NOTE – 3        GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

From its inception, the Company has suffered from continuous losses with an accumulated deficit of $591,649 as of September 30, 2017 and experienced negative cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through September 30, 2018 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

 

These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

 

 

NOTE – 4        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.

 

·              Basis of presentation

 

These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

·              Use of estimates

 

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.

 

·              Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GOLU and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of PPGCT, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities. Although the Company legally owns 48% equity interest in PPGCT, there is an effective control of PPGCT by the common shareholders of the Company and PPGCT, and whose financial statements are required to be consolidated. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

 

·              Cash and cash equivalents

 

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.

 

·              Land under development

 

Land under development relating to freehold farmland, is 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.

GOLD UNION INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

 

 

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold farmland held for development. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “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.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of land includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Land under Development in the balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of September 30, 2017, there was no such capitalized interest and capitalized development cost.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and construction of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and the Company capitalized only those costs associated with the portion under construction. No cost was capitalized during the period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

·              Income taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is 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 September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

·              Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

There were no potentially outstanding dilutive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

·              Related parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

·              Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

·              Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

·              Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does 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.

 

 

NOTE – 5        LAND UNDER DEVELOPMENT

 

At September 30, 2017, the Company had three pieces of freehold farmland located at Phkang Village, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia with a total land size of 172,510 meter square. These lands are currently vacant and the Company is actively anticipating the town planning and development application. The Company expects to develop and construct an industrial complex for rental income purpose, which will be completed in the next two to three years, subject to the final approval from the local government.

 

No depreciation is provided for during the periods presented.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-looking statements

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and our future operating results could differ materially from those discussed herein.

However, as we issue “penny stock,” as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, we are ineligible to rely on these safe harbor provisions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Currency and exchange rate

 

Unless otherwise noted, all currency figures quoted as “U.S. dollars”, “dollars” or “$” refer to the legal currency of the United States. Throughout this report, assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. 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

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name “Advanced Ventures Corp.” and are a development stage company. Effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.”

 

On July 27, 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide patent sale agreement (the “Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement”) with Ilanit Appelfeld (the “Seller”), in relation to a patented technology, U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209 (the “Patent”), for a catheter with a integral anchoring mechanism. The patent and technology were transferred to us in exchange of payment to Ilanit Appelfeld of $17,500 (seventeen thousand five hundred United States Dollars), according to the terms and conditions specified in the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement related to U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209.

 

During the second quarter of 2011 the Company raised gross proceeds of $75,000 pursuant to an effective Form S-1 Registration Statement and issued 37,500,000 post forward stock split shares of common stock that were registered pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement.

 

During our second fiscal quarter of 2014, we elected to discontinue our business of exploiting the Patent and to consider other business opportunities that may bring quicker and greater value to our stockholders. We initially intended to engage in the business of trading precious metal bullion primarily in the Asia Pacific region. Therefore, effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.” to more adequately reflect our intended business operations.

 

On August 28, 2014, we executed a Share Exchange Agreement with G.U. International Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and our wholly owned subsidiary (“GUI”), and Kao Wei-Chen, an individual representing herself and 8 other individuals (collectively, the “Golden Corridor Shareholders”), which agreement was amended several times to extend the closing date of the acquisition (collectively, the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we, through GUI, purchased 480 shares of Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Limited (the “GC Shares”), from 9 private Golden Corridor Shareholders, representing 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Golden Corridor. As consideration, we issued to the Golden Corridor Shareholders 2,500,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.002 per share, for an aggregate value of US $5,000,000. We consummated the acquisition of the GC Shares on December 31, 2015.

 

Golden Corridor owns three parcels of land located at National Road 44, Phum Phkung, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Kampong Speu Province, Kingdom of Cambodia, measuring an aggregate of 172,510 square meters (collectively, the “Properties”). Pursuant to an independent valuation conducted by a third party appraisal firm licensed under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Cambodia and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia, the Properties have an estimated value of US $10,350,600 as of April 8, 2014. Golden Corridor intends to develop the Properties into an industrial park for rental income within the next two or three years. Golden Corridor has not yet commenced any significant operations but expects to begin efforts to prepare and submit the relevant planning and development application and information necessary to commence the development process.

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

As a result of our acquisition of the GC Shares, we elected to cease our metal bullion trading business and enter into the real estate development and rental business located in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We continue to own the rights, title and interests in Patent for a receptacle catheter with integral anchoring means, which Patent is associated with our former business. The Patent was issued on September 1, 2004 and will expire on September 6, 2022.

 

Employees

 

We currently do not have any full time or part time employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary, Lim Yew Chuan, is expected to carry out all administrative functions. Once Golden Corridor begins development activities, we expect Golden Corridor to hire additional officers and employees for such operations.

 

We do not have any union employees.  

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged Nevada Agency and Transfer Company as our stock transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Transfer Company is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501. Their telephone number is (775) 322-0626 and their fax number is (775) 322-5623. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Subsidiaries

 

On July 21, 2014, we formed G.U. Asia Limited, a limited company, under the laws of Hong Kong, for the purpose of conducting business in Asia.

 

On July 31, 2014, we formed G.U. International Limited, a limited company, under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. G.U. International Limited holds 48% of the issued and outstanding securities of Golden Corridor.

 

Financial Condition

 

During the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans to establish our new business.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, we incurred operating expenses of $17,179 and $13,000 respectively, consisting of professional fees and general and administrative expenses. The increase in our operating expenses resulted from an increase in professional fees.

 

We expect our operating expenses to increase as we build and develop our real estate development business.

 

Loss Before Income Taxes, Net Loss. We recorded a loss of $17,179 and $13,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in loss resulted from an increase in professional fees.

Operating Expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, we incurred operating expenses of $47,870 and $54,215, respectively, consisting of professional fees and general and administrative expenses. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from a decrease in general and administrative expenses offset by an increase in professional fees.

 

We expect our operating expenses to increase as we build and develop our real estate development business.

 

Loss Before Income Taxes, Net Loss. We recorded a loss of $47,870 and $54,215 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in loss before income taxes and net loss resulted from a decrease in in general and administrative expenses offset by an increase in professional fees..

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to develop our real estate business. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2017, our current assets were $83,158 and our current liabilities were $289,069 resulting in a working capital deficit of $205,911. Our current assets as of September 30, 2017, consisted of $78,274 of cash and cash equivalents and $4,884 of prepayments and deposits. As of December 31, 2016, our current assets were $92,889 and our current liabilities were $250,930 resulting in a working capital deficit of $158,041. Our current assets as of December 31, 2016, consisted of $88,247 of cash and cash equivalents and $4,642 of prepayments and deposits.

 

As of September 30, 2017, our total assets were $713,158, including land under development of $630,000. As of December 31, 2016, our total assets were $722,889, including land under development of $630,000.

 

Stockholders’ equity decreased from $104,507 as of December 31, 2016 to $61,719 as of September 30, 2017.

 

We have not 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.

 

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. 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. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares and shareholder loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities.

 

We have not generated any revenues since inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $26,965 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $47,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, consisted of a net loss of $47,870 offset by increases of $16,992 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, consisted of a net loss of $54,215 offset by increases of $6,234 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $21,147 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $23,221 for the same period ended September 30, 2016. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, consisted of advances from stockholders.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

Basis of presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GOLU and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of PPGCT, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities. Although the Company legally owns 48% equity interest in PPGCT, there is an effective control of PPGCT by the common shareholders of the Company and PPGCT, and whose financial statements are required to be consolidated. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Land under development

 

Land under development relating to freehold farmland, is 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.

 

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold farmland held for development. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “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.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of land includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Land under Development in the balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of September 30, 2017, there was no such capitalized interest and capitalized development cost.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and construction of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and the Company capitalized only those costs associated with the portion under construction. No cost was capitalized during the period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is 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.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

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 September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

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

 

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

 

ITEM 4                   Controls and Procedures  

 

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 September 30, 2017, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were not 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. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Manager concluded that (i) there continue to be material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a “deficiency” which could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the period covered by this report that would not be detected, and (ii) accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.

 

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.

 

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 September 30, 2017, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
