PRESTON CORP.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)


Note 1

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Preston Corp. (“Preston” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2015, as reported in the Form 10-K of the Company, have been omitted.


General


The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and determining whether they contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of all or part of its mineral properties.


The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan.


Note 2

Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2015, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $177,313 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.


Note 3

Advances


During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company received advances in an aggregate of $12,000. The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms for repayment. As of December 31, 2015, the advances totaled $46,800.





7



Note 4

Related Party Transactions


The related party advances are due to the director and President of the Company for funds advanced.  The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms for repayment. As of December 31, 2015, the advances totaled $65,900.


The Company was charged management fees by the President of the Company when funds are available.  Effective April 1, 2014, the Company agreed to pay the President of the Company $2,000 per month for management services if funds are available or to accrue such amount if funds are not available.  Accounts payable – related party are the fees earned but not yet paid of $26,700 and $24,200 at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this document, press releases, securities filings, and all other documents and communications.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (" Report ") are forward looking.  The words " believes ," " anticipates ," " estimates ," " expects ," and words of similar import, constitute " forward-looking statements ."  While we believe in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and known and unknown risks.  As a result of such risks, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our company.  We will not necessarily update information if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risks and uncertainties set forth in our S-1 Registration Statement, as well as in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC ").


The following information has not been audited.  You should read this information in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in this report.


Corporate Changes


On December 29, 2014, we filed an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Certificate of Amendment amended the Article 3 of our Articles of Incorporation to: authorize the issuance of up to five million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series shall be determined by the Board of Directors. As a result of the Certificate of Amendment, we now have two hundred and five million (205,000,000) authorized shares, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of two classes designated as “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares of Common Stock that we have authority to issue is two hundred million (200,000,000) shares and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that we have authority to issue is five million (5,000,000) shares. Our Board of Directors and a majority of our shareholders approved the Certificate of Amendment.


On January 7, 2015, pursuant to Article 3 of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), consisting of five hundred thousand (500,000) shares, par value $0.001. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate on an equal basis per-share with holders of our common stock in any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert their shares into shares of our common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock converted. Holders are further entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of 200 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held.


Mineral Property


We are an “exploration stage” company that has not realized any revenues to date.   Our business is the acquisition and exploration of mining properties with the objective of identifying potential gold and silver ore deposits.  


On January 27, 2015, pursuant to a License Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to a license (the “Handeni License”) to develop and mine for gold on approximately 80.4 square kilometers located southeast of Handeni in eastern Tanzania (the  “Mid-Green Hills Property”). The Handeni License was acquired from AFGF (Tanzania) Ltd. (“AFGF”) for 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Price”). AFGF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kokanee Placer Ltd., a corporation wholly-owned by Laurence Stephenson, our President, director and majority shareholder. Our Board reviewed the transaction, and Mr. Stephenson abstaining from voting, the transaction was approved.  Our Board believes that the Purchase Price for




9



this acquisition was fair and reasonable and at or below the fair market price that an independent third party would pay. Our Board further believes that this acquisition is in the best interests of both our company and our shareholders.  


We have not to date carried out any exploration work on the Mid-Green Hills Property.  Currently we do not know of any commercially viable mineral deposits existing on the Mid-Green Hills Property.  Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases.  A two phase exploration program has been recommended by our geologist Craig Alford, P. Geo., in his Mid-Green Hills Property, Handeni District, Tanzania Report dated October 19, 2014 (the “Geological Report”), based on his evaluation of the property, its history and the surrounding the property has shown potential gold mineralization. Further exploration is required.  Whether or not we will discover commercially viable mineral deposits will depend on this further exploration.  The initial phase, estimated to cost $200,000 is aimed at defining drill targets and includes geological and geochemical surveys, trenching or pitting.  The second phase will consist of exploration and delineation drilling, geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys, larger scale surface mining/bulk sampling, resource estimation and a Preliminary Economic Assessment, at an estimated cost of $5 Million.  


Plan of Operation


Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to carry out the first phase of the recommended exploration program on our Mid-Green Hills Property, which consists of geological mapping, geochemical soil sampling and trenching and rock sampling.  The estimated cost is $200,000 and we plan to carry out the work when financing allows.  


We will require additional funding in order to proceed with additional exploration on the Mid-Green Hills Property.  We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans.  We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.


In addition to exploration costs of approximately $200,000, we will incur salary expenses for Mr. Stephenson of $24,000 for the year for a total of $224,000 for the year.  If we cannot afford to pay this salary it will be accrued.  In addition, we anticipate spending an additional $35,000 on administrative fees, new employees, legal and accounting fees and complying with future SEC reporting obligations.  Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $259,000.  With these expenditures and Mr. Stephenson’s education and experience the first phase of exploration will be completed and evaluated. Upon that evaluation a second phase of exploration work may be carried out at a cost of $5 Million.   


If we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan.  In such a case, we may decide to discontinue our current business plan and seek other business opportunities in the resource or non-resource sector.  Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties.  Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs, such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits.  


Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future.  We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines.  Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control.  These factors include the following:


• our ability to raise additional funding;


• our ability to locate and acquire a suitable interest in a mineral property;


•  the market price for minerals;


• the results of our proposed exploration programs; and


• our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of any property interests




10




We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities.  For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


We have had no operating revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2015, and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $21,244 for the same period.  Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of advances.


Results of Operations for Three Months Ending December 31, 2015


We did not earn any revenues during the three month ending December 31, 2015 and 2014.  We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $21,244, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $16,533 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2015 was due to an increase in legal and professional fees.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $4,233, consisting only of cash, and a working capital deficit of $135,167, compared to total currents assets of $10,977 and working capital deficit of $113,923 as of the year ended September 30, 2015.  Our liabilities consisted of accounts payable, advances, and related party advances to us.


We expect to continue incurring losses in the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations.  There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our mineral claim and our venture will fail.


We plan to continue to finance our activities in the short term through shareholder advances similar to the ones that have occurred to date.  In the longer term it is hoped there will be further equity financings but none are planned at the moment.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.  


Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.


Item 4:

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls


Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting.


As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the




11



Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on our evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015.


Certain internal control weaknesses became evident that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses, including:  (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation; and (iii) insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.


There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
