NOTE3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

·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 periodrs reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

·Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

·Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and 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.

 

   July 31, 2014   October 31, 2013 
Bank balances held by financial institutions located in:          
Malaysia  $3,165,085   $515,023 
Hong Kong   13    10,433 
The PRC   113,201    132,231 
    3,278,299    657,687 
Cash on hand in Malaysia   495    1,960 
   $3,278,794   $659,647 

 

As of July 31, 2014, the restricted amount of cash held by our PRC subsidiary in China was $113,201.

 

As of October 31, 2013, the restricted amount of cash held by our PRC subsidiary in China was $132,231.

 

·Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

·Advances to suppliers

 

The Company generally makes advanced payments to suppliers for the purchase of its castor oil seeding in the normal course of business. Advances to suppliers are recorded when payment is made by the Company and relieved against inventory when goods are received. The advance payments to suppliers may include provisions that set the purchase price and delivery date of raw materials. Advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

 

To date, all castor oil seeding relating to these advances have not delivered and the Company has considered for any estimated losses resulting from such non-delivery. The Company will take further actions and exhaust all means of collection of such advances, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. At July 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $891,555 and $441,953, respectively.

·Properties, plant and equipment

 

Properties and plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

 

Categories   Location of properties   Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land   Palm oil plantation in Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Leasehold land under development   Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia   Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development   Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building   Land portion of 15 story buildings “Menara CMY” in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia Indefinite, as per property titles
Building structure and improvements   Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, including: 12 story building “Megan Avenue” and 15 story building “Menara CMY”   33 years
Office furniture and equipment       3-10 years
Motor vehicle       5 years

 

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. 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 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 reporting unit level. 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 periods presented.

 

The Company has complied with the technical requirements for issuance of a development order to develop its land. The Company expects the approval to be made available when the new Selangor state government is formed, hopefully within the next 12 months.

 

The Company has separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $176,811 and $17,680, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $523,499 and $48,535, respectively.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of July 31, 2014, there was no such capitalized interest.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

The Company capitalizes leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. The Company allocates these costs to individual tenant leases and amortizes them over the related lease term.

·Finance leases

 

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 Company’s 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

 

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC 985-20 with respect to revenue generated in connection with software sales and ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Company’s sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

 

(a) Software sales

 

The Company generally sells the software products in an arrangement that is bundled with maintenance and support service and/or website development service, based upon the customers’ specification or modification.

 

The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. For the billed software product sales, the revenue from the undelivered element is included in deferred revenue and amortized ratably to revenue over its contractual term, typically one year.

 

Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.

 

Revenues from the provision of website development service including website design and development are recognized upon the ownership and operating rights of website domain are transferred to the customers.

 

Revenues from the provision of maintenance and support service are recognized when service rendered, which consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. The Company generally offers maintenance and support service to its customers for a period of twelve months, free of charge or at a monthly fixed fee. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance from the customers of delivering maintenance and support service is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when the related service is rendered.

 

(b) Plantation sales

 

The Company offers two types of plantation products comprising of palm oil products and castor products.

 

Revenue from the sale of palm oil product is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of fresh fruit bunches and shipment to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from castor products includes sale of seeding and rendering of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement. The Company adopts ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” and recognizes revenue as services are performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service offering has been delivered to the client; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.

 

A bundled sale arrangement involves multiple deliverables provided by the Company, where bundled service deliverables are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.

The Company’s multi-element arrangements generally include two deliverables. The first deliverable is castor oilseeds delivered at the time of sale. The second deliverable is rendering of technical know-how service to plant the castor oilseeds when the principal terms of the service agreement are fulfilled and the certificate of satisfaction is confirmed by the customers.

 

The Company uses a hierarchy to determine the allocation of revenues to the deliverables. The hierarchy is as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”).

   
(i) VSOE generally exists only when a company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable. Generally the Company does not sell the deliverables separately and, as such, does not have VSOE.
   
(ii) TPE can be substantiated by determining the price that other parties sell similar or substantially similar offerings. The Company does not believe that there is accessible TPE evidence for similar deliverables.
   
(iii) BESP reflects the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of elements would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company believes that BESP is the most appropriate methodology for determining the allocation of revenue among the multiple elements.

 

The Company has allocated revenues between these two deliverables using the relative selling price method which is based on the estimated selling price for all deliverables. Revenues allocated to the delivered castor oilseeds and are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for recognition of revenues have been met. Revenues allocated to the rendering of technical know-how service are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the service, which currently is 6-12 months.

 

(c) Rental income

 

The Company generally leases the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. During the first quarter, the Company signed a twenty year lease covering the majority of its 15 story building. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, we have recorded $1,485,341 and $60,076 in lease revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

 

As of July 31, 2014, the commercial buildings for lease are as follows:

 

Name of Commercial building

Number of units

(by floor)

Footage area

(square feet)

Vacancy percentage
Megan Avenue 12 19,987 33%
Menara CMY 15 91,848 0%

 

We expect to record approximately $2.2 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through July 31, 2015.

 

The Company leases store location and office spaces to the tenants under operating lease arrangements. The Company receives rental income from the real estates it owns for a stated period of times. Rental income is recognized over the life of the operating lease agreement as it is earned in the period under ASC Topic 970-605. The typical leases contain initial terms of two years with renewal options and do not contain escalating rent amounts. Rent concessions are recognized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease.

 

The Company also records operating costs directly attributable to the leasing properties, such as real estate taxes, depreciation of the leased properties and property management fees, which are charged to expense when incurred.

 

For leases classified as operating, the Company’s lessee records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term, including renewal options, taking into consideration of rent holidays or any rent concessions.

All costs are expensed off when the software products and its related website domain are transferred to the customer.

 

Cost of revenue on sales of luxury consumer products primarily consists of the purchase cost of luxury consumer products.

 

Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

Rental expenses shown on the accompanying statements of operations include costs associated with on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants. 

 

·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 comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

·Income taxes

 

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 periods 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 disclose 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 the PRC and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authorities.

 

·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 reporting 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”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), 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 within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

·Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

·Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended July 31, 2014, the Company operates in four reportable operating segments in Malaysia and China.

 

·Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, deferred revenue, income tax payable, amount due to a director, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

·Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

(c)Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

(Unaudited)

 

(d) Interest rate risk

 

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

 

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from bank loans and finance leases. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of July 31, 2014, bank loans and finance leases were at fixed rates.

 

(e) Exchange rate risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and RMB, and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR and RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$, MYR and RMB. If MYR and RMB depreciates against US$, the value of MYR and RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

(f) Economic and political risks

 

Substantially all of the Company’s services are conducted in Malaysia and Asian region. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Malaysia. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations in Malaysia.

 

NOTE14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

(a) Operating lease commitment

 

The Company leases certain office premises under operating leases among its subsidiary companies that expire at various dates through 2014. The leases, which cover periods from one to two years, generally provide for renewal options at specified rental amounts.

 

Aggregate rent expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 were $0 and $2,397. Aggregate rent expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 were $9,166 and $7,267.

 

As of July 31, 2014, the Company occupied its own building and has no future minimum rental payments due under various operating leases in the next twelve months.

 

(b) Capital commitment

 

As of July 31, 2014, the Company does not anticipate any significant future contingent payment in the next twelve months.

 

NOTE15 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after July 31, 2014 up through the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. During the period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.

Overview

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, we had four business segments: (i) the provision of IT consulting, programming and website development services; (ii) our oilseeds business; (iii) our real estate business and (iv) the distribution of consumer products. Our oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for all of our revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. We did not generate any revenues from the distribution of consumer products or from our software business segment during such period. Summarized financial information regarding each revenue generating segment for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 is as follows:

Our m-commerce and consumer distribution products businesses are operated through UHT. Our oilseeds business is operated through Virtual Setup Sdn. Bhd., or VSSB, and Max Trend WFOE. Our real estate business is operated through PGCG Assets.

 

21
 

  

Our initial business plan launched in July 2010 broadly contemplated the development, distribution and operation of mobile and online social networking, ecommerce and search products and services. However, as a result of the challenges we experienced in implementing our m-commerce business plan, we entered the oilseeds and real estate businesses in 2012 and scaled back our software and consumer goods distribution businesses. Since the commencement of our these business segments, we (through our subsidiaries):

 

·Acquired a palm oil plantation in Malaysia which is operated through VSSB (May 2012);
·Commenced sales of castor seeding and provision of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement through our subsidiaries Max Trend International Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, or Max Trend HK, which owns Max Trend WFOE (during quarter ended July 31, 2012);
·Became a party to a trial planting arrangement with Srira Cha province, Thailand, for the cultivation of castor plants (indefinitely suspended);
·Acquired 21.8921 hectares (54.10 acres) of vacant development land located in Selangor, Malaysia, which is subject to a 99-year leasehold, expiring July 30, 2100 (July 26, 2012);
·Acquired Dunford Corporation Sdn. Bhd., or Dunford, whose primary assets consist of two parcels of undeveloped land located in Selangor, Malaysia aggregating approximately 31 acres (October 17, 2012);
·Acquired a 15 story commercial building located at Geran 10010, Lot 238 Section 43, Town and District of Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (December 2012); and
·Acquired a 12 story commercial building located at Megan Avenue 1, No. 189, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (July 2013).

 

Fluctuating Revenues

 

In focusing on our real estate and oilseeds business segments, we significantly decreased our investment in our consumer product distribution operations and our software business activities. As a result, we did not generate any revenue from our consumer product business and software business segments during the nine months ended July 31, 2014, and do not expect this business segment to generate significant revenues in the near future.

 

As we transition from an m-commerce to oilseeds and real estate company, we may continue to experience significant fluctuations in revenue which may cause our gross profit to fluctuate. Historically, we experienced higher profit margins with respect to software derived revenue and consulting revenue (arising from consultation to castor farmers) as compared to rental income revenue and oil palm plantation derived revenue. Accordingly, to the extent our revenue composition shifts from software or consulting services to rental income or palm oil plantation revenue, we expect our profit margins to also decrease.

 

Challenges From Our Oilseeds Operations

 

The oilseeds business is a highly regulated industry with prices subject to wide fluctuations due to factors beyond our control such as weather conditions, competition, global demand and government policies. Management has limited experience operating in this industry and may not be able to successfully navigate all industry specific factors in addition to any geopolitical factors in Malaysia, Thailand and the PRC. For example, we were forced to suspend our trial planting arrangement in Thailand as a result of unexpected changes in the local political climate. In addition, we have discovered that our castor business operates at a competitive disadvantage due to China’s tax policies, which favor local enterprises. Together with the soft pricing for castor seeds, our ability to effectively compete in the castor industry has been adversely affected. Accordingly, we elected to discontinue our castor seed business in China during the quarter ended July 30, 2014, and expect to windup and dissolve or otherwise dispose of Shenzhen Max Trend Green Energy Company Limited in the future.

 

Management is focused on the maintenance and operation of its oil palm plantation in Malaysia. Management believes that the value of its oil palm plantation has increased since its acquisition, and while it has not pursued any discussions or received any formal offers regarding the sale of its plantation, it may consider sales offers in the future if a sale would maximize return to its investors.

 

Challenges From Our Real Estate Operations

 

Commercial Buildings

 

We expect demand for commercial property to remain steady and positive for calendar 2014. As a result, we do not anticipate significant challenges in leasing out or 12 story and 15 story commercial buildings.

 

We generate rental income from our 12 story and 15 story commercial properties and anticipate generating income from the sale of developed properties. As July 31, 2014, 8 of the 12 stories of our 12 story building have been leased to tenants at market rates. Two of the stories were leased to our group of companies. Most of these tenants are parties to two-year leases. We expect to generate approximately $195,000 of gross rental income on an annualized basis from our 12 story building based upon full occupancy of our 12 story building at prevailing market rates.

 

22
 

 

December 18, 2013, we leased the entirety of our 15 story commercial building to Esquire Bayview Sdn. Bhd. that intends to convert the building and operate it as a business hotel. As part of the lease transaction, we assigned to such tenant all of our rights and benefits as a landlord under a separate Rental Agreement previously made between us and a retailer located on the first floor of such building. We amended this lease on August 18, 2014, to among other things, reflect the tenant’s name change to Le Apple  Boutique Hotel (KLCC) Sdn. Bhd., or Le Apple.

 

Under the original lease, the initial term of the lease was twenty (20) years, expiring November 30, 2033, with a one-time option to renew for an additional ten (10) year period. The monthly rental rate was RM550,000 (approximately US$168,665) for the first three years. Thereafter, the rental rate would be increased to the then prevailing market rate or in increments of 5%-10% every three-year period, whichever is higher.

 

Under the new lease, the rental term was converted to a year-to-year term, commencing December 1, 2013. Provided that there are no existing breaches by Le Apple, we will be required to renew the lease for additional one-year terms up to twenty nine times, for a maximum aggregate term of thirty years. The parties retained the initial monthly rental rate of RM550,000 for the first three years. Thereafter, the monthly rate would increase every three years by 5% to 10% or to the then prevailing market rate, whichever is lower. We expect to generate approximately $2.1 million in rental income from this tenant. The terms of the new lease is more fully disclosed on that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2014.

 

Residential Property Development

 

The Company has complied with the technical requirements for issuance of a development order to develop our Shah ALam 2 Eco Residential Development project. The Selangor state government, however, has imposed a freeze on development approvals affecting the land on which our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project will be situated in connection with a legal dispute with a third party township developer. The township developer recently filed for an extension of time and its case was rescheduled until August 2014.

 

The Selangor government, however, is undergoing a political crisis arising from a contentious replacement of the Chief Minister position in the Selangor state. The previous Chief Minister was forced to resign and a new Chief Minister together with his State Executive Committee have not yet been appointed. We believe that notwithstanding the court date set in August 2014, the issues surrounding the land on which our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project is located will not be decided until a new Chief Minister and his state cabinet have been formed. The Company expects the approval to be made available when the new Selangor state government is formed, hopefully within the next 12 months.

 

We believe that we will require approximately $3.5 million to obtain the necessary permits and $3.6 million to commence the first of six phases of construction. We believe that we will require approximately $15 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project. We hope to finance the $15 million through a combination of loans, funds from ongoing building sales and operating capital.

 

We do not intend to commence development of our Bandar Sungai Long High Grade Villas Community project until we have successfully sold Phase 2 of the Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project. If we are not able to successfully develop, market and sell our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project, we may not be able to complete all or any portion of our Bandar Sungai Long High Grade Villas Community project.

 

We believe that the outlook for residential properties will remain positive for the remainder of 2014 based upon Malaysia’s stable employment outlook, growth in household income, formation of new households, and increased demand for affordable residential property from first time home buyers. In addition to our specific challenge arising for the development order freeze imposed by the Selangor government, developers such as us are facing challenges of inconsistent supply and high cost of labor, increased costs of building materials (such as cement and steel bars) and general increased costs of doing business. Our market is also sensitive to changes in lending rates and lending requirements as many homebuyers rely on financing to make purchases. As a result, government or bank policies that result in increased interest rates and or stricter lending requirements may adversely affect the sales of our developed properties.

 

Approval to Initiate Uplisting Process

 

On December 12, 2011, our board of directors approved, authorized and directed our officers to initiate the process for listing shares of the Company’s common stock on one or more U.S. national securities exchanges including the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange. We have elected to delay uplisting efforts until the end of calendar year 2015 to focus on implementing our business plan.

Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $615,249 and $77,357 for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in net revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2014, is attributable to the significant increase in rental income resulting from the rental of our commercial properties.

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2014, our oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 11.6% and 88.4% of our net revenue. We did not generate any revenue from our software and consumer product distribution business segments. For the same period ended July 31, 2013, our oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 60.5% and 39.5% of our net revenue. We did not generate any revenue from our software and consumer product distribution business segments.

 

Our real estate related revenues are derived from the tenants from our commercial buildings. Except with respect to revenue from software sales which may fluctuate unpredictably in the near future and assuming a resumption of trading castor seeds, we generally expect our oilseeds and real estate related revenues to gradually account for an increasing share of our net revenue in the future as those business segments continue to develop. We expect our oilseeds revenues to stabilize absent acquisitions or other expansions of our oilseeds business.

 

We expect our software revenue to continue to fluctuate depending upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities.

 

We did not derive any revenue from product sales in three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. On a going forward basis, we expect to make product sales only as such opportunities may arise. Accordingly, we do not expect product sales to account for a significant portion of our net revenues.

 

Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 9.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2014, with our oilseeds and real estate accounting for 63.4% and 36.6% of our cost of revenues. Cost of revenue in 2014 consisted primarily of the costs related to our real estate business such as interest, depreciation and maintenance and costs related to the palm oil business such as rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 59.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2013, with our oilseeds and software businesses accounting for 83.3% and 16.7% of our cost of revenues. Cost of revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2013, consisted primarily of costs related to the palm oil business such as rental of plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree and software purchase costs, costs of labor that are directly attributable to the sale of software. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

24
 

 

While our cost of revenue increased from $46,181 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, to $56,398 for the same period ended July 31, 2014, cost of revenue expressed as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 59.7% to 9.2% between the two periods. The decrease is primarily attributable to the higher cost of revenue associated with our oilseeds revenue (excluding consulting based revenue) as compared to the lower cost of revenue associated with real estate revenues.

 

Assuming a resumption of trading castor seeds, we expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds and real estate businesses to continue to increase and those attributable to our trading business to decrease as our oilseeds and real estate businesses continue to develop. We expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds business to stabilize absent acquisitions or other expansions of our oilseeds business.

 

We expect cost of revenue of our software business to fluctuate together with the amount of net revenues generated by this business segment.

 

Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $558,851 for the three months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to $31,176 for the three months ended July 31, 2013. As of July 31, 2014, our real estate and oilseeds operations accounted for approximately 93.6% and 6.4% of our gross profit. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to increased harvest from palm oil plantation and improved occupancy rate in real estate operations for the three months ended July 31, 2014.

 

We expect gross profit derived from our oilseeds and real estate businesses to gradually increase as those segments develop and the oil palm market recovers. We expect gross profits attributable to our software business to fluctuate according to the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We do not expect our trading business segment to contribute significantly to our gross profit.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $456,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2014. This represents an increase of $57,378, as compared to $398,622 for the three months ended July 31, 2013. The increase in G&A is primarily attributable to the depreciation of the building structure in Megan Avenue commencing from August 2013.

 

We did not make any significant investments in our consumer goods and software businesses during three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. We did not generate sales from our consumer goods and software business segments in the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. We expect to continue relying on the personal relationships of our executive officers and directors in generating sales on a going forward basis and do not expect our consumer goods and software business segments to contribute significantly to our G&A expenses.

 

As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we begin development of our real estate assets. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 74.1% and 515.3% for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of G&A as a percentage of net revenue is attributable to the increase in our real estate revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2014.

 

Other Expense, net. We incurred net other expense of $295,694 for the three months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to net other expense of $637,893 for the three months ended July 31, 2013. Net other expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014, consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans.

 

Income Tax (Expense) Credit. We recorded income tax expense of $98 for the three months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to a credit of $28,993 for the same period ended July 31, 2013. The increase in income tax is primarily attributable to operating profit in plantation business. For the three months ended July 31, 2014, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $192,843, as compared to a loss before income taxes of $1,005,339 for the same period ended July 31, 2013.

Net loss   (1,143,193)   (706,636)   (436,557)   (61.8%)

 

Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $1,700,970 and $1,826,829 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net revenue is attributable to the lack of software revenue during that period as compared to $1,620,759 of software revenue generated during the nine month period ended July 31, 2013.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, our oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 12.7% and 87.3% of our net revenue. We did not generate any revenue from our software and consumer product distribution business segments. For the same period ended July 31, 2013, software sales, plantation sales and rental income accounting for approximately 88.7%, 8% and 3.3%.

 

Our real estate related revenues are mainly derived from the tenants from our commercial buildings. Except with respect to revenue from software sales which may fluctuate unpredictably in the near future and assuming a resumption of trading castor seeds, we generally expect our oilseeds and real estate related revenues to gradually account for an increasing share of our net revenue in the future as those business segments continue to develop. If we discontinue trading of castor seeds, we expect our oilseeds revenues to stabilize absent acquisitions or other expansions of our oilseeds business.

 

We expect our software revenue to continue to fluctuate depending upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities.

 

We did not derive any revenue from product sales in nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. On a going forward basis, we expect to make product sales only as such opportunities may arise. Accordingly, we do not expect product sales to account for a significant portion of our net revenues.

 

Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 16.9% for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, with our oilseeds and real estate accounting for 43.6% and 56.4% of our cost of revenues. Cost of revenue in 2014 consisted primarily of the costs related to our real estate business such as interest, depreciation and maintenance and costs related to the palm oil business such as rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 6.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 with software sales and plantation sales accounting for approximately 19% and 81%, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the lower cost of revenue associated with the software derived revenue and consulting revenue as compared to the cost of revenue associated with oilseeds revenue (excluding oilseeds related consulting revenue) and real estate related revenue. Cost of revenue for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013, consisted primarily of software purchase costs, costs of labor that are directly attributable to the sale of software and costs related to the palm oil business such as rental of plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

Assuming a resumption of trading castor seeds, we expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds and real estate businesses to continue to increase and those attributable to our trading business to decrease as our oilseeds and real estate businesses continue to develop. If we discontinue trading of castor seeds, we expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds business to stabilize absent acquisitions or other expansions of our oilseeds business.

 

We expect cost of revenue of our software business to fluctuate together with the amount of net revenues generated by this business segment.

 

Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $1,414,274 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to $1,714,104 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013. As of July 31, 2014, our real estate and oilseeds operations accounted for approximately 93.6% and 6.4% of our gross profit. Our software, oilseeds and real estate business segments accounted for approximately 93.3%, 3.2% and 3.5%, respectively, of our gross profit during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the lack of software revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, which were not fully offset by the increase in real estate and oilseeds revenues.

 

We expect gross profit derived from our oilseeds and real estate businesses to gradually increase as those segments develop and the oil palm market recovers. We expect gross profits attributable to our software business to fluctuate according to the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We do not expect our trading business segment to contribute significantly to our gross profit.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $1,702,300 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. This represents an increase of $576,058, as compared to $1,126,242 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013. The increase in G&A is primarily attributable to increased palm oil productions and real estate operations and impairment loss on advances to suppliers in oilseed operations.

 

We did not make any significant investments in our consumer goods and software businesses during nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and did not generate sales from our consumer goods and software businesses in the nine months ended July 31, 2014. We did, however, generate net revenues of $1,620,759 from software sales during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013. We expect to continue relying on the personal relationships of our executive officers and directors in generating sales on a going forward basis and do not expect our consumer goods and software business segments to contribute significantly to our G&A expenses.

 

As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we begin development of our real estate assets. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 100% and 61.7% for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the percentage of G&A as a percentage of net revenue is attributable to the lack of software revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2014.

 

Other Expense, net. We incurred net other expense of $845,811 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to net other expense of $983,800 for the same period ended July 31, 2013. Net other expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans offset by dividend and interest income.

 

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $9,356 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to $310,698 for the same period ended July 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in losses before income tax. We incurred a loss before income taxes of $1,133,837 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to a loss of $395,938 for the same period ended July 31, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of July 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,278,794. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents as compared to our cash position as of October 31, 2013, resulted from the sale of 10% of equity interests in PGCG Assets , our subsidiary, to an unaffiliated third party in consideration of approximately US $6,187,551. The terms of such sale were disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2014.

 

We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future, including the contractual obligations that we have assumed discussed below, to begin development activities. We also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a large accelerated filer, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and increased professional fees.

 

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in product development, acquisitions or expansion; consequently, we do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

 

The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and public offerings, capital leases and long-term debt. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed below are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months.

Net Cash (Used In ) Provided By Operating Activities.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $527,059, which consisted primarily of an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $566,019, depreciation of $523,499, an impairment loss on advances to suppliers of $447,524, and an increase of rental deposits from tenants of $314,401, offset by a net loss of $1,143,193, a increase in accounts receivables of $1,168,917 and a decrease in income tax payable of $67,515.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $238,839, which consisted primarily of increases in advances from third parties of $597,530, realized gains from sale of marketable securities of $360,256, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $509,434, an increase in income tax payables of $244,529 offset by a decrease in advances to suppliers of $800,013 and net losses of $706,636.

 

As we shift away from our product sales businesses, we expect cash derived from this segment to decrease. We expect software-derived revenue to continue to fluctuate based upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We anticipate cash from our oilseeds operating activities to increase as we focus on our oilseeds operations. We expect rental income from our real estate operations to stabilize now that our commercial buildings are fully occupied, which will be offset by the increased expenses associated with developing our residential projects. We expect to continue to rely on cash generated through private placements of our securities, however, to finance our operations and future acquisitions.

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities was $6,200,218, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of the securities of PGCG Assets of $6,226,553, offset by the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $31,870.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $22,186,478, which was primarily attributable to payments in connection with the purchase of our commercial buildings in Malaysia of $28,427,544 and plant and equipment purchases of $51,090, and deposits of $12,946 made in connection with our anticipated land purchases in Malaysia, offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $6,305,102.

 

Net Cash (Used in) Provided By Financing Activities.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $2,844,229, consisting primarily of repayments to Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer and director, of $2,524,256, repayments of $307,577 on outstanding bank loans, repayment to a related party of $10,316 and repayments on a finance lease of $2,080. Advances by Mr. Wong previously made to us were made on an interest-free, unsecured basis and are repayable on demand.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $21,443,949, consisting primarily of proceeds from a bank loan of $16,194,197, advances from Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer and director, of $5,256,017, offset by repayments of $6,265 on a finance lease. Advances by Mr. Wong were made to us was made on an interest-free, unsecured basis and are repayable on demand.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

·Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

·Advances to suppliers

 

The Company generally makes advanced payments to suppliers for the purchase of its castor oil seeding in the normal course of business. Advances to suppliers are recorded when payment is made by the Company and relieved against inventory when goods are received. The advance payments to suppliers may include provisions that set the purchase price and delivery date of raw materials. Advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.

 

To date, all castor oil seeding relating to these advances have not delivered and the Company has considered for any estimated losses resulting from such non-delivery. The Company will take further actions and exhaust all means of collection of such advances, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. At July 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $891,555 and $441,953, respectively.

·Properties, plant and equipment

 

Properties and plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

 

Categories   Location of properties   Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land   Palm oil plantation in Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Leasehold land under development   Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia   Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development   Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building   Land portion of 15 story buildings “Menara CMY” in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia Indefinite, as per property titles
Building structure and improvements   Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, including: 12 story building “Megan Avenue” and 15 story building “Menara CMY”   33 years
Office furniture and equipment       3-10 years
Motor vehicle       5 years

 

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. 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 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 reporting unit level. 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 periods presented.

 

The Company has complied with the technical requirements for issuance of a development order to develop its land. The Company expects the approval to be made available when the new Selangor state government is formed, hopefully within the next 12 months.

 

The Company has separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings structure are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $176,811 and $17,680, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $523,499 and $48,535, respectively.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of July 31, 2014, there was no such capitalized interest.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

30
 

 

The Company capitalizes leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. The Company allocates these costs to individual tenant leases and amortizes them over the related lease term.

 

·Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC 985-20 with respect to revenue generated in connection with software sales and ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Company’s sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

 

(a) Software sales

 

The Company generally sells the software products in an arrangement that is bundled with maintenance and support service and/or website development service, based upon the customers’ specification or modification.

 

The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. For the billed software product sales, the revenue from the undelivered element is included in deferred revenue and amortized ratably to revenue over its contractual term, typically one year.

 

Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.

 

Revenues from the provision of website development service including website design and development are recognized upon the ownership and operating rights of website domain are transferred to the customers.

 

Revenues from the provision of maintenance and support service are recognized when service rendered, which consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. The Company generally offers maintenance and support service to its customers for a period of twelve months, free of charge or at a monthly fixed fee. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance from the customers of delivering maintenance and support service is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when the related service is rendered.

 

(b) Plantation sales

 

The Company offers two types of plantation products comprising of palm oil products and castor products.

 

Revenue from the sale of palm oil product is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of fresh fruit bunches and shipment to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from castor products includes sale of seeding and rendering of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement. The Company adopts ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” and recognizes revenue as services are performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service offering has been delivered to the client; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.

 

A bundled sale arrangement involves multiple deliverables provided by the Company, where bundled service deliverables are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.

 

The Company’s multi-element arrangements generally include two deliverables. The first deliverable is castor oilseeds delivered at the time of sale. The second deliverable is rendering of technical know-how service to plant the castor oilseeds when the principal terms of the service agreement are fulfilled and the certificate of satisfaction is confirmed by the customers.

 

31
 

 

The Company uses a hierarchy to determine the allocation of revenues to the deliverables. The hierarchy is as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”).

 

(i) VSOE generally exists only when a company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable. Generally the Company does not sell the deliverables separately and, as such, does not have VSOE.
   
(ii) TPE can be substantiated by determining the price that other parties sell similar or substantially similar offerings. The Company does not believe that there is accessible TPE evidence for similar deliverables.
   
(iii) BESP reflects the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of elements would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company believes that BESP is the most appropriate methodology for determining the allocation of revenue among the multiple elements.

 

The Company has allocated revenues between these two deliverables using the relative selling price method which is based on the estimated selling price for all deliverables. Revenues allocated to the delivered castor oilseeds and are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for recognition of revenues have been met. Revenues allocated to the rendering of technical know-how service are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the service, which currently is 6-12 months.

 

(c) Rental income

 

The Company generally leases the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. During the first quarter, the Company signed a twenty year lease covering the majority of its 15 story building. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, we have recorded $1,485,341 and $60,076 in lease revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

 

As of July 31, 2014, the commercial buildings for lease are as follows:

 

Name of Commercial building

Number of units

(by floor)

Footage area

(square feet)

Vacancy percentage
Megan Avenue 12 19,987 33%
Menara CMY 15 91,848 0%

 

We expect to record approximately $2.2 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through July 31, 2015.

 

The Company leases store location and office spaces to the tenants under operating lease arrangements. The Company receives rental income from the real estates it owns for a stated period of times. Rental income is recognized over the life of the operating lease agreement as it is earned in the period under ASC Topic 970-605. The typical leases contain initial terms of two years with renewal options and do not contain escalating rent amounts. Rent concessions are recognized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease.

 

The Company also records operating costs directly attributable to the leasing properties, such as real estate taxes, depreciation of the leased properties and property management fees, which are charged to expense when incurred.

 

For leases classified as operating, the Company’s lessee records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term, including renewal options, taking into consideration of rent holidays or any rent concessions.

 

·Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenue on software sales primarily includes the purchase cost of software products and the labor cost incurred in the modifications, customization and enhancement of software products, the development of websites and maintenance and support services. All costs are expensed off when the software products and its related website domain are transferred to the customer.

 

Cost of revenue on sales of luxury consumer products primarily consists of the purchase cost of luxury consumer products.

 

Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

Rental expenses shown on the accompanying statements of operations include costs associated with on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants. 

 

32
 

 

 

·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 comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

·Income taxes

 

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 periods 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 disclose 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 the PRC and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authorities.

 

·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 reporting 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”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), 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 within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

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

 

   As of and for the period ended July 31, 
   2014   2013 
Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate   6.1690    6.1792 
Period-average RMB : US$1 exchange rate   6.1418    6.2499 
Period-end HK$ : US$1 exchange rate   7.7502    7.7561 
Period-average HK$ : US$1 exchange rate   7.7548    7.7570 
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate   3.1859    3.2352 
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate   3.2522    3.0961 

 

·Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

33
 

 

·Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended July 31, 2014, the Company operates in four reportable operating segments in Malaysia and China.

 

·Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, deferred revenue, income tax payable, amount due to a director, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

·Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

ITEM 3                   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

While our reporting currency is the US dollar, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in MYR and RMB. All of our assets are denominated in MYR except for some cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate among US dollar, MYR and RMB. If the MYR/RMB depreciates against the US dollar, the value of our MYR/RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

 

Commodity price

 

Our primary market risk exposure results from the price we receive for our palm oil product and oilseeds. We do not currently engage in any commodity hedging activities, although we may do so in the future. Realized commodity pricing for our operation is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for palm oil product and oilseeds. Pricing for palm oil product and oilseeds has been volatile and unpredictable in recent years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The prices we receive for operation depend on many factors outside of our control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable commodity index price.

 

Malaysian real estate market risk

 

Our real estate business may be affected by market conditions and economic challenges experienced by the economy as a whole in Malaysia, conditions in the credit markets or by local economic conditions in the markets in which its properties are located. Such conditions may impact our results of operations, financial condition or ability to expand its operations.

 

Market risk related to marketable securities

 

We are also exposed to the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments, caused by fluctuations in equity prices related to marketable securities. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows.

 

34
 

 

ITEM 4                   Controls and Procedures  

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of July 31, 2014, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Inherent Limitations

 

Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2014, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
