Worldwide Demand for Weekend Family Farms
Family Weekend Farming is growing in popularity across the world. Countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia have established small-scale agricultural production spaces early on, focusing on urban residents’ close proximity to farming and farming villages in urban or rural areas. Based on this, they have systematically developed functions of providing rest areas and children’s education centers as well as mental and physical health. The names of these types of spaces are also called differently depending on the history and culture of each country. England is called ‘Allotmentgarden’ and means ‘a divided garden’. And Germany means ’small garden’ because it is ‘Klingarten’. It originated from the Russian era when Russia granted land in the name of ‘Dacha’, meaning ‘to share’. Japan accepts the concept of Kleingarten in Germany and calls it a “citizen farm.” In addition, Japan clarifies the definition of citizen farm concept through the Citizen Farm Improvement Promotion Act, and actively expands and distributes it to foster national sentiment, maintain health, and preserve farmland. In Korea, there are already “weekend farms” outside the city however, compared with the forms still being done in these foreign countries, it is only a beginning stage. Until now, this type of facilities in foreign countries had been referred to as “national farms,” “weekend farms,” “leisure farms,” and “hobby farms,” but the term “family farms” was deemed to be the most appropriate rather than weekend farms.
Weekend family farms were divided into three types: urban, suburban, and stay-type family farms. Among the three types, urban and suburban types are mainly focused on improving the welfare of urban residents, such as providing rest areas and the venue for children’s spaces, but the focus is on revitalizing rural communities by promoting urban and rural exchanges. In the case of stay-type, there is a limit to being established as a social welfare concept because it is a project designed to attract urban residents to revitalize rural areas.
The Size of the California and United States Weekend Family Farming Market is relatively new in execution and concept. Therefore, HIGR Family Weekend Farm is uniquely positioned to monetize the growth if this sector and become a strong leader in these emerging areas of

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Hi-Great Group Holding Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hi-Great Group Holding Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023

Hi-Great Group Holding Company (the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise that was originally incorporated, on September 30, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada.

On March 15, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.

into a stock purchase agreement whereby they transferred

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.
F-7
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as topic 606 (“ASC 606”). The revenue recognition standard in ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue as performance obligations, defined in a contract with a customer as goods or services transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration, are satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgments employed in the determination of revenue. The Company is involved in Agritourism and sells herbal supplements. The Company sells herbal supplements it buys directly from SellaCare, Inc. and sells those supplements using the SellaCare brand. SellaCare, Inc is a company that is controlled by the Company’s majority shareholder.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of sales includes all direct expenses incurred
to produce the revenue for the period. This includes, but is not limited to, product cost and shipping. Cost of goods sold are recorded
in the same period as the resulting revenue. The company pays a sales based royalty payment of
Leases
The Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, “Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 Leases (ASC 842)” using the modified retrospective basis for all agreements existing as of January 1, 2019 as described further below under Accounting Standards Adopted.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all financing and operating leases with terms greater than twelve months. The lease liability is measured based on the present value of the lease payments not yet paid. The right-of-use asset is measured based on the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any direct costs incurred upon commencement of the lease. The right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are tested for impairment in a manner consistent with the other long-lived assets held by the Company.
Stock-based Compensation
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable estimates the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
F-8
Income taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than fifty percent (
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting applicable pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 – PREFERRED STOCK

The Board is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series. The Board is also authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series than outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.
Currently, no preferred shares have been designated.
NOTE 6 – OPERATING LEASE
On February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU introduces a new leasing model for both lessees and lessors. Topic 842 provides guidance in how to identify whether a lease arrangement exists. Management has evaluated its leasing arrangement and has classified it as operating lease.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
We have had no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with our Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as of December 31, 2023, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d- 15 (f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, and concluded that it is not effective because of the material weakness described below:
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to resource constraints, material weaknesses became evident to management regarding our lack of resources and segregation of duties. The Company has not established an audit committee and lacks documentation of its internal control process. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level the risk that material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
9
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to recruit additional professionals, as our business conditions warrant, to ensure that we include all necessary disclosure in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that these corrective steps will enable management to conclude that the internal controls over our financial reporting are effective when the staff is in place and trained, we cannot provide assurance that these steps will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in internal control.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
ITEM 9B.
On November 19, 2021, High-Great Group Holding Company (the “Registrant”) decided to dismiss MICHAEL GILLESPIE & ASSOCIATES, PLLC as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm. The reason for the dismissal of MICHAEL GILLESPIE was due to difficulty in working with him that cause unreasonable delay and several amendments to the previously filed 10Qs. On November 19, 2021, the Company engaged M.S. Madhava Rao as its independent accountant to provide auditing services for going forward for the Company. Prior to such engagement, the Company had no consultations with M.S. Madhava Rao. The decision to hire M.S. Madhava Rao was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The disagreement between the Registrant and MICHAEL GILLESPIE & ASSOCIATES on a matter related to accounting principles or practices was resolved to the satisfaction of Mr. Rao.

11
Term of Office
Directors serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve for one (1) year until the meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than our officers.
Family Relationships
Alex Jun Ho Yang and Ho Soon Yang are husband and wife. We expect, as the Company grows to bring in additional unrelated officers and or directors to the Company.
Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five (5) years, none of the following occurred with respect to one of our present or former directors or executive officers: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two (2) years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Director Independence
We use the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Under such definitions, we have no independent directors. However, our Common Stock is not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”), to file initial statements of beneficial ownership of securities and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of securities with respect to the company’s equity securities with the SEC. All Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all reports that such Reporting Persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a).
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our board of directors, handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors, we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.
