment of long-lived assets


Long-lived assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, Impairment“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant, sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the lowest level group. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.



·

Finance lease


Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Companys depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, Imputation of Interest.


·

Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholdersstockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ( (“ASC Topic 740740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclosed in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in their own jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed similar to basic earnings or loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

The Underwriter fully exercised the Over-Allotment Option on July 24, 2023.

The securities were offered by the Company pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269753), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on February 14, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on July 19, 2023.

In addition, the Company issued to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 115,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Underwriter's Warrants") at an exercise price of $4.40 per share.

The results of operations of our subsidiary, MRNA Scientific-Malaysia , with respect to its RNA screening process have been adversely impacted by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic followed by a number of prominent variants, including Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron. Although new variants are an expected part of the evolution of viruses, new variant is more aggressive, highly transmissible, vaccine-resistant, able to cause more severe disease in Malaysia. We believe that most people were reluctant to visit hospitals and clinics in view of the post Covid-19 Omicron and its subvariants for fear of transmission from other patients or medical staff. Since our RNA screening is administered at a diagnostic center, our business has been adversely affected as a result.

The results of operations for Chemrex were adversely impacted during fiscal year 2023 and the 1st quarter of 2023 as businesses of Chemrex customers especially the manufacturers had suffered significant impact. Many of them across the country saw their supply chains interrupted, demand for their products and services decline, shortages in supplies and inputs.

Recent Developments.

(iii) Public Offering and Nasdaq Listing

On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., as underwriter (the “Underwriter”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering by the Company (the “Offering”) of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, no par value, priced at a public offering price of $4.00 per share.

In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter was granted a 45-day option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 187,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $4.00 per share. The Underwriter fully exercised the Over-Allotment Option on July 24, 2023.

The securities were offered by the Company pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269753), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on February 14, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on July 19, 2023.

Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies.  


·

Basis of presentation

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP).

·

Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bionexus Gene Lab Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·

Use of estimates

In preparing these financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.


·

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost over the following expected useful lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used are as follows:

Categories

Principal Annual Rates/Expected Useful Life

Furniture & fittings

10%

Lab Equipment

10%

Office equipment

20%

Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.


·

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customers financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Trade balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

·

Inventories


Inventories consisting of products available for sell, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.


·

Impairment of long-lived assets


Long-lived assets primarily include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the lowest level group. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.


·

Finance lease


Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to



18


the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Companys depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, Imputation of Interest.


·

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

a.

Sales of goods or rendering of services

An entity shall recognize revenue associated with the transaction by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period. The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the following conditions are satisfied: -

i.

The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;



ii.

It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity;


iii.

The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and


iv.

The costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.


b.

Interest income

Interest is recognized on receipt basis.


·

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenue includes the purchase cost of retail goods for re-sale to customers and packing materials (such as boxes). It excludes purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other costs of distribution network in cost of revenues. 


·

Shipping and handling fees

Shipping and handling fees, if billed to customers, are included in revenue. Shipping ang handling fees associated with inbound and outbound freight are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distribution expenses.


·

Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.


·

Income tax expense

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.$150,000.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclosed in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax



authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in their own jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

·

Net loss per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260Earnings per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

·

Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (US$) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company maintains its books and record in a local currency, Malaysian Ringgit (MYR or RM), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective years:

Based on that evaluation, the CompanysCompany’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the CompanysCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effectivecapable in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the CommissionsCommission’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

ManagementsManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The CompanysCompany’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the CompanysCompany’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 


i)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that is in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions

and dispositions of the CompanysCompany’s assets;

 


ii)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial

statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures

are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and the board of directors; and

 


iii)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or

disposition of the CompanysCompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The CompanysCompany’s management conducted an assessment ofhad assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as ofMarch 31, 2019, September 30, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which assessment identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.reporting had improved. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that creates acould create reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify a material weakness,statements. The management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.required further improvement.

 

Management hashad concluded that ouran internal control over financial reporting hadand glad to note that a majority of our Board of Directors was made up of independent directors and the following material deficiencies:Audit Committee comprised of all independent directors since 2023, the adequacy in the monitoring of required internal controls and procedures were improving.


i)

We were unable to maintain segregation of duties within our business operations due to our reliance on a

single individual fulfilling the role of sole officer and director.


ii)

Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a

majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment

and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. 

 

While these control deficiencies did not result in any audit adjustments to our 20192023 or 20182022 interim or annual financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties. Accordingly, we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

To the extent reasonably possible, given our limited resources, our goal is, upon consummation of a merger with a private operating company, to separate the responsibilities of principal executive officer and principal financial officer, intending to relyCompany had been relying on twothree or more individuals. We will also seek to expandwere expanding our current board of directors to include additional individualsindependents willing to perform directorial functions. Since the recited remedial actions will require thatand we would hire or engage additional personnel, this material weakness may notwould be overcome in the near term due to our limited financial resources.term. Until such remedial actions cancould be realized, we willwould continue to rely on the advice of outside professionals and consultants.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. ManagementsManagement’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that permit us to provide only managementsmanagement’s report in this annual report.
