Notes to the consolidated financial statements
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X relating to smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013 or any other period.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company does not have any current operations that generate revenue and has not generated any revenue since April 2006. Further, as shown on the accompanying balance sheet, the Company’s liabilities exceeded its assets by approximately $7,169,000. These circumstances, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated interim financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. The Company relies on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making required judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The significant accounting policies which the Company believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding or evaluating its reported financial results are set forth in Note 3 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC and dated April 16, 2013.
| 7 | ||
NOTE 4 – OPERATIONS
Although the Company is seeking business opportunities, as of September 30, 2013, and for over six years, it did not have any operations other than administrative operations and has not generated any revenue since April 2006.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and other sections in this Quarterly Report, should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such financial statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update these financial statements in the future.
Description of the Company
Although the Company is seeking business opportunities, as of September 30, 2013, and since April 2006, we did not have any business operations that generated revenue.
Intercomsoft Limited (“Intercomsoft”) is our wholly owned subsidiary. Although its does not currently have any operations, through April 2006, pursuant to a Contract on Leasing Equipment and Licensing Technology (the “Supply Agreement”) awarded to Intercomsoft in April 1996 by the Ministry of Economics, Republic of Moldova, Intercomsoft provided Moldova with a National Register of Population and a National Passport System. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Intercomsoft supplied all of the equipment, technology, software, materials and consumables utilized by the Government of Moldova for the production of all national passports, drivers’ licenses, vehicle permits, identification cards and other government authorized identification documents used in the Republic of Moldova. Moldova asserted that the Supply Agreement expired by its terms on April 29, 2006 and was not renewed. The non-renewal of the Supply Agreement has been disputed by Intercomsoft and is the subject of two pending legal actions. (See Part II Item 1 - Legal Proceedings).
As used in this report, unless otherwise required by the context, Trimol Group, Inc. and its subsidiary are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Company" or are implicit in the terms "we", "us" and "our".
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, our operations consisted solely of administrative activities, activities concerning exploration of potential business opportunities and those activities related to pursuing breach of contract claims against the Republic of Moldova as more fully described herein in Part II Item 1 – Legal Proceedings.
Comparison of Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not generate any revenues from operations and similarly generated no revenues in the comparable periods in 2012.
| 10 | ||
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $55,000, and were $156,000 in the comparable three month period in 2012. Such expenses totaled approximately $157,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $474,000 in the comparative period in 2012. All of such expenses consisted of general corporate and administrative expenses. The reduction in operating expenses in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, were the result of a significant reduction in the compensation accrued and due to our officers as well as a reduction in the expenses related to business development activities.
Such operating expenses resulted in a net loss from operations of approximately $55,000 and $157,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to a net loss of approximately $156,000 and $474,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
We have not generated any revenue since the first quarter of 2006. At September 30, 2013, our cash balance was approximately $7,000 which is not sufficient to fund our operating expenses for the foreseeable future.
For more than six years, we have funded our operating expenses from loans and advances provided by our Chairman of the Board and Royal HTM Group, Inc., our majority shareholder, a company owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who also serve as the two members of our Board of Directors. We are dependent upon these loans and advances to fund our future operating expenses.
None of our officers, directors or shareholders are under any obligation to provide us with any future loans or advances. However, if they do not loan or advance us funds at a time when funds are necessary, we may be forced to suspend our limited operations.
Our assets are nominal and our liabilities currently exceed our assets by approximately $7,169,000. These circumstances, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Stock Compensation Plans
There were no options to purchase shares of our common stock issued or exercised during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, and as of such date we have no options to purchase shares of our common stock issued or outstanding.
Available information
We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, in accordance therewith, file reports, proxy and information statements and other information with the SEC.

In addition, the public may read and copy materials we file with the SEC at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at its public reference room located at 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549. We will also provide copies of such material to shareholders upon written request.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by us.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. In carrying out that evaluation, management identified a material weakness (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2) in our internal control over financial reporting regarding a lack of adequate segregation of duties. Accordingly, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, our controls and procedures were not effective for the purposes described above.
| 12 | ||
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of September 30, 2013, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping and accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of individuals who have bookkeeping and accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
As we are not aware of any instance in which we failed to identify or resolve a disclosure matter or failed to perform a timely and effective review, we determined that the addition of personnel to our bookkeeping and accounting operations is not an efficient use of our very limited resources at this time and not in the interest of our shareholders.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company may become subject to lawsuits and other claims and proceedings. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations other than as follows:
The Swiss Proceeding
In March 2009, Intercomsoft commenced an action in the court of first instance in Geneva Switzerland for the appointment of an arbitration tribunal in connection with its claims against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Republic of Moldova (the “Moldovan Defendants”) seeking damages for breach of contract and an injunction to prohibit Moldova from further producing essential government documents for the Republic of Moldova including passports, driver’s licenses, permits and national identification documents, which Intercomsoft had produced from 1996-2006, pursuant to the terms of the ten year Supply Agreement (the “Swiss Proceeding”). The Swiss court granted Intercomsoft’s request to establish an ad hoc arbitration panel to hear the merits of its claims in such proceeding. Such action is pending and there can be no assurances as to its outcome.
The Moldovan Proceeding
In November 2010, the Moldovan Defendants commenced an action before the courts of Moldova claiming that the Supply Agreement was properly terminated on April 29, 2006 and seeking reimbursement of certain legal costs (the “Moldovan Proceeding”). Intercomsoft asserted a counterclaim seeking redress for various claims and damages, including interest and penalties which continue to accrue pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement. In July 2011 the District Court in Chisinau, Moldova issued a Judgment rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim for reimbursement of legal costs as unfounded, and awarded approximately $35.6 million in damages to Intercomsoft. The Moldovan Defendants appealed the decision of the Moldovan District Court to the Economic Appeal Court in Chisinau, Moldova and in December 2011 the Appeal Court partially upheld the Judgment of the District Court, similarly rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim, and reduced the damage award to Intercomsoft to approximately $20.75 million. The Moldovan Defendants further appealed the decision of the Appeal Court to the Supreme Court of Justice in Moldova. In September 2012, the Supreme Court of Justice partially upheld the judgment of the Economic Appeal Court rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim and further reduced the damage award to Intercomsoft to approximately $4 million. The Moldovan Defendants had a right to appeal that judgment if such appeal was filed on or before November 15, 2012. To date, Intercomsoft has not been notified that any further appeal was filed. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such legal action.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, see the risk factors as disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
