NOTE 4. ADVANCES

On August 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Charles E. Hill and Associates (“Investor”) under which the Investor agreed to finance an exploration to find the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship that sank in 1511 with a rumored large cargo of treasures. Undertaking this project is contingent on finalizing an agreement with the Government of Indonesia. The Investor is an entity controlled by a minority shareholder of the Company.

 

As of April 30, 2016, the Investor had provided advances of $110,000 under this Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide the Investor with periodic budgets and documentation of expenses relating to the project. If anything is recovered from the project, the Company’s share will be split evenly with the Investor after expenses are reimbursed. If a contract with Indonesia is executed, it is likely that the contract will specify that the Company will have to split the proceeds of any recovery with Indonesia.

 

If a contract is not reached with Indonesia, the Advance will be applied to any other contract that is executed by the Company.
