ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
Aurum, Inc. ("Aurum” or the “Company") is a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in Florida as Liquid Financial Engines, Inc. The principal stockholder of Aurum is Golden Target Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation (“Golden”), which owned 96.21% of Aurum as of January 31, 2015.
 
On January 20, 2010, the Company re-incorporated in the state of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) through a merger involving Liquid Financial Engines Inc. (“Liquid”) and Aurum, Inc., a Delaware Corporation that was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid. The Reincorporation was effected by merging Liquid with Aurum, with Aurum being the surviving entity. For financial reporting purposes Aurum is deemed a successor to Liquid.
 
In July 2009, Golden acquired a 96% interest in Aurum from certain stockholders. In connection therewith, the Company appointed a new President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer/Secretary and a new sole Director. The sole director and stockholder of Golden is also the President of the Company.
 
Commencing August 2009, the Company decided to focus on mineral exploration for gold and copper in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao P.D.R or Laos).
 
In December 2010, the Company executed a Management and Shareholders Agreement with Argonaut Overseas Investments Ltd (“AOI”), an indirectly wholly owned Subsidiary of Argonaut Resources N.L., in respect to Argonaut’s 70% held Century Concession in Laos. The agreement appointed Aurum as the manager of the Century Thrust Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) and the Company had the right to earn 72.86% of AOI’s interest in the Joint Venture which was equivalent to a 51% beneficial interest in the Century Concession.
 
The Century Concession expired in fiscal 2014 and was not renewed. As a result, the Company no longer has any exploration interests in Laos.
 
The Company has now commenced a search for new projects that the Company may be able to acquire an interest in.
 
The Company’s ability to continue operations for the foreseeable future is dependent upon future funding from affiliated entities, capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash flows, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
