Item 1. Business.

 

Overview

 

Verde Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “VRDR”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 22, 2010. The Company conducts business operations in Pahang Malaysia through Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”), a privately limited liability company incorporated in Malaysia, which is a deemed subsidiary under the management control of our 100% subsidiary Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

 

On October 25, 2013, we entered into an Assignment Agreement For the Assignment of Management Right in Merapoh Gold Mines in Malaysia (“Assignment Agreement”) with Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

 

FMR owns 85% equity interest in CSB, a privately limited liability company incorporated in Malaysia. CSB is the Mining Contractor of the Mining Lease for Site IV-1 at the Merapoh Gold Mine under the Contract for Work with MMC Corporation Berhad, the Permit Holder of the Mining Lease.

 

Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, FMR has assigned its management rights of CSB’s mining operation in the Mining Lease to the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”), in exchange for 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which constituted 95.26% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of and immediately after the consummation of the acquisition.

 

GBL was formed on February 7, 2013, by the Board of Directors of FMR to monitor the CSB operation. The acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of GBL was agreed upon on October 18, 2013, and completed on October 25, 2013, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and the audit of GBL.

 

On February 17, 2014, we entered into a Supplementary Agreement to the Assignment Agreement and completed a reverse acquisition of GBL pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement. As a result of the acquisition, the Company holds 100% equity interest in GBL and 85% variable interest in CSB. Our consolidated subsidiaries include GBL being our wholly-owned subsidiary and 85% of CSB being a variable interest entity (VIE) and deemed subsidiary of GBL. On April 1, 2014, GBL purchased 85% equity interest of CSB, and CSB became indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Corporate History and Structure

 

Verde Resources, Inc. was incorporated on April 22, 2010, in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. On October 17, 2013, Stephen Spalding and Michael Stiege resigned from all of their positions as officers and directors of the Company that complies with the requirements of Section 14f-1 of the Exchange Act. The following persons were appointed to serve as directors and to assume the responsibilities of officers on October 17, 2013. Mr. Wu Ming Ding, as President and Director; Mr. Balakrishnan B S Muthu as Treasurer Chief Financial Officer, General Manager and Director; and Mr. Liang Wai Keen as Secretary. Mr. Wu and Mr. Muthu were added to the Board of Directors.

 

On October 17, 2013, the Company provided written notice to Gold Explorations, LLC, that the Purchase Agreement dated May 17, 2010, amended February 8, 2012, and further amended May 17, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), has been cancelled according to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. By providing this notification, the Company has no further obligations under the Purchase Agreement and has released any interest in the mineral claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

 

On April 1, 2014, the Board of Directors of Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”) notified Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”) of the decision to exercise the right of option to purchase 85% equity interest of Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) under Management Agreement Section 3.2.4 dated July 1, 2013, between GBL and FMR. This acquisition was completed on April 1, 2014, with consideration of US$1, and GBL then became 85% shareholder of CSB.

 

Effective August 27, 2014, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized shares of the Company from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 250,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Effective February 20, 2016, Mr. Wu Ming Ding resigned all of his positions as President and Director of the Company, with Mr. Balakrishnan B S Muthu being appointed President to fill the vacancy created. Effective February 20, 2016, Mr. Chen Ching was appointed Director of the Company and the entire Board of Directors now consists of Mr. Balakrishnan B S Muthu and Mr. Chen Ching.

 

The following diagram illustrates our current corporate structure:

According to ASC 810-05-08 A, CSB is a deemed subsidiary of GBL where GBL controls the Board of Directors of CSB, rights to receive future benefits and residual value, and obligation to absorb loss and finance for CSB. GBL has the power to direct the activities of CSB that most significantly impact CSB’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of CSB that could potentially be significant to the CSB or the right to receive benefits from CSB that could potentially be significant to CSB. GBL is the primary beneficiary of CSB because GBL can direct the activities of CSB through the common directors and 85% shareholder FMR. Under 810-23-42, 43, it is determined that CSB is de-facto agent of the principal GBL and so GBL will consolidate CSB from July 1, 2013. On April 1, 2014, GBL purchased 85% equity interest of CSB, and CSB became indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Contractual Arrangements

 

Our exploration and mining business is currently provided through contractual arrangements with CSB through our wholly-owned subsidiary GBL.

 

CSB, the VIE of GBL, sells gold minerals directly to the registered gold trading company in Malaysia. We have been and are expected to continue to be dependent on our VIE to operate our exploration and mining business. GBL has entered into contractual arrangements with its VIE, which enable us to exercise effective control over the VIE, receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIE, and have the option to purchase equity interests in the VIE.

 

On July 1, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary GBL entered into a series of agreements (“VIE agreements”) with FMR and details of the VIE agreements are as follows :

 

 

1.

Management Agreement, FMR entrusted the management rights of its subsidiary CSB to GBL that include:

 

i.)

management and administrative rights over the day-to-day business affairs of CSB and the mining operation at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine;

 

ii.)

final right for the appointment of members to the Board of Directors and the management team of CSB;

 

iii.)

act as principal of CSB;

 

iv.)

obligation to provide financial support to CSB;

 

v.)

option to purchase an equity interest in CSB;

 

vi.)

entitlement to future benefits and residual value of CSB;

 

vii.)

right to impose no dividend policy;

 

viii.)

human resources management.

 

2.

Debt Assignment, FMR assigned to GBL the sum of money in the amount of three hundred nine thousand three hundred thirty one dollars and ninety-two cents (US$ 309,331.92), now due to GBL from CSB under the financing obligation from the FMR to CSB.

 

With the above agreements, GBL demonstrates its ability to control CSB as the primary beneficiary and the operating results of the VIE was included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.

 

CSB holds the operating right to Merapoh Gold Mine (the “Mine”) with all regulatory and government operating licenses in Malaysia.

 

On April 1, 2014, GBL purchased 85% equity interest of CSB, and CSB became indirect subsidiary of the Company.

 

Stage Of Operation

 

The Company does not own any title and/or concession right in any mines. The Company is undertaking natural mineral resource extraction management services. The Company expects to hire a mine management team to supervise the mineral resource extraction activities to ensure that the operations can be carried out without significant problems.

 

According to the United States Industry Guide 7 (a) (4) on mining operations, the Merapoh Gold Mine is currently in the production stage because the mine has produced approximately 19 kilograms of gold from July 2016 to June 2017. According to the ASC 930-330-20 Glossary, the production phase is defined as “when saleable minerals are extracted (produced) from an ore body, regardless of the level of production”. However, the production is limited to a small part of the site, and extraction is alluvial gold only. The objective of the Company is preparing to improve the productivity of the mines to ensure that the operation will be carried out effectively and efficiently at minimum cost.

Type of Claim:

 

Champmark Sdn Bhd, the subsidiary of Gold Billion Global Limited, is the Mining Contractor of the Mining Lease for Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine under the Contract for Work with MMC Corporation Berhad, the Permit Holder of the Mining Lease.

 

Identifying Information of the Merapoh Gold Mine:

 

Mining Right:

Mining Lease No.: ML 08/2008

Operational Mining Scheme No.: JMG.PHG.(M)24/2014/11(Au)

Concession Period: From April 4, 2014 to April 3, 2015

 

Regional Geology:

 

The Malaysia Central Gold Belt runs along the entire backbone of Peninsular Malaysia, extending further to the north. It was formed between the Sibumasu block in the west and Manabor block in the east that runs along major mineral deposits in Thailand, Myanmar and China. The regional gold deposits were made of Epithermal deposits that formed in a series of volcanic environment, where the tensional fractures along the subduction zone allows the intrusion of mineral rich acidic magma within deep faults.

 

Rock Formations and Mineralization:

 

Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine covers an area of 400 acres with mineralization structure being Permian limestone dominating the South-East portion, felsic volcanic tuff in the Western portion of the area and intrusive dacite rock to the north-west of the area. Tectonic contact within the sheer zone of creates epithermal mineralization, forming a mineral rich vein along the contact zone. The mineralized zone is made of highly altered tuffacaous rock with abundant pyrite dissemination and a moderately spaced quartz vein.

 

Work Completed and Present Condition:

 

Lode gold exploration on Site IV-1 has commenced since 2011 and still in progress with both in-house drilling team and third party drilling services running in parallel to expedite data collection to generate a comprehensive JORC compliant gold reserve report.

 

Equipment, Infrastructure and Other Facilities of the Merapoh Gold Mine:

 

Parlongs

These are basic production plants and the processing method employed five high powered manual water guns, angled water buffering control and 5-lane carpeted sluice with lateral barriers. The processing capacity is between 40 - 45 tons per hour.

 

OPS 1

This is a modified production plant and the processing method employed four high powered manual water guns, tapered rotating screen scrubber, angled water flow buffering and 3-lane carpeted sluice with lateral barriers. The processing capacity is between 30 - 35 tons per hour.

 

GS 150

This is a non-self-propelled mobile production plant and the processing method employed fixed spray guns, 6m x 2m rotating screen scrubber, 6-lane carpeted sluice with lateral barriers and conveyer belt pebble dispenser. The processing capacity is between 25 - 30 tons per hour.

 

GS 120

This is a self-propelled mobile plant with concentrator and the processing method employed fixed spray guns, 4m x 3m rotating screen scrubber, fixed screen, conveyer belt pebble dispenser and triple concentrator processor. The processing capacity is between 15 - 20 tons per hour.

Description of Processing Facilities:

 

Process for removing ore concentrates from the ore body

 

1.

The ore body is transported to the treatment plants in vehicles capable of hauling huge, heavy loads.

2.

The ore body is separated into Ore Type 1 Stockpile and Ore Type 2 Stockpile.

3.

The monitor washes finer gold bearing material off larger rocks which is screened on an inclined coarse wire screen.

4.

An excavator is used to turn over the rocks so wash is removed from all sides of the coarse material.

5.

A monitor pushes the rock down the inclined coarse screen where the course is removed and stockpiled at the bottom.

6.

Finer material passes through the mesh screen into the sluice system and runs over the sluice.

7.

The carpets are removed and taken to refining facility for gold recovery.

8.

A suction pipe recovers water of the fine tailings pond for use in the system.

 

Refining of the concentrate

 

1.

The carpets holding concentrate from the sluice are brought to a shed in the camp site where the gold is refined.

2.

The first stage of the refining is to wash the gold containing concentrate into large bins. This is pumped to a jig and shaking table.

3.

Nuggets are handpicked from the coarse fraction and the fine fraction is amalgamated to remove the gold. After distillation, gold from the amalgam and the coarse are melted with flux and the gold is poured into small bars.

 

Current State of Exploration:

 

As of the date of this report, the Merapoh Gold Mine property is without known reserves.

 

The Merapoh Gold Mine commenced exploratory operation in alluvia mining and achieved its first gold pour in July 2011. Through the years of operation, the Company has performed ongoing exercises to improve upon the matching of processing method with the types of ore in order to optimize cost to recovery ratio. In July 2013, production was outsourced to a reputable subcontractor, and developed a resource management system to match ore against processes to achieve the most cost efficient and highest recovery production procedure.

Table of Contents

 

Gold ore extraction of the Merapoh Gold Mine for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, was approximately 386,680 tons of gold ore or a monthly average of 32,223 tons (using a 12-month average), with an average gold grade of 0.05 g/t. Gold concentrate sold for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, was approximately 22,082 kg. The production level, in units of daily tonnage of raw mineral rocks extracted, averaged 1,059 tons/day (12-month average) during the fiscal year 2017.

 

The Merapoh Gold Mine is currently at the production stage. In the effort to expand production capacity, the Company intends to purchase more vehicles, machineries and equipment as well as to conduct feasibility studies for exploration of alluvial and lode gold resources.

 

Subcontractors

 

In an effort to enhance the efficiency of mine operations at the Merapoh Gold Mine, Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) entered into an Operation Term Sheet (“OTS”) agreement in July 2013 to outsource the exploitation works of alluvial gold resources at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine to a third party subcontractor Borneo Oil & Gas Corporation Sdn Bhd (“BOG”). However, BOG became the Company’s shareholder in January 29, 2014, and was no longer a third party subcontractor.

 

BOG has the experience and local knowledge in managing the exploitation of alluvial gold at the Merapoh Gold Mine. The Company currently intends to continue to outsource the exploitation of alluvial gold at our mine site to BOG as our third party subcontractor. The Company will provide necessary disclosure when any significant agreements have been made with the sub-contractor in the future.

 

Number of Employees

 

The Company had 3 employees during the year from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Company files its reports electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other electronic information regarding New Media and filed with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Change of Control

 

On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement for the Assignment of Management Right (“AAMA”) in Merapoh Gold Mines in Malaysia with Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”). Under the terms of the Agreement and relevant subsequent Supplemental Agreement, FMR assigned its management rights to the Company Board of Directors of FMR agreed to transfer 1 share common stock of Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”) which represented all shares of common stock of GBL owned by the Investor, and the Company’s Board of Directors agreed to issue 80,000,000 million shares of common stock in full value as consideration. At the time of closing under the AAMA, the Investor transferred 100% ownership of GBL shares to the Company, and the Company issued 80,000,000 million shares of common stock to the shareholders of FMR in exchange for the GBL Shares. The effect of the transaction was to make GBL and its deemed subsidiaries become wholly-owned and 85.00% owned subsidiaries of the Company, and to cause a change of control of GBL. Following the closing, there was a change of control in the Company.

 

The Transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” since FMR owned a majority of the outstanding shares of VRDR’s common stock immediately following the execution of the transaction. The Company was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that were reflected in the financial statements for periods prior to the transaction were those of the Company and its deemed subsidiaries, and were recorded at the historical cost basis of the Company. After completion of the transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements were include the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, the historical operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the transaction.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Risks Associated With Verde Resources, Inc.

 

We are dependent on certain key personnel and loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Messrs. Balakrishnan Muthu, our current principal executive officer and financial officer, has extensive contacts and experience in the gold exploration and natural resource industry in Malaysia, and we are dependent upon his abilities and services to develop and market our business. He is responsible for overseeing all of our day-to-day business operations of our operating company, CSB, and its subsidiaries and VIEs, including the mining operations and negotiations for the sales of any gold concentrates extracted. We may not be able to retain the executive officers/managers for any given period of time. The loss of their services could have a material adverse effect upon our business operations, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees in Malaysia to run our mining operations. Our ability to effectively implement our proposed business strategies and expand our operations will depend upon the successful recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and other key personnel in Malaysia. If we cannot maintain highly experienced and skilled management teams, our business could fail and you could lose any investment you make in our shares.

 

Since our business consists of managing gold mining projects, the drop in the price of gold would negatively impact our asset values, cash flows, potential revenues and profits.

 

We plan to pursue opportunities in properties with gold mineralized material or reserves with exploration potential. Our potential future revenues are expected to be derived from the production and sale of gold from these properties, or from the sale of some of these properties. The value of any gold reserves or other mineralized materials, and the value of any potential mineral production will vary in direct proportion to changes in those mineral prices. The price of gold has fluctuated widely as a result of numerous factors beyond our control. The effect of these factors on the price of gold and other minerals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our projects, cannot accurately be predicted. Any drop in the price of gold and other minerals we may produce would negatively affect our asset values, cash flows and potential revenues and profits.

 

We may not be able to find commercially viable reserves.

 

Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The reserve estimates, if any, are based only on prefeasibility studies that are inherited with the following drawbacks:

 

 

-

Limited amount of drilling completed to date;

 

-

The process testing is limited to small pilot plants and bench scale testing;

 

-

Difficulty in obtaining expected metallurgical recoveries when scaling up to production scale from pilot plant scale;

 

-

Preliminary nature of the mine plans and processing concepts;

 

-

Preliminary nature of operating and capital cost estimates

 

-

Metallurgical flow sheets and recoveries still in development;

 

-

Limited history of prefeasibility studies that might be underestimating capital and operating costs.

 

We cannot assure that any future mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of proven or probable reserves as defined by the SEC. Further, we cannot provide any assurance that, even if we discover commercial quantities of mineralization, a mineral property will be brought into commercial production. Development of our mineral property will follow only upon obtaining sufficient funding and satisfactory exploration results.

 

We may not be able to successfully compete with other mineral exploration and mining companies.

 

We compete with other mineral exploration and mining companies or individuals, including large, well established mining companies with substantial capabilities and financial resources in Malaysia, to research and acquire rights to mineral properties containing gold and other minerals. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim staking, lease or other acquisition in Malaysia. We do not know if we will be able to successfully acquire any prospective mineral properties against competitors with substantially greater financial resources than we have. If we cannot successfully acquire other mining properties to manage and explore and generally expand our business operations, our results of operations, financial condition and future revenues could be reduced and you could suffer a loss of any investment made in our shares.

We are subject to the many risks of doing business internationally, including but not limited to the difficulty of enforcing liabilities in foreign jurisdictions.

 

We are a Nevada corporation and, as such, are subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada and the United States courts for purposes of any lawsuit, action or proceeding by investors. An investor would have the ability to effect service of process in any action against the Company within the United States. In addition, we are registered as a foreign corporation doing business in Malaysia, and as such, are subject to the local laws of Malaysia governing an investors’ ability to bring actions in foreign courts and enforce liabilities against a foreign private issuer, or any person, based on U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, a final and conclusive judgment obtained by investors in U.S. courts would be recognized and enforceable against us in the Malaysia courts having jurisdiction without re-examination of the merits of the case.

 

Investors may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in Malaysia based upon U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws or other foreign laws against us or our management.

 

All of our current operations are conducted in Malaysia, and all of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of Malaysia and other foreign countries. All or substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States and in other foreign countries. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside Malaysia upon these persons. In addition, uncertainty exists as to whether the courts of Malaysia would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or such officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Malaysia against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

 

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

 

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Our executive officers and employees have not been subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prior to 2010. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Mining risks and insurance could negatively effect on our profitability.

 

The business of mining for gold is generally subject to a number of risks and hazards including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, pressures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment, and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, blizzards and earthquakes. At the present time, we have in effect statutory required social insurance for all employees and mine workers. There is currently no other insurance in place for the mining site and management, and even if we were to purchase additional insurance, we cannot be sure that such insurance would be available to us, or that we could afford the premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. In addition, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which we may not be insured against, or which we may elect not to insure against, because of premium costs or other reasons. Any losses from any of these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations, which could negatively impact any investment you make in our shares.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

Malaysian companies may not always adopt a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, which includes strong corporate governance, internal controls and computer, financial and other control systems. In addition, we may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in Malaysia. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards for foreign subsidiaries. As a result, we may experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This could result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

Changes in interest rates could negatively impact our results of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and fair value of net assets.

 

Our investment activities and credit guarantee activities expose us to interest rate and other market risks. Changes in interest rates, up or down, could adversely affect our net interest yield. Although the yield we earn on our assets and our funding costs tend to move in the same direction in response to changes in interest rates, either can rise or fall faster than the other, causing our net interest yield to expand or compress. For example, due to the timing of maturities or rate reset dates on variable-rate instruments, when interest rates rise, our funding costs may rise faster than the yield we earn on our assets. This rate change could cause our net interest yield to compress until the effect of the increase is fully reflected in asset yields. Changes in the slope of the yield curve could also reduce our net interest yield.

 

Interest rates can fluctuate for a number of reasons, including changes in the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, such as the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve policies directly and indirectly influence the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. The availability of derivative financial instruments (such as options and interest rate and foreign currency swaps) from acceptable counterparties of the types and in the quantities needed could also affect our ability to effectively manage the risks related to our investment funding. Our strategies and efforts to manage our exposures to these risks may not be effective in the future, which could negatively impact our results of operations and the price of our common stock.

 

The audit report included in our Annual Report was prepared by auditors who are not inspected by the Public Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and as a result, our shareholders are deprived of the benefit of having PCAOB inspections.

 

The independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB”, is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditors are located in Hong Kong SAR, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Hong Kong authorities, our auditors are not currently inspected by the PCAOB.

 

Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside Hong Kong SAR have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections in Hong Kong SAR prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditor’s statements, audits and quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

 

The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in Hong Kong SAR makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s quality control and audit procedures as compared to auditors outside of Hong Kong SAR that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

 

We may be exposed to risks relating to management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective.

 

We do not have an independent audit committee and our Board of Directors may be unable to fulfill the functions of such a committee, which may compromise the management of our business. Our Board of Directors functions as our audit committee and is comprised of two directors, none of whom are considered to be “independent” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An independent audit committee plays a crucial role in the corporate governance process, assessment of the Company’s processes relating to its risks and control environment, oversight of financial reporting, and evaluation of internal and independent audit processes. The lack of an independent audit committee may prevent the Board of Directors from being independent in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the committee’s responsibilities, which could compromise the management of our business.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

 

Our shares are defined as “penny stock.” The rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

 

Our shares are defined as a “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock, and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase.

 

Market for penny stock has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse

 

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

 

·

Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

·

Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

·

Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;

 

·

Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and,

 

·

The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

 

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Inability and unlikelihood to pay dividends

 

To date, we have not paid, nor do we intend to pay in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, even if we become profitable. Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to advance our activities and for general corporate purposes, rather than to make distributions to stockholders. Prospective investors will likely need to rely on an increase in the price of Company stock to profit from his or her investment. There are no guarantees that any market for our common stock will ever develop or that the price of our stock will ever increase.

 

Since we are not in a financial position to pay dividends on our common stock and future dividends are not presently being contemplated, investors are advised that return on investment in our common stock is restricted to an appreciation in the share price. The potential or likelihood of an increase in share price is questionable at best.

Item 2. Properties.

 

We do not currently own any properties.

 

On October 25, 2013, we entered into an Assignment Agreement For the Assignment of Management Right in Merapoh Gold Mines in Malaysia (“Assignment Agreement”) with Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

 

FMR owns 85% equity interest in Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”), a privately limited liability company incorporated in Malaysia. CSB is the Mining Contractor of the Mining Lease for Site IV-1 at the Merapoh Gold Mine under the Contract for Work with MMC Corporation Berhad, the Permit Holder of the Mining Lease.

 

Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, FMR assigned its management rights of CSB’s mining operation in the Mining Lease to the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”), in exchange for 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which constituted 95.26% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of and immediately after the consummation of the acquisition.

 

On April 1, 2014, the Board of Director of Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”) notified Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”) upon the decision to exercise the right of option to purchase 85% equity interest of Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) under Management Agreement Section 3.2.4 dated July 1, 2013, between GBL and FMR. The original agreement was filed with SEC as ex10-2.htm of Form 8K on February 20, 2014. This acquisition was completed on April 1, 2014, with consideration of US$1. GBL then became 85% shareholder of CSB.

The revenue derived from the sales of gold mineral to customers in Malaysia. The decrease of revenue for the period ended June 30, 2017 was mainly due to a decrease in gold production and gold sales during the period. The decrease of cost of revenue was mainly due to a decrease of salaries and depreciation and increased of closing stock as at period ended and weakness of average rate for MYR:USD compared with last year. (2017: 0.2329 2016: 0.2422). Operating expenses comprised mainly of salaries, office costs, legal and professional fees and travelling expenses. The decrease in operating expenses for the period was mainly due to the due to the weakness of average rate for MYR:USD as mentioned above, and a reduction in the provision for professional and consultancy fees payable to related companies.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our Industry and Principal Markets

 

As reported in the GFMS Annual Surveys 2017 released by Thomson Reuters, gold prices are likely to remain volatile in the near future, and the market is not expected to regain its composure as investors remain averse to risk. The forecast of a $1,259 average per ounce for 2017 is partly predicated on information contained in this report, but also on the expectation that the Indian market will start to find its feet again, helping to contain price weakness and providing a more stable backdrop for the returning investors. The longer term prognosis is for further price gains even against the headwind of the Federal Reserve raising rates.

 

In another forecast by Business Monitor International (BMI) in mid-2016, global gold mine output growth will continue to decelerate, as miners focus on cost-cutting and divesting from unprofitable assets in a weak price environment. BMI made the forecast for global gold production to increase slightly, from 98.4 million ounces in 2016 to 106 million ounces by 2020, averaging 1.8% growth. BMI also reported that the Malaysia’s mining industry is anticipated to reach US$38.7bn by 2017, growing at an annual average rate of 2.5% from 2011 levels. The bulk of this growth will be led by the country’s nascent gold mining sector, which has attracted a number of foreign investors in recent years. The mineral exploration activities are subject to extensive national and local government regulations in Malaysia, which regulations may be revised or expanded at any time. Generally, compliance with these regulations requires the company to obtain the permits issued by government regulatory agencies. Certain permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions. Malaysia provides an attractive mining legislative environment for foreign investors, but there is the risk that these laws will change once the country is able to attract enough foreign money.

Subcontractor

 

In an effort to enhance the efficiency of mine operations at the Merapoh Gold Mine, Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) entered into an Operation Term Sheet (“OTS”) agreement in July 2013, to outsource the exploitation works of alluvial gold resources at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine to a third party subcontractor Borneo Oil & Gas Corporation Sdn Bhd (“BOG”).

 

BOG has the experience and local knowledge in managing the exploitation of alluvial gold at the Merapoh Gold Mine. The Company currently intends to continue to outsource the exploitation of alluvial gold at our mine site to BOG as our third party subcontractor. The Company will provide necessary disclosure when any significant agreements have been made with the sub-contractor in the future.

 

BOG became the Company’s shareholder in January 29, 2014, and was no longer a third party subcontractor.

 

Expansion Plans

 

At present, we are well positioned working with our third party subcontractor, who has the experience and local knowledge to manage our exploitation of alluvial gold at the Merapoh Gold Mine. The Company believes that there are excellent growth opportunities for its business outside Malaysia. We are constantly exploring for potential acquisition of mining projects in other parts of the world.

 

The Company is currently operating the gold mining operation at a small scale and is still at its initial stages to expand the production capacity of the gold mining operation. The Company has purchased a number of units of vehicles such as excavators, wheel loader, mobile mining equipment, motor vehicles and trucks for the mining of alluvial gold at the Mining Area. In the effort to expand production capacity, the Company intends to purchase more vehicles, machineries and equipment as well as to conduct feasibility studies for exploration of alluvial and lode gold resources.

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary company Gold Billion Global Ltd (“GBL”) entered into a letter of intent with Xinjiang Changhe Mining Co., Ltd (“XCM”) on September 29, 2014. Under the letter of intent, GBL has offered to acquire ownership in XCM for the Ayigate Gold Project subject to due diligence. The Ayigate gold mine is located within the Tianshan region in Wuqia County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. After several discussions, the Company decided not to proceed with the offer to acquire ownership in XCM.

 

As our business is affected by the fluctuations of gold prices, the Company intends to diversify its product line by acquiring mining projects with potential for different mineral resources other than gold. We continue to hold discussions with other mining companies for potential collaboration to carry out exploration and exploitation works on other mineral resources in Southeast Asia regions.

 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

 

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had incurred net loss from operation of $417,971 which posted a negative impact to the company’s cash flow. The reconciliation on non-cash items such as depreciation provides negative impact on cash.

 

In the operation analysis, the net cash used in operating activities increased from $32,387 to $205,297 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The operation loss of $417,971 was partially offset by the noncash expenses such as $118,662 in depreciation. In the operating assets and liabilities, the net decrease in current assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory and deposits was $105,474 whereas the net increase in current liabilities, such as accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advanced from sub-contractor & related parties and taxation payable was $11,462, which provided $212,674 positive cash flow effect but not enough to offset the $417,971 loss in operation and loss from non-cash loss in the reorganization. The final result of the cash flow from operating activities was $205,297 negative cash flow effect.

 

In the investing and financing analysis, the repayments of bank loans end up with a negative cash flow of $25,663. On September 29, 2016, the Company issued a total of 4,750,000 common shares and generated $190,000 positive cash flow. The positive factors contribute to offset the negative operating cash flow. In addition, the net decrease in exchange rate effect of $63,463 also provided positive cash flow effect. The cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 30, 2017, was increased by $22,503 with $38,616 as balance.

 

The cash flow situation will not allow for operations in the coming next 12 months by self-generated cash provided from operating activities. The Company needs to increase cash flow supplies with a long term plan until the Company makes sustainable profits and has a positive cash flow. Otherwise, loans from related parties may be a temporary solution, although we have no written loan agreements. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure adequate financing. If we fail to secure sufficient funds, our business activities may be curtailed, or we may cease to operate.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Verde Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency and accumulated deficit from recurring net losses as of June 30, 2017. All these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Verde Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “VRDR”) was incorporated on April 22, 2010, in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.

 

Gold Billion Global Limited (“Gold Billion” or “GBL”) was incorporated in British Virgin Islands on February 7, 2013. GBL is setup by the Board of Director of Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”). The major operation of GBL is to manage and monitor the mineral exploration and mining projects of FMR.

 

On July 1, 2013, FMR has assigned its rights and obligation on Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) to GBL. Four of the five members of CSB Board of Directors were appointed by FMR, with two of the GBL Board of Directors currently sitting on the CSB Board. According to ASC 810-05-08 A, CSB is a deemed subsidiary of GBL where it has controlled the CSB Board of Directors, has assigned rights to receive future benefits and residual value, and obligation to absorb loss and finance for CSB by GBL. GBL has the power to direct the activities of CSB that most significantly impact CSB’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of CSB that could potentially be significant to the CSB or the right to receive benefits from CSB that could potentially be significant to CSB. GBL is the primary beneficiary of CSB because it has been assigned with all relevant rights and obligation and can direct the activities of CSB through the common directors and the 85% shareholder, FMR. Under 810-23-42, 43, it is determined that CSB is de-facto agent of GBL and GBL is the de-facto principal of CSB. GBL will start to consolidate CSB from July 1, 2013 and the Company will consolidated GBL and CSB from October 25, 2013 onwards.

 

On February 17, 2014, the Company entered into a Supplementary Agreement to the Assignment Agreement and completed an acquisition of GBL pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement. The acquisition was a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40 “Reverse Acquisitions”. The legal parent was VRDR which was the accounting acquiree while GBL was the accounting acquirer. There was a 15% non-controlling interest of Champmark SDN BHD (“CSB”) after the acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein GBL with its 85% deemed subsidiary CSB was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

 

As a result of the acquisition, the Company holds 100% equity interest in GBL and 85% variable interest in CSB. Our consolidated subsidiaries include GBL being our wholly-owned subsidiary and 85% of CSB being a variable interest entity (VIE) and deemed subsidiary of GBL.

 

On March 17, 2014, the Company through GBL and its deemed subsidiary CSB entered into a Sub-Contract Agreement with Borneo Oil & Gas Corporation Sdn Bhd (“BOG”) for the engagement of its sub-contractor services to carry out exploration and exploitation works on alluvial and lode gold resources at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars ($). Financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated audited financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Verde Resources, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”) and the 85% of the deemed subsidiary variable interest of Champmark SDN BHD (“CSB”). All inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary and variable interest entity (VIE) have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 810-10-5-8, “Variable Interest Entities”, which requires a variable interest entity or VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

On July 1, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, GBL entered into a series of agreements (“VIE agreements”) with FMR and details of the VIE agreements are as follows :

 

 

1.

Management Agreement, FMR entrusted the management rights of its subsidiary CSB to GBL that include:

 

i)

management and administrative rights over the day-to-day business affairs of CSB and the mining operation at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Gold Mine;

 

ii)

final right for the appointment of members to the Board of Directors and the management team of CSB;

 

iii)

act as principal of CSB;

 

iv)

obligation to provide financial support to CSB;

 

v)

option to purchase an equity interest in CSB;

 

vi)

entitlement to future benefits and residual value of CSB;

 

vii)

right to impose no dividend policy;

 

viii)

human resources management.

 

 

2.

Debt Assignment, FMR assigned to GBL the sum of money in the amount of US Dollars One Hundred Nine Thousand Eight Hundred One And Cents Seventy-Two Only (US$ 109,801.72), now due to GBL from CSB under the financing obligation from the FMR to CSB.

 

With the above agreements, GBL demonstrates its ability to control CSB as the primary beneficiary and the operating results of the VIE was included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.

 

On April 1, 2014, the Board of Director of GBL notified FMR upon the decision to exercise the right of option to purchase 85% equity interest of CSB under Management Agreement Section 3.2.4 dated July 1, 2013 between GBL and FMR. This acquisition was completed on April 1, 2014 with consideration of US$1. GBL then became 85% shareholder of CSB and is required to consolidate CSB as a subsidiary.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $38,616 and $16,113 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts, as per management’s judgment based on their best knowledge. As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the longest credit term for certain customers are 60 days.

 

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables and reviews accounts receivable by amounts due by customers which are past due to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the reserve, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on past collection experience and ongoing credit risk evaluations. At June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Fair Value

 

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

 

These tiers include:

 

 

·

Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

·

Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

·

Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, payables, and short term and long term debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, and payables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of long term debt approximates the fair value of debt of similar terms and remaining maturities available to the company.

 

The Company’s non-financial assets are measured on a recurring basis. These non-financial assets are measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. For most assets, ASC 820 requires that the impact of changes resulting from its application be applied prospectively in the year in which the statement is initially applied.

 

The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. ASC 820 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the re-measurement at fair value is performed.

 

The Company did not have any convertible bonds as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar (“$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s functional currency is the Malaysian Ringgit ( “MYR”) which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Translation of Financial Statements” , capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from MYR at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the respective year. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation changes.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company currently engages in one operation segment: Gold Mining. The expenses incurred were consisting principally of management services. The Company’s major operation is located in Malaysia.

 

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on April 22, 2010. It has been primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. The Company was no longer considered to be in the exploration stage after the reverse take-over with its subsidiary GBL.

 

Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

 

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

The Company derives revenues primarily from the sales of gold mineral to registered gold trading companies in Malaysia. The Company generally recognizes its revenues at the time of gold sales and its selling price is determined by the prevailing market value of gold bullion quoted by the leading registered gold trading company in Malaysia. Sales invoice will be duly presented to the trading companies when delivery is completed and revenue is then recognized.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The cost of revenue consists of exploration cost, mine equipment depreciation, production cost, mine site management cost, sub-contractor cost, and royalty and tribute payment which are levied on the gross revenue at the rate of 18% on the invoiced value of gold sales.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred under ASC Topic 720, “Advertising Costs” . Advertising expenses incurred for the years ended June 30, 2017 and year ended June 30, 2016 were $0.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 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 years 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. As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU affects public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities.

 

 
F-11
 
Table of Contents

 

The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by:

 

-

Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income;

 

 

- Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; -Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements;

 

 

- Eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities;

 

 

- Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and

 

 

- Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

 

The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the new guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

The new guidance permits early adoption of the own credit provision. In addition, the new guidance permits early adoption of the provision that exempts private companies and not-for-profit organizations from having to disclose fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

 

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .

 

Under the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

- A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and-A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

 

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .

 

The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing.

 

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Nonpublic business entities should apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for a calendar year entity), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance.

Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments relate to when another party, along with the entity, is involved in providing a good or service to a customer. Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (i.e., the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (i.e., the entity is an agent).

 

The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by clarifying the following:

 

- An entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to a customer.

 

 

- An entity determines the nature of each specified or service (e.g., whether it is a good, service, or a right to a good or service).

 

 

- When another entity is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of: (a) a good or another asset from the other party that it then transfers to the customer; (b) a right to a service that will be performed by another party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity’s behalf; or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services to provide the specified good or service to the customer.

 

 

- The purpose of the indicators in paragraph 606-10-55-39 is to support or assist in the assessment of control. The amendments in paragraph 606-10-55-39A clarify that the indicators may be more or less relevant to the control assessment and that one or more indicators may be more or less persuasive to the control assessment, depending on the facts and circumstances.

 

The amendments amend certain existing illustrative examples and add additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance.

 

The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Private entities must apply the amendments one year later.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees.

 

Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: ( a ) income tax consequences; ( b ) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and ( c ) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments also simplify two areas specific to private companies:

 

1. Practical Expedient for Expected Term: In lieu of estimating the period of time that a share-based award will be outstanding, private companies can now apply a practical expedient to estimate the expected term for all awards with performance or service conditions that have certain characteristics.

 

 

2. Intrinsic Value: Private companies can now make a one-time election to switch from measuring all liability-classified awards at fair value to measuring them at intrinsic value. Previously, private companies were provided an option to measure all liability-classified awards at intrinsic value, but some private companies were unaware of that option.

 

 
F-13
 
Table of Contents

 

Accounting for employee share-based awards was identified by the Private Company Council (PCC) as an area of concern among private company stakeholders. The PCC worked with the FASB to discuss and analyze the issues that private companies have encountered in this area when applying the standard. The PCC also asked the FASB staff to conduct outreach with users as a part of the FASB’s pre-agenda research on the topic.

 

The FASB also considered the conclusions in the Financial Accounting Foundation’s Post-Implementation Review Report on Statement 123(R), Share-Based Payment . Though the report concluded that the prior standard achieved its purpose, it noted that certain areas within Statement 123(R) may be costly and difficult to apply.

 

For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing . The amendments clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606.

 

The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. Public entities should apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application for public entities is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The effective date for nonpublic entities is deferred by one year.

 

Identifying Performance Obligations

 

Before an entity can identify its performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract. The amendments add the following guidance:

 

1. An entity is not required to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

 

 

2. An entity is permitted, as an accounting policy election, to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than as an additional promised service.

 

To identify performance obligations in a contract, an entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. The amendments improve the guidance on assessing the promises are separately identifiable criterion by:

 

1. Better articulating the principle for determining whether promises to transfer goods or services to a customer are separately identifiable by emphasizing that an entity determines whether the nature of its promise in the contract is to transfer each of the goods or services or whether the promise is to transfer a combined item (or items) to which the promised goods and/or services are inputs.

 

 

2. Revising the related factors and examples to align with the improved articulation of the separately identifiable principle.

Licensing Implementation Guidance

 

Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance by clarifying the following:

 

1. An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality (e.g., the ability to process a transaction, perform a function or task, or be played or aired) does not include supporting or maintaining that intellectual property during the license period.

 

 

2. An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to symbolic intellectual property (that is, intellectual property that does not have significant standalone functionality) includes supporting or maintaining that intellectual property during the license period.

 

 

3. An entity considers the nature of its promise in granting a license, regardless of whether the license is distinct, in order to apply the other guidance in Topic 606 to a single performance obligation that includes a license and other goods or services (in particular, the guidance on determining whether a performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and the guidance on how best to measure progress toward the complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time).

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations.

 

The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.

 

Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.

 

The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

 

The ASU is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). For public companies that are not SEC filers, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other organizations, the ASU on credit losses will take effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.

 

Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, clarifying the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.

 

The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. They also provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable.

 

For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. For all other companies and organizations, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.

 

A contract may involve the transfer of both nonfinancial assets and financial assets (e.g., cash and receivables). The amendments clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments also define the term in substance nonfinancial asset.

 

 
F-16
 
Table of Contents

 

The amendments clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. A contract that includes the transfer of ownership interests in one or more consolidated subsidiaries is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets.

 

The amendments clarify that an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it.

 

The amendments are effective at the same time Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-07, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments apply to all employers, including not-for-profit entities, that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits.

 

The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed.

 

The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (e.g., as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset).

 

The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. For other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 applies to entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.

 

The FASB adopted ASU 2017-09 to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to the modification of the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.

 

Diversity in practice has arisen in part because some entities apply modification accounting under Topic 718 for modifications to terms and conditions that they consider substantive, but do not when they conclude that particular modifications are not substantive. Others apply modification accounting for any change to an award, except for changes that they consider purely administrative in nature. Still others apply modification accounting when a change to an award changes the fair value, the vesting, or the classification of the award. In practice, it appears that the evaluation of a change in fair value, vesting, or classification may be used to evaluate whether a change is substantive.

 

Although the Master Glossary of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ currently defines the term modification as “a change in any of the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award,” Topic 718 does not contain guidance on what changes are substantive or purely administrative.

 

The amendments in ASU 2017-09 include guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.

 

 
F-18
 
Table of Contents

 

These amendments require the entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following conditions are met:

 

· The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or value using an alternative measurement method) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification;

 

 

· The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and

 

 

· The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

 

The amendments are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for: (a) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and (b) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

Independent Accountants:

 

On October 25, 2016, our independent public accounting firm, DCAW (CPA) Limited, changed its name to Centurion ZD CPA Limited. We were not required to file a current report on Form 8-K under item 4.01 for this event.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. With the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 based on the COSO framework criteria.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

As of August 27, 2014, the Company’s common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, officers, directors and principal shareholders are subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. As of the date of this Annual Report, no officer or director has filed beneficial ownership reports as required by Section 16(a).

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a corporate code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

Until the Company develops a more comprehensive Board of Directors, all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders.

If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

 

Audit Committee

 

Currently, the Company is developing a comprehensive Board of Directors and does not have an Audit Committee. The Company intends to appoint audit, compensation and other applicable committee members as it appoints individuals with pertinent expertise.

(1)

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 25, 2017. As of September 25, 2017, there were 96,038,909 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

Balakrishnan Muthu, our President, CFO and a director, and Chen Ching, our director have not filed their respective Forms 3. These shareholders expect to file the forms in the near future.

 

Changes in Control

 

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements on Form 10-K, and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

(1)

Audit fees consist of fees incurred for professional services rendered for the audit of our financial statements, for reviews of our interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements.

 

 

(2)

Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, but are not reported under “Audit fees.”

 

 

(3)

Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance only.

 

 

(4)

All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.

 

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
