At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company.

· | Income taxes |
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “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.
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, income tax payable, amount due to related parties, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices for interest rates on similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and long term bank loan approximates the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
· | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

(c) | Credit risk |
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) | Interest rate risk |
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from bank loans and finance lease. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest-rate risk. Company policy is to maintain approximately all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments. At the period-end, the bank borrowings were at fixed and floating rates.
(e) | Exchange rate risk |
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR and RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$, MYR and RMB. If MYR and RMB depreciates against US$, the value of MYR and RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose it to substantial market risk.
(f) | Economic and political risks |
Substantially all of the Company’s services are conducted in Malaysia, the PRC and Asian region. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Malaysia. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations in Malaysia.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) | Operating lease commitment |
The Company leases certain office premises under operating lease that expire at various dates through 2014. The leases, which cover periods from one to two years, generally provide for renewal options at specified rental amounts.

The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Overview
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we had four business segments: (i) the provision of IT consulting, programming and website development services; (ii) our oilseeds business; (iii) our real estate business and (iv) the distribution of consumer products. Our software, oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for all of our revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2013. We did not generate any revenues from the distribution of consumer products during such period. Summarized financial information regarding each revenue generating segment for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 is as follows:

Our software business and consumer distribution products businesses are based in Malaysia and operated through UHT. Our oilseeds business consists of a palm oil plantation located in Malaysia, which is operated through Virtual Setup Sdn. Bhd., or VSSB, and a castor seeds distribution business based in China which is operated through Shenzhen Max Trend Green Energy Company Limited, a wholly foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, or Max Trend WFOE. Our real estate business consists of commercial real estate holdings in Malaysia and is operated through PGCG Assets Holding Sdn. Bhd.
History
Our initial business plan launched in July 2010 broadly contemplated the development, distribution and operation of mobile and online social networking, ecommerce and search products and services. However, as a result of the challenges we experienced in implementing our m-commerce business plan, we entered the oilseeds and real estate businesses in 2012 and scaled back our software and consumer goods distribution businesses. Since the commencement of our these business segments, we (through our subsidiaries):
· | Acquired a palm oil plantation in Malaysia which is operated through VSSB (May 2012); |
· | Commenced sales of castor seeding and provision of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement through our subsidiaries Max Trend International Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, or Max Trend HK, which owns Max Trend WFOE (during quarter ended July 31, 2012); |
· | Became a party to a trial planting arrangement with Srira Cha province, Thailand, for the cultivation of castor plants (indefinitely suspended); |
· | Acquired 21.8921 hectares (54.10 acres) of vacant development land located in Selangor, Malaysia, which is subject to a 99-year leasehold, expiring July 30, 2100 (July 26, 2012); |
· | Acquired Dunford Corporation Sdn. Bhd., or Dunford, whose primary assets consist of two parcels of undeveloped land located in Selangor, Malaysia aggregating approximately 31 acres (October 17, 2012); |
· | Acquired a 15 story commercial building located at Geran 10010, Lot 238 Section 43, Town and District of Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (December 2012); and |
· | Acquired a 12 story commercial building located at Megan Avenue 1, No. 189, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (July 2013). |
Fluctuating Revenues
In focusing on our real estate and oilseeds business segments, we significantly decreased our investment in our consumer product distribution operations and our software business activities. As a result, we did not generate any revenue from our consumer product business segment during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 and do not expect this business segment to generate significant revenues in the near future.
We had also expected our software business segment to account for a decreasing share of our net revenue on a going forward basis. However, we find that our software revenue may fluctuate significantly depending upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities thus making it difficult for us to predict future software related revenue. For example, our sales consulting/website development activities did not generate any revenue for each of the three months ended July 31, 2013, and April 30, 2013, but accounted for approximately 96.4% of our net revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2013. Software revenue accounted for approximately 88.7% and 15.1% of our net revenue for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
As we transition from an m-commerce to oilseeds and real estate company, we may continue to experience significant fluctuations in revenue which may cause our gross profit to fluctuate. Historically, we experienced higher profit margins with respect to software derived revenue and consulting revenue (arising from consultation to castor farmers) as compared to rental income revenue and oil palm plantation derived revenue. Accordingly, to the extent our revenue composition shifts from software or consulting services to rental income or palm oil plantation revenue, we expect our profit margins to also decrease.

Challenges From Our Oilseeds Operations
As a result of unexpected changes in the political climate in Srira Cha, Thailand, our trial planting arrangement there has been indefinitely suspended. Accordingly, management has decided to focus on the maintenance and operation of its oil palm plantation in Malaysia. Management believes that the value of its oil palm plantation has increased since its acquisition, and while it has not pursued any discussions or received any formal offers regarding the sale of its plantation, it may consider selling sales offers in the future if a sale would maximize return to its investors.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the pricing for castor seeds and palm oil products was generally soft. As a result, while we have increased the output of our oil palm plantation, we were not able to achieve our anticipated revenue increases.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, we did not generate revenue from the sale of castor seeds or from the provision of consulting services to castor farmers. Management believes that its castor business operates at a competitive disadvantage due to China’s tax policies, which favor local enterprises. As a result and together with the soft pricing for castor seeds, our ability to effectively compete has been adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully compete by the end of calendar year 2013, there is a great likelihood that we will discontinue the distribution of castor seeds in China.
Challenges From Our Real Estate Operations
Commercial Buildings
We expect demand for commercial property to remain steady and positive for the remainder of 2013 and 2014. As a result, we do not anticipate significant challenges in leasing out or 12 story and 15 story commercial buildings.
We currently generate rental income from our 12 story and 15 story commercial properties and anticipate generating income from the sale of developed properties. As July 31, 2013, 10 of the 12 stories of our 12 story building have been leased to tenants at market rates. Most of these tenants are parties to two year leases. We expect to generate approximately $185,000 of gross rental income on an annualized basis from our 12 story building based upon full occupancy of our 12 story building at prevailing market rates.
We are in discussions to lease our 15 story building to a prospective tenant that intends to convert the building into a business hotel. Consummation of the lease will be dependent upon the receipt of city approval for the building conversion, which we hope to occur on or about March 2014. We anticipate that the lease will have a term of 10 years with gross rental income of approximately $2,284,000 per annum. If the business operations of our tenant are adversely affected, we will be required to seek replacement tenants. There can be no assurance that the business operations of our tenant will continue for the term of the lease or that we will be able to find a replacement tenant if our tenant is no longer able to meet its lease obligations. If we are unable to lease out the building, our operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
Residential Property Development
We believe that the outlook for residential properties will remain positive for the remainder of 2013 and 2014, based upon Malaysia’s stable employment outlook, growth in household income, formation of new households, and increased demand for affordable residential property from first time home buyers. Developers, however, are facing challenges of inconsistent supply and high cost of labor, increased costs of building materials (such as cement and steel bars) and general increased costs of doing business.
Our market is also sensitive to changes in lending rates and lending requirements as many homebuyers rely on financing to make purchases. As a result, government or bank policies that result in increased interest rates and or stricter lending requirements may adversely affect the sales of our developed properties.
26 |
We are in the process of preparing preliminary conceptual planning and market studies with respect to our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project located in Selangor, Malaysia. We hope to submit buildings plans in the fourth calendar quarter of 2013 and commence construction in the first calendar quarter of 2014. We hope to complete construction by the end of calendar 2019. We intend to commence sales activities in the second calendar quarter of 2014.
We believe that we will require approximately $2.5 million to obtain the necessary permits and $3 million to commence the first of six phases of construction. We believe that we will require approximately $15 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project. We hope to finance the $15 million through a combination of loans, funds from building sales and operating capital.
We do not intend to commence development of our Bandar Sungai Long High Grade Villas Community project until we have successfully sold Phase 2 of the Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project. If we are not able to successfully develop, market and sell our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project, we may not be able to complete all or any portion of our Bandar Sungai Long High Grade Villas Community project.
As of July 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $810,478 and advances to an oilseed supplier of $890,536. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased due to the consummation of the purchase of a 12 story commercial building. Our acquisition was financed in part by bank loans from RHB Bank Berhad, the terms of which were disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013. We may at any time elect to sell our properties under development, undeveloped properties or commercial properties, if opportunities arise that we believe will maximize overall asset values.
Approval to Initiate Uplisting Process
On December 12, 2011, our board of directors approved, authorized and directed our officers to initiate the process for listing shares of the Company’s common stock on one or more U.S. national securities exchanges including the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange. We intend to delay uplisting efforts until the end of calendar 2014 to focus on implementing our business plan.

Comparison of the three months ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012
Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $77,357 and $553,535 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2013, our oilseeds and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 60.5% and 39.5% of our net revenue. We did not generate any revenue from our software and consumer product distribution business segments. For the same period ended July 31, 2012, plantation sales accounting for $548,903, or approximately 99.2% of net revenues, and software sales accounting for $4,632, or approximately 0.8% of net revenues.
The decrease in net revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2013, reflects the significant decrease in our oilseeds revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2013, as compared to our oilseeds revenue for the same period ended July 31, 2012. The decrease in our oilseeds revenue is attributable to two factors. First, oilseeds revenue generated during the quarter ended July 31, 2012, was primarily derived from consulting services provided to castor farmers. We did not provide such consulting services during the quarter ended July 31, 2013. Second, while we have increased the output of our oil palm plantation, we were not able to achieve the associated revenue increases due to the recent downturn in oil palm pricing. We hope to increase our oilseeds revenue in or about the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2013 (which is harvest season for castor seeds) when we are able to resume our distribution of castor seeds, together with revenue increases associated with any recovery of the oil palm market.
Our real estate related revenues increased as we increased tenancy rates of our commercial buildings. Except with respect to revenue from software sales which may fluctuate unpredictably in the near future and assuming a resumption of trading castor seeds, we generally expect our oilseeds and real estate related revenues to gradually account for an increasing share of our net revenue in the future as those business segments continue to develop.
We expect our software revenue to continue to fluctuate depending upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities.
We did not derive any revenue from product sales in three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. On a going forward basis, we expect to make product sales only as such opportunities may arise. Accordingly, we do not expect product sales to account for a significant portion of our net revenues.
Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 59.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2013, with our oilseeds and software businesses accounting for 83.3% and 16.7% of our cost of revenues. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 9% for the three months ended July 31, 2012, and consisted primarily of the costs related to the palm oil business such as rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues. The increase is primarily attributable to the higher cost of revenue associated with our oilseeds revenue (excluding consulting based revenue) as compared to the lower cost of revenue associated with software derived revenues and consulting revenues. Cost of revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2013, consisted primarily of costs related to the palm oil business such as rental of plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree and software purchase costs, costs of labor that are directly attributable to the sale of software. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.
We expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds and real estate businesses to continue to increase and those attributable to our trading business to decrease as our oilseeds and real estate businesses continue to develop. We expect cost of revenue of our software business to fluctuate together with the amount of net revenues generated by this business segment.

Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $31,176 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to $5033,851 for the three months ended July 31, 2012. All of our gross profit for the three-month period ended July 31, 2013, is attributable to our real estate and oilseeds operations as our software business segment experienced a gross loss of $7,704. As of July 31, 2012, software sales and plantation sales accounted for approximately 0.8% and 99.2% of our gross profit. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to two factors. First, oilseeds revenue generated during the quarter ended July 31, 2012, was primarily derived from consulting services provided to castor farmers. We did not provide such consulting services during the quarter ended July 31, 2013. Second, while we have increased the output of our oil palm plantation, we were not able to achieve the associated revenue increases due to the recent downturn in oil palm pricing.
We expect gross profit derived from our oilseeds and real estate businesses to gradually increase as those segments develop and the oil palm market recovers. We expect gross profits attributable to our software business to fluctuate according to the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We do not expect our trading business segment to contribute significantly to our gross profit.
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $398,622 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, which includes an accrual of $100,000 for a possible tax penalty assessed by the IRS for failure to file a US tax return. This represents a decrease of $178,034, as compared to $576,656 for the three months ended July 31, 2012. The decrease in G&A is primarily attributable to decreased activity in our castor operations.
We did not make any significant investments in our consumer goods and software businesses and did not generate sales in the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. We expect to continue relying on the personal relationships of our executive officers and directors in generating sales on a going forward basis and do not expect our consumer goods and software business segments to contribute significantly to our G&A expenses.
As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we acquire real estate or other businesses and assets. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 515.3% and 104% for the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the percentage of G&A as a percentage of net revenue is attributable to the decrease in our oilseeds revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2013.
Other Income (Expense), net. We incurred net other expense of $637,893 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to net other income of $380,051 for the three months ended July 31, 2012. Net other expense for the three months ended July 31, 2013, consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax credit of 28,993 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to income tax expense of $101,669 for the same period ended July 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to our decrease in revenues. For the three months ended July 31, 2013, we incurred a loss before income taxes. Tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax was approximately 33.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2012.
Comparison of the nine months ended July 31, 2013 to the nine months ended July 31, 2012

Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $1,826,829 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 with software sales, plantation sales and rental income accounting for approximately 88.7%, 8% and 3.3%, respectively, of net revenues. For the same period ended July 31, 2012, we generated net revenue of $1,416,659 with plantation sales accounting for $1,202,130, or approximately 84.9% of net revenues and software sales accounting for $214,529, or approximately 15.1% of net revenues. The increase in net revenue for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013, reflects the increase in our software revenue, offset by a decrease in our oilseeds revenue.
The decrease in our oilseeds revenue is attributable to two factors. First, oilseeds revenue generated during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2012, was primarily derived from consulting services provided to castor farmers. We did not provide such consulting services during the same period ended July 31, 2013. Second, while we have increased the output of our oil palm plantation, we were not able to achieve the associated revenue increases due to the recent downturn in oil palm pricing. We hope to increase our oilseeds revenue in or about the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2013 (which is harvest season for castor seeds) when we are able to resume our distribution of castor seeds, together with revenue increases associated with any recovery of the oil palm market.
We expect revenue derived from our oilseeds and real estate businesses to gradually increase as those segments develop and the oil palm market recovers. We expect net revenues attributable to our software business to fluctuate according to the availability of immediate sales opportunities.
We did not derive any revenue from product sales in nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. On a going forward basis, we expect to make product sales only as such opportunities may arise. Accordingly, we do not expect product sales to account for a significant portion of our net revenues.
Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 6.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 with software sales and plantation sales accounting for approximately 19% and 81%, respectively. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 17.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2012, with software sales and plantation sales accounting for approximately 11.7% and 88.3%, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower cost of revenue associated with the software derived revenue and consulting revenue as compared to the cost of revenue associated with oilseeds revenue (excluding oilseeds related consulting revenue). Cost of revenue for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013, consisted primarily of software purchase costs, costs of labor that are directly attributable to the sale of software and costs related to the palm oil business such as rental of plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.
We expect our cost of revenue attributable to our oilseeds and real estate businesses to continue to increase and those attributable to our trading business to decrease as our oilseeds and real estate businesses continue to develop. We expect cost of revenue of our software business to fluctuate together with the amount of net revenues generated by this business segment.
Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $1,714,104 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to $1,173,574 for the same period in 2012. Our software, oilseeds and real estate business segments accounted for approximately 93.3%, 3.2% and 3.5%, respectively, of our gross profit during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013. Software and oilseeds business segments accounted for approximately 29.3% and 70.7% of our gross profit for the same period ended April 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013, reflects the increase in our software revenue, offset by a decrease in our oilseeds revenue.

We did not provide such consulting services during the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

We expect gross profits attributable to our software business to fluctuate according to the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We do not expect our trading business segment to contribute significantly to our gross profit.
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $1,126,242 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, representing a decrease of $67,403, or approximately 6%, as compared to $1,193,645 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012. The decrease in G&A is primarily attributable to Decreased activity in our castor operations. We believe that G&A expenses may continue to increase in the future as we continue developing our oilseeds and real estate operations.
We did not make any significant investments in our consumer goods business and did not generate sales in the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. We expect to continue relying on the personal relationships of our executive officers and directors in generating sales on a going forward basis and do not expect our consumer goods business to incur significant G&A expenses.
As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we acquire real estate or other businesses and assets. However, we expect G&A as a percentage of net revenue to decrease as our net revenue increases. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 56.2% and 84.25% for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Other Income (Expense). We incurred other expense of $983,800 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to other income of $728,002 for the nine months ended July 31, 2012. Other expense for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2013 consisted primarily of interest expense of $668,331, realized loss on sale of marketable securities of $360,256, offset by dividend income of $26,005 and other income of $18,782.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $310,698 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013, as compared to $221,035 for the same period ended July 31, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in income generated from our operations during the nine months ended July 31, 2013. Tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax was approximately 31.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2012. We experienced a net loss before income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $810,478 and advances to an oilseed supplier of $890,536. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased due to the consummation of the purchase of a 12 story commercial building. Our acquisition was financed in part by bank loans from RHB Bank Berhad, the terms of which were disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013.
We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future, including the contractual obligations that we have assumed discussed below, to consummate the purchase of our commercial property and begin development activities. We also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a large accelerated filer, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and increased professional fees.
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in product development, acquisitions or expansion; consequently, we do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
31 |
The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and public offerings, capital leases and long-term debt. In fiscal year 2012, we raised $30.4 million from sales of our securities to existing shareholders including $20,890,272 from Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed below are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $238,839, which consisted primarily of increases in advances from third parties of $597,530, realized gains from sale of marketable securities of $360,256, an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $509,434, an increase in income tax payables of $244,529 offset by a decrease in advances to suppliers of $800,013 and net losses of $706,636.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $88,836, which consisted primarily of net income of $486,896, depreciation of $41,812, net loss on acquisition of $53,646 and an increase in deposits and other receivables of $55,895 offset by realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $641,808, a decrease in accounts receivables of $35,766, income tax payable of $33,797 and an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $12,705.
As we shift away from our product sales businesses, we expect cash derived from this segment to decrease. We expect software-derived revenue to continue to fluctuate based upon the availability of immediate sales opportunities. We anticipate cash from our oilseeds operating activities to increase as we focus on our oilseeds operations. We expect rental income from our real estate operations to increase as we increase the occupancy rates of our commercial buildings, which will be offset by the increased expenses associated with developing our residential projects. We expect to continue to rely on cash generated through private placements of our securities, however, to finance our operations and future acquisitions.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $22,186,478, which was primarily attributable to payments in connection with the purchase of our commercial buildings in Malaysia of $28,427,544 and plant and equipment purchases of $51,090, and deposits of $12,946 made in connection with our anticipated land purchases in Malaysia, offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $6,305,102.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
· | Accounts receivable |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented.
33 |
· | Advances to suppliers |
The Company generally makes advanced payments to suppliers for material in the normal course of business. Advances to suppliers are recorded when payment is made by the Company and relieved against inventory when goods are received. The advance payments to suppliers may include provisions that set the purchase price and delivery date of raw materials. Advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.
· | Revenue recognition |
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Company’s sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.
(a) | Software sales |
The Company generally sells the software products in an arrangement that is bundled with maintenance and support service and/or website development service, based upon the customers’ specification or modification.
The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. For the billed software product sales, the revenue from the undelivered element is included in deferred revenue and amortized ratably to revenue over its contractual term, typically one year.
Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.
Revenues from the provision of website development service including website design and development are recognized upon the ownership and operating rights of website domain are transferred to the customers.
Revenues from the provision of maintenance and support service are recognized when service rendered, which consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. The Company generally offers maintenance and support service to its customers for a period of twelve months, free of charge or at a monthly fixed fee. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance from the customers of delivering maintenance and support service is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when the related service is rendered.
(b) | Luxury consumer products |
The Company earns the revenue from trading of luxury consumer products. Revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped and delivered to the customers, assuming no significant the Company’s obligations remain and the collection of relevant receivables is probable.
(c) | Plantation sales |
The Company offers two types of plantation products comprising of palm oil products and castor products.
Revenue from the sale of palm oil product is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of fresh fruit bunches and shipment to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue from castor products includes sale of seeding and rendering of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement. The Company adopts Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” and recognizes revenue as services are performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service offering has been delivered to the client; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.
34 |
A bundled sale arrangement involves multiple deliverables provided by the Company, where bundled service deliverables are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25. The Company determines each of service deliverable element and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. Sale of castor oilseeds is recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which is generally upon delivery of oilseeds. Rendering of technical know-how service is recognized when the principal terms of the service agreement are fulfilled and the certificate of satisfaction is confirmed by the customers.
(c) | Real estate |
The Company generally leases the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. As of July 31, 2013, we expect to record $75,729 in lease revenue over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS No. 13”).
Rental income related to leases is recognized in the period earned over the lease term in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No.13. Rent concessions are recognized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease.
· | Cost of revenues |
Cost of revenue on software sales primarily includes the purchase cost of software products and the labor cost incurred in the modifications, customization and enhancement of software products, the development of websites and maintenance and support services. All costs are expensed off when the title of software products and its related website domain are transferred to the customer. The cost incurred in website development is not capitalized because the ownership and operating right of its website domain is vested on the customer, not the Company itself.
The cost of software products is not capitalized because of the related party nature of the development and the quickly changing software market.
Cost of revenue on sales of luxury consumer products primarily consists of the purchase cost of luxury consumer products.
Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.
Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statements of Operations include costs associated with on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
· | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and available-for-sale marketable securities. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
35 |
· | Income taxes |
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “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.
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
· | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and record in a local currency, MYR Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
July 31, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Period-end MYR: US$1 exchange rate | 3.2352 | 3.1827 | ||||||
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate | 3.0961 | 3.1197 | ||||||
Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate | 6.1792 | 6.3257 | ||||||
Period-average RMB : US$1 exchange rate | 6.2499 | 6.3289 | ||||||
Period-end HK$ : US$1 exchange rate | 7.7561 | 7.7560 | ||||||
Period-average HK$ : US$1 exchange rate | 7.7570 | 7.7603 |

· | Related parties |
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
· | Segment reporting |
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended July 31, 2013, the Company operates in four reportable operating segments.
· | Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, income tax payable, amount due to related parties, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices for interest rates on similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and long-term bank loan approximates the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
£ | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
££ | Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
££ | Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

ITEM 3 | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Foreign Exchange Risk
While our reporting currency is the US dollar, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in MYR and RMB. All of our assets are denominated in MYR except for some cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate among US dollar, MYR and RMB. If the MYR/RMB depreciates against the US dollar, the value of our MYR/RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Commodity price
Our primary market risk exposure results from the price we receive for our palm oil product and oilseeds. We do not currently engage in any commodity hedging activities, although we may do so in the future. Realized commodity pricing for our operation is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for palm oil product and oilseeds. Pricing for palm oil product and oilseeds has been volatile and unpredictable in recent years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The prices we receive for operation depend on many factors outside of our control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable commodity index price.
Malaysian real estate market risk
Our real estate business may be affected by market conditions and economic challenges experienced by the economy as a whole in Malaysia, conditions in the credit markets or by local economic conditions in the markets in which its properties are located. Such conditions may impact our results of operations, financial condition or ability to expand its operations.
Market risk related to marketable securities
We are also exposed to the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments, caused by fluctuations in equity prices related to marketable securities. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows.
ITEM 4 | Controls and Procedures |
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of July 31, 2013, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Inherent Limitations
Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
38 |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK |
The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:
For the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the customer who accounted for 10% or more of the Companys revenues is presented as follows:
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the customer who accounted for 10% or more of the Companys revenues is presented as follows:
For the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the vendor who accounted for 10% or more of the Companys purchases is presented as follows:
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the vendor who accounted for 10% or more of the Companys purchases is presented as follows:
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Companys income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Companys interest-rate risk arises from bank loans and finance lease. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest-rate risk. Company policy is to maintain approximately all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments. At the period-end, the bank borrowings were at fixed and floating rates.
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR and RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$, MYR and RMB. If MYR and RMB depreciates against US$, the value of MYR and RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose it to substantial market risk.
Substantially all of the Companys services are conducted in Malaysia, the PRC and Asian region. The Companys operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Malaysia. Among other risks, the Companys operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations in Malaysia.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
As of July 31, 2013, the Company has $148,151 cash balance located in the PRC.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customers current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented.
The Company generally makes advanced payments to suppliers for material in the normal course of business. Advances to suppliers are recorded when payment is made by the Company and relieved against inventory when goods are received. The advance payments to suppliers may include provisions that set the purchase price and delivery date of raw materials. Advances to suppliers are interest free and unsecured.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, land under development, commercial building. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
Leases that transfer substantially all of the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Companys depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, Imputation of Interest.
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Companys sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.
The Company generally sells the software products in an arrangement that is bundled with maintenance and support service and/or website development service, based upon the customers specification or modification.
The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. For the billed software product sales, the revenue from the undelivered element is included in deferred revenue and amortized ratably to revenue over its contractual term, typically one year.
Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.
Revenues from the provision of website development service including website design and development are recognized upon the ownership and operating rights of website domain are transferred to the customers.
Revenues from the provision of maintenance and support service are recognized when service rendered, which consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. The Company generally offers maintenance and support service to its customers for a period of twelve months, free of charge or at a monthly fixed fee. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance from the customers of delivering maintenance and support service is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when the related service is rendered.
The Company earns the revenue from trading of luxury consumer products. Revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped and delivered to the customers, assuming no significant the Companys obligations remain and the collection of relevant receivables is probable.
The Company offers two types of plantation products comprising of palm oil products and castor products.
Revenue from the sale of palm oil product is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of fresh fruit bunches and shipment to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue from castor products includes sale of seeding and rendering of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement. The Company adopts Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements and recognizes revenue as services are performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service offering has been delivered to the client; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.
A bundled sale arrangement involves multiple deliverables provided by the Company, where bundled service deliverables are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25. The Company determines each of service deliverable element and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. Sale of castor oilseeds is recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which is generally upon delivery of oilseeds. Rendering of technical know-how service is recognized when the principal terms of the service agreement are fulfilled and the certificate of satisfaction is confirmed by the customers.
The Company generally leases the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. However, the Company expects to sign a ten year lease covering the majority of its 15 story building in the near future. As of July 31, 2013, we expect to record $75,729 in lease revenue per year over the life of the lease using the straight-line method in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS No. 13).
Rental income related to leases is recognized in the period earned over the lease term in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No.13. Rent concessions are recognized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease.
Cost of revenue on software sales primarily includes the purchase cost of software products and the labor cost incurred in the modifications, customization and enhancement of software products, the development of websites and maintenance and support services. All costs are expensed off when the title of software products and its related website domain are transferred to the customer. The cost incurred in website development is not capitalized because the ownership and operating right of its website domain is vested on the customer, not the Company itself.
The cost of software products is not capitalized because of the related party nature of the development and the quickly changing software market.
Cost of revenue on sales of luxury consumer products primarily consists of the purchase cost of luxury consumer products.
Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.
Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statements of Operations include costs associated with on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and available-for-sale marketable securities. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, 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.
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of July 31, 2013, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Companys operating subsidiaries maintain their books and record in a local currency, MYR Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong Dollars (HK$), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Companys internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended July 31, 2013, the Company operates in four reportable operating segments.
The carrying value of the Companys financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, income tax payable, amount due to related parties, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices for interest rates on similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and long term bank loan approximates the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations. |
