PHYSICAL PROPERTY HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Physical Property Holdings Inc. and the subsidiaries that it controls (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the real estate business by holding five residential apartments in Hong Kong. Unless otherwise specified in the text, references to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

Translation of amounts from Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$") into United States Dollars ("US$") for the convenience of the reader has been made at the exchange rate of US$1.00 = HK$7.8. No representation is made that the Hong Kong Dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States Dollars, at that rate on September 30, 2014 or at any other certain rate.

 

The Company had negative working capital of HK$11,483,000 as of September 30, 2014 and incurred losses of HK$598,000 and HK$223,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations in the future, exercising tight cost and cash flow controls measures, and the financial support from the Principal Stockholder.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Principal Stockholder has undertaken to make available adequate funds to the Company as and when required to maintain the Company as a going concern.  Having taken into consideration the undertaking provided by the Principal Stockholder, management believes that the Company will be able to settle its liabilities when they become due.  However, there can be no assurance that the financing from the Principal Stockholder will be continued.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Ngai Keung Luk (“Mr. Luk”), Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Stockholder, made a net advance of HK$906,000 or US$116,000 to the Company as described in Note 5 below.  Mr. Luk owns 94.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the date this quarterly report is filed.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date this quarterly report is filed.

 

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

As of the date this quarterly report is filed, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements which adoption would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3. BANK LOANS

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company repaid HK$436,000 and HK$427,000 of its existing bank loans, respectively. The outstanding loan balances as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are analyzed as follows:

As the bank loans are repayable on demand upon request at the bank’s discretion, regardless of the expected repayment dates of the outstanding loan principals as set out in the repayment terms notices issued by the bank, the entire balance of the bank loans is presented as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.  

 

The collateral of the bank loans includes:

 (i)  

leasehold properties in Hong Kong with a net book value of HK$9,294,000 and HK$9,508,000 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively;

(ii)

Potential administrative proceeding

 

On or about October 22, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) sent a “voluntary request letter” seeking certain information and documents about the Company and another company known as Score One, Inc, in connection with an investigation into alleged spam e-mail campaigns and potential securities fraud violations.

 

Subsequently, on or about January 11, 2008, the SEC sent a subpoena to the Company for additional information and documents concerning the Company and Score One, Inc. in furtherance of its investigation into potential spam e-mail campaigns and securities fraud violations.  Management of the Company retained counsel and responded to the subpoena.

 

On or about September 16, 2010, the SEC sent a letter to the Company in which they stated that they intended to institute an administrative proceeding against the Company, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act to determine whether it is appropriate to suspend or revoke the registration of the Company’s securities.  

 

On or about February 1, 2011, the SEC filed a complaint in US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern District, SEC v. Gregg M.S. Berger, et al., for securities fraud involving spamming stock, pump and dump schemes, misleading press releases, violation of numerous SEC rules governing the issuance of S-8 stock, misleading reverse mergers, etc.  The Company and its officers and directors were not named as defendants in the case.

 

Other than the above, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no material outstanding commitments and contingencies.

7. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On April 21, 2014, Physical Property Holding Inc. entered into a binding Reg S Offshore Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Mr. Luk, relating to the sale of a total of 61,670,647 shares of its common stock, US$.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), in consideration for the cancellation of US$61,670.65 of indebtedness owed by the Company to Mr. Luk. The shares were issued at an effective price of US$.001 per share, which the Board of Directors determined to be good and valuable consideration and fair to the Company. 

 

The issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Regulation D Rule 506 and Section 4(a)(6) under the Securities Act, Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon, among other things, representations from Mr. Luk that he is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act as the basis for the Rule 506 and Section 4(a)(6) exemptions. In addition, the Company relied upon, among other things, the fact that Mr. Luk was a sophisticated investor, could bear the risk of the investment from a financial point of view, and was given access to information about the Company. Finally, the Company relied upon the fact that Mr. Luk was not a “U.S. Person,” in concluding that it was entitled to rely upon the exemption provided by Regulation S.

 

The common stock was issued by the Company’s transfer agent bearing a restrictive legend. As a result of the issuance, the Company has 90,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and Mr. Luk’s 85,048,718 shares represent 94.5% of the total issued and outstanding number of shares.

ANY ONE OF THOSE FACTORS COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED HEREIN. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE PLANS AND OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS, INCLUDING PLANS AND OBJECTIVES RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS AND THE FUTURE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY. ASSUMPTIONS RELATING TO THE FOREGOING INVOLVE JUDGMENTS WITH RESPECT TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FUTURE ECONOMIC, COMPETITIVE AND MARKET CONDITIONS, FUTURE BUSINESS DECISIONS, AND THE TIME AND MONEY REQUIRED TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT ACCURATELY AND MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE REASONABLE, ANY OF THOSE ASSUMPTIONS COULD PROVE INACCURATE AND, THEREFORE, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE RESULTS CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE REALIZED.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED) COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues for the third quarter of 2014 totaled HK$265,000 (US$34,000) compared to HK$278,000 for the corresponding period in 2013. This represented a decrease of 5% mainly due to a tenant vacating a unit in the last month of the third quarter of 2014.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses totaled HK$391,000 (US$50,000), or 148% of operating revenues, for the third quarter of 2014, compared to HK$275,000, or 99% of operating revenues, for the third quarter of 2013. This represented an increase of 42%, mainly because of an increase in administrative expenses in relation to office space and general support for the Company’s activities in this quarter.

 

TOTAL NON-OPERATING EXPENSES. Total non-operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 totaled HK$43,000 (US$6,000) compared to HK$46,000 for the third quarter of 2013. This represented a decrease of 7% due to reduction in interest expenses attributable to the decrease in average loan balances as a result of the progress on repayment.

 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company did not make any tax provision for the third quarter in view of the losses incurred.

 

NET LOSS AND TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE LOSS. The Company has recorded a net loss and total comprehensive loss of HK$169,000 (US$22,000) for the third quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss and total comprehensive loss of HK$43,000 for the third quarter of 2013. This represented an increase in loss of 293% due to the effect of the decrease in rental income and the increase in operating expenses as mentioned above.

 

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED) COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues for the nine months of 2014 totaled HK$785,000 (US$101,000) compared to HK$781,000 for the corresponding period in 2013. This represented an increase of 1% mainly due to rental increases for the properties.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses totaled HK$1,253,000 (US$161,000), or 160% of operating revenues, for the first nine months of 2014, compared to HK$865,000, or 111% of operating revenues, for the first nine months of 2013. This represented an increase of 45%, mainly because of an increase in administrative expenses in relation to office space and general support for the Company’s activities in the first nine months of 2014.

 

TOTAL NON-OPERATING EXPENSES. Total non-operating expenses for the first nine months of 2014 totaled HK$130,000 (US$17,000) compared to HK$139,000 for the first nine months of 2013. This represented a decrease of 6% due to reduction in interest expenses attributable to the decrease in average loan balances as a result of the progress on repayment.

 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company did not make any tax provision for the period under review because there were losses incurred.

 

NET LOSS AND TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE LOSS. The Company has recorded a net loss and total comprehensive loss of HK$598,000 (US$77,000) for the first nine months of 2014, compared to a net loss and total comprehensive loss of HK$223,000 for the first nine months of 2013. This represented an increase in loss of 168% due to the net effect of the increase in rental income and the increase in operating expenses as mentioned above.

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has financed its operations primarily through advances from the Principal Stockholder.

 

Cash and cash equivalent balances as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were HK$42,000 (US$5,000) and HK$29,000, respectively.

 

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was HK$(457,000) (US$(59,000)) and HK$60,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities, which mainly includes repayment of bank loans and advances from the Principal Stockholder, were HK$470,000 (US$60,000) and HK$(52,000) during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments or held any marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies.

 

Consistent with the general practice of lessors of residential apartments, the Company receives monthly rentals, which are due on the first day of each billing period and are non-refundable. This practice creates working capital that the Company generally utilizes for working capital purposes.

 

The Company has no trade receivable balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company obtains rental deposits from its tenants and has never experienced any significant problems with collection of accounts receivable. No provision for doubtful receivables is therefore made for the period under review.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no purchases of investments.

 

Management believes that cash flow generated from the operations of the Company, the tight cost and cash flow control measures, the existing cash and bank balances on hand and the unregistered sales of equity securities should be sufficient to satisfy the working capital requirement of the Company for at least the next 12 months as the Principal Stockholder has confirmed his intention to make available adequate funds to the Company as and when required to maintain the Company as a going concern.  However, there can be no assurance that the financing from him will be continued.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, the Company uses estimates based on the best information available for such items as depreciable lives. The Company revises the recorded estimates when better information is available, facts change or actual amounts can be determined. These revisions can affect operating results.

 

The critical accounting policies and use of estimates are discussed in, and should be read in conjunction with, the annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s latest 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014, which includes audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

 

 

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The operations of the Company are solely in Hong Kong and they are subject to risks associated with, among others, interest rate and liquidity risk. These risks have similar considerations and risks typically associated with investments in the real estate market of the United States and Western European countries. These are described further in the following:

 

INTEREST RATE RISK

 

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its long term debt obligations with a floating interest rate.  The Company monitors the movement of interest rates on an ongoing basis and evaluates the exposure of its debt obligations.

 

LIQUIDITY RISK

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported a negative working capital of HK$11,483,000, of which HK$7,398,000 would be due for repayment over one year according to the latest repayment terms notices issued by the bank, and a net loss of HK$598,000. The Company has relied on private financing from the Principal Stockholder of the Company, who has confirmed his intention to make available adequate funds to the Company as and when required to maintain the Company as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that the financing from him will be continued. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include or reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) of the Company have concluded, based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2014, that the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported to the management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding whether or not disclosure is required.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
