PART I

Item 1. Business

General Overview

The Company was established on December 1, 2016 in Nevada, USA. On September 14, 2018, the Company and Arcus Mining Holdings Limited (“Arcus”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), with Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Arcus, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the exploration, mining, processing and sale of fluorite in Mongolia.

Arcus currently owns three fluorite projects through its subsidiaries. Its official mining licenses in Mongolia are shown below:

Details of Three Fluorite Projects transferred to the Company by Arcus

Mining Project	Fluorite Reserves	Covered Area	License No.	Expiration Date	Current Status
Altan Ovoo (Mine A)	To be explored	39.35 hectares (97.24 acres)	MV-009918	December 29, 2034	In exploration stage. Trial production has been in place since 2019.
Oosmonskogo 1 (Mine B)	To be explored	98.37 hectares (243.08 acres)	MV-016819	April 28, 2041	In exploration stage since 2015. Trial production has been in place since 2018.
Oosmonskogo 2 (Mine C)	To be explored	300.96 hectares (743.69 acres)	MV-017305	April 23, 2043	Ready for exploration.

According to the staged exploration results, there are abundant resources as well as a large potential to expand the resource base of the mines, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the Company.

Arcus strives to create more value through efficiency in mining. The initial expected annual production capacity of fluorite (“CaF₂”) for 2020 and 2021 is described below:

Type	Metallurgical Grade		Acid Grade
CaF2 Content	50%	80% to 90%	97%
Estimated Capacity in 2020	30,000 tons	6,000 tons	22,000 tons
Estimated Capacity in 2021	35,000 tons	6,000 tons	12,000 tons
Final Product	Granule	Granule/Powder	Powder

Arcus intends to start producing 97% Acid Grade powder products and further increase the production of the metallurgical grade products in 2020.

Nevertheless, there are several areas where Arcus expects to outperform the market:

· Abundant fluorite resources for a long-term sustainable business; and

· Experience in mine construction, mining and marketing of fluorite.

In summary, the Company intends to make full use of Mongolia’s fluorite resource advantages and market under the guidance of our experienced management team.

Arcus Company Background

The founders and the management of Arcus have extensive experience in the mining industry in Africa, China, Russia and Mongolia. Their industrial experience includes exploration, mining and mineral investment. With extensive experience in the manufacture and sale of fluorite and related products, Arcus believes the Company will be able to produce the raw material needed for various high standard industrial products, including the manufacture of acid grade fluorite, metallurgical grade fluorite and more.

To meet ever-changing demands from customers, Arcus established a management team comprised of several experienced persons in the industry, as well as financial and marketing experts from international and local markets. The mines use advanced production equipment to produce high-quality products for the market.

In 2014, the Mongolian Parliament waived several restrictions on issuing new minerals exploration licenses and introduced a series of new regulations to encourage foreign investments in the Mongolian mining sector. Arcus is well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities in this promising business environment.

Arcus Company Structure

Arcus indirectly holds three fluorite projects in Mongolia through its wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong, namely Best Metro (Hong Kong) Limited, China Aim (Hong Kong) Limited, which in turn wholly own Mongolian based fluorite mining companies Khan Shashir LLC (“Khan Shashir”), Shek Hung Gold LLC (“Shek Hung”) respectively. Arcus Hong Kong Limited wholly own the PRC based Best Metro Import & Export Trading (Inner Mongolia) Limited as a trading arm.

The demand for metallurgical grade fluorite in China and other Asian countries currently exceeds supply, and current market conditions are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, creating excellent opportunities for the Company. Inherent uncertainties in the mining industry as well as the changing legal and political environment in Mongolia potentially bring additional business risks, as detailed under “Risk Factors” below.

Shek Hung currently owns a project called Altan Ovoo, while Khan Shashir owns the mines Oosmonskogo 1 and Oosmonskogo 2.

Mining Licenses

The three fluorite projects in Mongolia are Altan Ovoo (“Mine A”), Oosmonskogo 1 (“Mine B”) and Oosmonskogo 2 (“Mine C”).

The three projects have all been issued official mining licenses. The mining licenses allow the right to conduct mining activities throughout the license areas and to construct structures within the license areas that are related to its mining activities.

Mine A is located in Uulbayan soum, Sukhbaatar province, 530 kilometers (“km”) from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Mine A’s mining license, reference number MV-009918, is valid until December 29, 2034. Mine A covers an area of 39.35 hectares (97.24 acres).

Mine B is located in the Bayan-Ovoo soum, Khentii province, 440 km from Ulaanbaatar. Mine B’s license, reference number MV-016819, is valid until April 28, 2041. Mine B covers an area of 98.37 hectares (243.08 acres).

Mine C is adjacent to Mine B. Mine C’s license, reference number MV-017305, is valid until April 23, 2043. Mine C covers an area of 300.96 hectares (743.69 acres).

The location map of Mines A, B and C are shown below:

Resources and Reserves

After years of exploration, a significant potential for high grade fluorite resources for Mine A and Mine B has been positively demonstrated.

The historic exploration of Mine A and Mine B can be divided into three phrases:

· An investigation conducted by the former Soviet Union governmental agencies in the last century;

· An investigation conducted by an independent consultant from the United States in 2012; and

· An investigation conducted by SRK Consulting in 2014, a leading mining consulting services provider.

Arcus’ own geological team will continue to search for other resources through continued exploration in the areas surrounding existing deposits.

Mine A

Phase 1: Investigation conducted by former Soviet Union government agencies in 1980’s

The former Soviet Union politically governed Mongolia between 1925 and 1991. Its governmental agencies performed the first systematic exploration on Mine A between 1985 and 1987. Only one vein was located, east-trending with a strike length of 600 to 700 meters. The major work performed included drilling and digging six trenches three to four meters deep along the vein.

Phase 2: Investigation conducted by an independent surveyor in 2012

Since the date of the report by the Soviet Union governmental agencies, 27 new holes were drilled (2,916 m) underneath the trenches excavated in the 1980s to investigate the resource in Mine A. Most holes were drilled vertically or at an angle of 60° to the north, as the vein dips approximately 45° to the south.

Phase 3: Investigation conducted by SRK Consulting

Considering the advice from the independent explorer on the possibility of re-drilling some core holes to increase output of Mine A and Mine B, Arcus formally engaged SRK Consulting to perform a formal survey on both mines.

In late 2014, a specialist from SRK Consulting visited both Mine A and Mine B. SRK Consulting collected 43 extra drill core samples in Mine A during its visit. The finding by SRK Consulting is at a better grade with an average CaF₂ of 34%.

6

Mine B

Phase 1: Investigation conducted by former Soviet Union government agencies in 1930s to 1950s

Former Soviet Union governmental agencies performed the first systemic exploration on Mine B in 1937 and continued until approximately 1950. The main vein located was north-striking. It was traced by trenching and defined to be at least 400 meters in length in the 1940’s.

Major work performed in Phase 1 included:

1.	Over 160 trenches dug along the vein surface, which are now mostly deteriorated;
2.	Over 35 vertical drill holes; and
3.	A 35-meter underground tunnel along the main vein zone.

Phase 2: Investigation conducted by an independent surveyor in 2012

The Company has drilled 9 vertical core holes with an aggregate length of 877 meters in 2011 to update information on Mine B. Based on the samples obtained from the 9 vertical core holes drilled and assays of 4 drill hole cores in the Soviet Union period.

Phase 3: Investigation conducted by SRK Consulting

During the site visit to Mine B, the specialist consultant from SRK Consulting observed that most of the fluorite ores in Mine B have a grade of more than 90% CaF₂ and could be used for ornamental and lapidary purposes.

Based on the samples taken by SRK Consulting, the average grade of CaF₂ is 67%.

Mine C

No exploration or resource estimate has been done on Mine C, but initial surface investigations suggest that the resource of Mine B may extend onto the license of Mine C.

Future development

The Company is planning to continue with a second round of exploration in Mine A and Mine B and start a first round of exploration in Mine C. The primary objective would be to gain a better understanding of the geological structure to assist in mine planning and to upgrade the identified inferred resource to the indicated resource category.

According to SRK Consulting, the drill holes in Mine A do not provide consistent coverage of all areas. Therefore, another round of exploration would allow a more detailed understanding of the resource allocation and help upgrade much of the inferred resource into the indicated resource category. Full feasibility studies for Mine A and Mine B will be prepared once it’s the right time. These feasibility studies will be conducted by external specialist consultants together with Arcus’ experienced team.

Mine C is adjacent to Mine B, and given the large cover area of Mine C, we are optimistic regarding the resources of Mine C. Based on preliminary estimates by the geologists, it is possible that the resource of Mine C could be greater than that of Mine B. Conducting a thorough exploration of the resource will allow better planning on mining Mine C and ensure sustainability of the Company’s growth.

Operations

Both Mine A and Mine B were in the exploration stage in 2019. Revenue generated during the year were $101,222 by Mine A and $181,635 by Mine B. We expected to further extend the operation of Mine A and Mine B in the second quarter of 2020.

There are two types of products available from Mine B, metallurgical and acid grade fluorite. Metallurgical grade fluorite is sold mainly to steel manufacturers for use as flux in steel production. Acid grade fluorite which is used to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, a feedstock for many different chemical processes. At the moment, there is only metallurgical grade fluorite available from Mine A.

The Company ran trial productions at Mine A and Mine B in 2019. Below is the summary of revenue for 2019 from the trial productions.

Type of Finished Products	Grade Mined	Quantities (In tons)		Mining Recovery			Average Price (USD)
Metallurgical Fluorite	Concentration 50%		4,418		95	%		22.91
Metallurgical Fluorite	Concentration 65%		2,221		95	%		81.78

Workflow of Operations

The operation at Mine A and Mine B of the Company involves several steps as shown below:

Mine Preparation

Preparing a mine involves investigation, exploration, evaluation and the construction of necessary infrastructures and utilities facilities, among other tasks.

Both Mine A and Mine B are now equipped with the necessary facilities, but the infrastructure in Mine B is more comprehensive. The basic facilities information of Mine A and Mine B is shown below:

	Mine A	Mine B
Water Resources	Drilled water wells	Drilled water wells
Electricity Resources	Local wind turbine generators	Bayan-Ovoo soum electrical power grid
Mining Method	Open pit mining	Underground mining
Shafts	Not applicable	4 in production

Water Resources

It is probable that there is sufficient water from drilled wells for mining and processing operations in Mine A and Mine B. Several such wells have been completed at both Mine A and Mine B. All the water will be recycled, but in the dry climate, evaporation is high.

Electricity Resources

Mine B is currently connected to the Bayan-Ovoo soum electrical power grid. Power generation in Mine A is currently supported by a set of wind turbines. Both Mine A and Mine B have sufficient power to meet daily usage, and each has two sets of contingent diesel generators.

Infrastructures

At Mine B, the construction of offices, living quarters and explosive stores has been completed. Of the four shafts built in Mine B, one shaft and the other shaft has been excavated with a 150 meter long and 180 meter long development drive in the fluorite ore respectively. There was no vertical development in 2019. Construction on excavating an underground tunnel to connect the four shafts is completed in 2019.

Mining activities are halted for the winter break, which takes place between January and March every year. Since mining activities are conducted underground, which is more dependent on the weather condition, the winter break for the mining activities is one month longer than the winter break for the production line. We have adopted open-pit mining at Mine A which is different from Mine B. Although mining activities are subject to weather, open-pit mining is more flexible so we decided to suspend the mining activities at Mine A in mid-February instead of late November 2019 as we did with Mine B. Production of both Mine A and Mine B is to be continued after the winter break and is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2020.

Mine A is planned as an open pit mine because the mineralization outcrops on the surface are relatively easy to begin mining. Four temporary offices and storage containers have been set up at Mine A. Since the resource in Mine A is large, management plans to develop Mine A in stages. Mining of the open pit has been commenced in 2019, while the deeper ores will be subjected to further exploration.

Mine A is originally planned to produce fluorite powder. However, in order to cope with our business development, the management decided to put the construction of refinery at Mine A on hold for now. Once it is the suitable time for further expanding our business, the management may resume the plan of the construction of refinery at Mine A.

8

Mining

A strategic open pit exploration at Mine A has been started in 2019. The refinery operations described below apply only to Mine B but can serve as a general reference regarding the future production of Mine A. Starting from year 2019, we have outsourced the mining activities to subcontractors.

Refining

The Company will not outsource its core fluorite processing to third parties but rather work together with the strategic partners. Major fluorite processing of metallurgical grade fluorite includes gravity separation, which refines the fluorite granules, followed by sorting the granules by sizes in accordance with a customer’s needs.

The major machines employed in Mine B are the shakers and the jiggers. A jigger is a vertical container where a pulsing action divides ores into different layers according to their densities. When sorted by a shaker, ore is placed on a horizontal water surface, and the shaker applies longitudinal forces. As ores of different densities respond to longitudinal forces, they are sorted accordingly. Both shakers and jiggers are common tools in conducting gravity selection, but jiggers mainly divide coarse ores into different size groups (30 mm - 80 mm) and shakers mainly refine smaller ores (3 mm – 10 mm or 1 mm – 3 mm).

Sales and Marketing

From 2015 throughout 2019, the mines have still been in exploration stage so the Company decided to sell metallurgical grade fluorite within the territory of Mongolia to avoid incurring cross-border freight and transportation. The Company would like to further expand its production in the second quarter of 2020. Some of the ultimate target customers include foreign steel manufacturers.

Customers

The Company intends to develop a pool of customers to reduce its distribution risk. The Company’s targeted customer base is set forth below:

· Korean steel manufacturers;

· Chinese steel manufacturers;

· Other foreign steel manufacturers (e.g., Japanese, Indian, American, etc.);

· Online sales platforms;

· Fluorochemical companies, mainly in China due to large demand;

· Chinese and other foreign aluminum manufacturers.

The Market for Fluorite in Mongolia

Fluorite and its Applications

Fluorite, commercially termed as fluorspar, is a transparent halide mineral of various colors, composed primarily of calcium fluoride (CaF₂). Fluorite is the dominant source for the chemical element fluorine. Due to its unique chemical properties, fluorine is largely irreplaceable in its use. The major applications of fluorite and the corresponding requirement of content percentage are summarized below:

Most of the world demand for fluorite is for acid-grade fluorite, which is used to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, a feedstock for many different chemical processes. The second greatest demand is for metallurgical grade fluorite, used as flux in steel and aluminum production. A small portion is produced as ceramic grade fluorite for the manufacture of ceramics and enamels due to the high content percentage requirement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to our Business

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and results of operations.

The Company is in the process of developing its mines and bringing its fluorite products to the market. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history. You should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in evolving geographical areas such as Mongolia. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to:

· offer products of sufficient quality to attract and retain a larger customer base;

· attract additional customers and increase spending per customer;

· increase awareness of our products and continue to develop customer loyalty;

· respond to competitive market conditions;

· respond to changes in our regulatory environment;

· maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;

· raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business; and

· attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

10

Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.

Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our quarterly, year-to-date and annual expenses as a percentage of our revenues may differ significantly from our historical or projected rates. Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Any of these events could cause our stock price to fall. Each of the risk factors listed in this section and the following factors may affect our operating results:

· Our ability to continue to attract customers;

· Our ability to generate revenue from the products we offer;

· The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our businesses; and

· Our focus on long-term goals over short-term results.

Because our business is changing and evolving, our historical operating results may not be useful to you in predicting our future operating results.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by present or future governmental regulations or political changes.

Mongolia, the country where the Company’s mines are situated, is currently undergoing rapid development. Our operations may be affected by changes to Mongolian regulation of the mining sector or changing levels of political involvement in mining.

The Mongolian Parliament passed an amendment to the Minerals Law on July 1, 2014 to ease certain restrictions on the mining industry and also to give some incentives to foreign mining companies and investors. These changes have clarified many areas of the law and settled issues around government interests in mines of national or strategic importance. These changes have brought potential benefits to the Company. Visits paid by Chinese president Xi Jinping to Mongolia have indicated Chinese support for strengthening cooperation between Mongolian and Chinese entities in the future. Corresponding lobbying by the Chinese government may help ensure that the Mongolian government respects the rights of foreign mining companies investing in Mongolia.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19

Due to the current outbreak of novel coronavirus that was first reported from Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019 and since then, the government of Mongolia officially announced on January 31, 2020 that it will close all ports of entry from and into China with immediate effect until March 2, 2020. However, The Embassy of the PRC in Mongolia further announced on February 19, 2020 that all ports of entry from and into China will be closed until March 30, 2020. We expect that such temporary closures might result in a delay in the resumption of our exploratory work and production in the newly set up refinery at Mine A and Mine B respectively. However, we have started the preparation work for arranging working visas for the Chinese workers in advance and will hire more Mongolian workers in case all ports of entry from and into China are not open before we resume our work at both Mine A and Mine B so as to minimize the effect of the delay.

Taking the recent worldwide outbreak and development of the COVID-19 into account, the management worried the development of 2020 but we have been strictly prudent towards the epidemic. We will keep tracking the measures of different governments, especially the Chinese and Mongolian Government, are going to implement so to determine what the Company will do in order to minimize the negative effect of the COVID-19 on our business. The management will strengthen all necessary measures and make special arrangement so to protect our workers from the COVID-19 after the winter break as well as sticking to our expected performance in 2020.

Deviations between inferred resources and actual mineable resources may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results.

Actual mine output usually deviates to a certain extent when compared to the inferred resource, as every estimation model is based on certain assumptions made in the calculation. In order to enhance estimation accuracy and maximize output quantity and quality, the Company engaged SRK Consulting, a leading mining consultant company, to conduct a detailed resource and reserve assessment. However, there can be no assurance as to the accuracy of SRK Consulting’s estimate.

Adverse weather conditions may limit the periods during which the Company may conduct its operations or may cause a disruption in its utilities or the delivery of its products to its customers.

Due to the severe weather in Mongolia during the winter, we have scheduled a regular winter break between January and March for mining activities and processing every year. However, it is possible that severe weather conditions may occur outside their normal range in some years, which would hinder the Company’s mining and production operations and require the extension of the scheduled winter break. Severe weather may also cause a disruption in the Company’s essential utilities. Although the production lines will be roofed to minimize the impact of severe weather and the Company will maintain a backstock of ore to reduce the chances of production suspension from interruptions in mining, there can be no assurance that these measures will be adequate to compensate for the effects of especially severe weather. As a further precaution, we will also maintain a sufficient inventory level in our Baganuur warehouse to secure a continuous supply to customers during the winter, but there can be no assurance that our rail and trucking transportation methods will not be disrupted by weather events.

We may suffer losses resulting from industry-related accidents.

Despite the safety precautions taken by the Company in its mining operations, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer losses resulting from industry-related accidents. To minimize the occurrence of industrial incidents, we regularly monitor mine site construction in order to identify and implement practical protective measures.

11

We may not be successful in implementing important strategic initiatives, which may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.

There is no assurance that we will be able to implement important strategic initiatives in accordance with our expectations, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business and financial results. These strategic initiatives are designed to drive long-term stockholder value and improve our results of operations.

We face significant competition, and if we do not compete successfully against new and existing competitors, we may lose our market share, and our profitability may be adversely affected.

Increased competition could reduce our profitability and result in a loss of market share. Some of our existing and potential competitors may have competitive advantages, such as significantly greater financial, marketing or other resources, and may successfully mimic and adopt our business models. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against new or existing competitors.

Failure to manage our growth could strain our management, operational and other resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business and prospects.

We intend to expand our operations and plan to expand as rapidly as possible. The continued growth of our business will result in, substantial demand on our management, operational and other resources. In particular, the management of our growth will require, among other things:

· increased sales and sales support activities;

· improved administrative and operational systems;

· enhancements to our information technology system;

· stringent cost controls and sufficient working capital;

· strengthening of financial and management controls; and

· hiring and training of new personnel.

As we continue this effort, we may incur substantial costs and expend substantial resources. We may not be able to manage our current or future operations effectively and efficiently or compete effectively in new markets we enter. If we are not able to manage our growth successfully, our business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Attracting skilled personnel are essential to growing our business.

We face competition for attracting skilled personnel. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel to meet current and future needs, this could slow our ability to grow our business, which could result in a decrease in market share.

We may need additional capital and we may not be able to obtain it at acceptable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.

We may need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.

Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

· investors’ perception of, and demand for, our securities;

· conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;

· our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;

· Mongolian governmental regulation; and

· economic, political and other conditions in Mongolia.

We do not have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors, which could present the potential for conflicts of interest.

We do not have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between us and our stockholders, generally, and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors. However, we are going to invite different professionals as our independent directors gradually. An independent director was added in April 2019.

We have limited insurance coverage.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited insurance products. We have determined that the risks of disruption or liability from our business, the loss or damage to our property, including our facilities, equipment and office furniture, the cost of insuring for these risks, and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption, litigation or property insurance coverage for our operations in China except for insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Similarly, although it has been 80 years since the introduction of insurance in Mongolia, the penetration of insurance is still low and its development is still immature which the insurance industry is still yet to be up to international standard. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption, litigation or property insurance coverage for our operations in Mongolia except for insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As a public company, we have significant additional requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of SOX 404, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.

We cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

Lack of experienced officers of publicly-traded companies may hinder our ability to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff or consultants in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

We incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate that there is a high probability of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Risks Relating to Our Securities

There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their securities.

There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock, which is listed on the Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Pink Sheets, and there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Pink Sheet quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and, therefore, it may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares.

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses, which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

OTC Pink Sheet securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because OTC Pink Sheet reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.

Patterns of fraud and abuse include:

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

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

· “Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

· Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

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

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock. We plan to retain any future earnings to finance growth.

In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common stock in our capital stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” mean TGS International Ltd., a Nevada corporation, and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

General Overview

TGS International Ltd. was established on December 1, 2016 in Nevada, USA. On September 14, 2018, TGS International Ltd. and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018, with Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of TGS International Ltd.

We are a mining company focused on both fluorite mining operations in Mongolia (3 mines in total, Mining license numbers: MV-016819, MV-017305 and MV-009918) and sales of fluorite across Mongolia and China. During 2015 to 2017, we were setting up infrastructure at Mine B and appointed SRK Consulting China Limited for resource exploration for Mine A and Mine B. The only production at Mine B started in 2018 and has been ongoing since that time.

In 2019, there were a few unpredictable events, including delay in exploratory work at Mine B due to the tightened working visa application procedure by the Mongolian Government, delay in explosives delivery due to the temporary suspension of the only two explosive factories in Mongolia, which have brought about significant postponement of our exploratory work. Therefore, the production forecast for 2019 was not reached. Nonetheless, the management has devoted all their effort to minimize any impact on the Company. For instance, workers were instructed to work on the foundation of the refinery and other on-site infrastructures until the explosives arrived at our mine.

We have suspended the work at Mine B since November 25, 2019 due to the annual winter break and expect to resume our work in early April 2020, depending on the weather and overall situation. All workers working at Mine B were sent home the same day. Right before the winter break, there were 2,221 tons of output from Mine B in the last quarter of 2019.

Although open pit mining is adopted at Mine A, as the weather has become more frigid, we have put the exploratory work at Mine A on hold since mid-February 2020 to make sure the workers are safe and sound. The output in the last quarter of 2019 is 4,418 tons. We would like to take advantage of adopting open pit mining at Mine A so as to resume the exploratory work earlier once the winter break comes to an end and boost the production, presumably in early April 2020.

The construction of the refinery at Mine B was completed in late November 2019. However, the power supply upgrade at Mine B is still in progress and we hope to get it done in early April 2020 to put the refinery into use as early as possible. This is a strategic cooperation with Yantai Fulin Mining Machinery Co., Ltd (“Fulin”) which provided construction funds in advance to the construction and installation of the refinery. We expect that the production and the sales would have a certain increase in 2020 as well as the profits. During 2019, we have upgraded the infrastructures at Mine B as well as building the refinery at Mine B. The cost, therefore, was unavoidably much larger than the last year’s. With the experienced engineers and construction teams provided by Fulin, our strategic partner, we could get the construction of the refinery completed in merely six months. The refinery is basically ready. Once we get the power supply upgrade done in April 2020, the entire refinery could be put into trial in late April or early May 2020.

As what we have known that the operation of the refinery and the production line is straightforward and simple with approximately 3 steps – breaking apart and grinding, flotation separation, and drying out the acid grade fluorite, the end product. We expect to increase manpower to accelerate the exploration at Mine B by the end of the second quarter of 2020 to escalate production. The fluorite with higher grading could be sold to the market directly while the fluorite with lower grading could be used as the raw materials for producing acid grade fluorite. The management are confident in the overall development and sales of the Company.

Mine C is still intact and we have not had any development there because we would like to prioritize and focus the use of our resources for the development of Mine A and Mine B. Once we have sufficient resources, we would start exploring and developing Mine C, for example, getting SRK Consulting China Limited for resource exploration as the first step, to maximize the value of the Company.

Apart from the exploration and infrastructure work at Mine A and Mine B, the Company might consider further fund raising activities through the capital markets and from stockholders with the aim of speeding up the development of the Company.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

Revenue

Revenue consisted mainly of fluorspar products generated from production at our mines. In 2019, we had total revenue of $282,857, as compared to revenue of $274,238 during 2018. The percentage of such increase was approximately 3% as a result of the increase in average price of metallurgical fluorite.

Commission income

Commission income was recognized when the Company purchased minerals from suppliers and received payments from the customers on selling minerals. The Company has been determined as an agent for the ultimate customers in these transactions and the revenue is recorded net of the related fulfillment costs as commission income. The Company had commission income of $393,566 in 2018 and nil commission income in 2019.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold included raw material costs. The total cost of goods sold decreased from $10,544 in 2018 to nil in 2019. The significant decrease was mainly due to no raw material costs in 2019.

Exploration cost

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred and included labor and benefits, construction service fee, mining overhead, including food, supplies, utilities and lubricants related to mine exploration. Exploration costs increased significantly from $421,508 in 2018 to $737,248 in 2019. The percentage of such increment was approximately 75% and was mainly due to our focus on the mining infrastructure project resulted in the increase of construction service fee, mining supplies and utilities during the year.

Selling and distribution cost

Selling and distribution costs included transportation and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from mines to customer designated locations, security fee, royalty and custom tax. Selling and distribution costs increased significantly from $56,697 in 2018 to $105,279 in 2019. The percentage of such increment was approximately 86% and was mainly due to the increase in royalty and custom tax.

17

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses included salaries and benefits, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, rent and utilities, and other general operating expenses.

Administrative expenses increased significantly from $1,342,830 in 2018 to $1,645,900 in 2019. The percentage of such increment was approximately 23% and is mainly due to the commission expenses related to subscription package, increase in staff salaries and increase of rental expense by additional staff accommodation in 2019.

Other income

Other income increased significantly from $34,083 in 2018 to $195,576 in 2019. The percentage of such increment was approximately 474% as a result of a waiver of consultancy fee in 2019 and a write back of receipt in advance due to the dissolution of our customer.

Interest expenses

Interest expenses mainly included other loan interest, related party loan interest and bond interest arising from convertible bonds.

Interest expenses decreased from $83,548 in 2018 to $76,824 in 2019. The percentage of such reduction was approximately 8% as a result of the repayment of related party loans of HK$3 million (equivalent to US$382,945), in which HK$2 million (equivalent to US$255,297) was settled by issuance of shares and HK$1 million (equivalent to US$127,648) was settled by cash.

Net loss

As a result of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $2,115,716 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a net loss of $1,241,452 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net loss resulted mainly from the decrease in the commission income and increase in cost on mining infrastructure project. This was within our management expectation since our mine is still under trial production and we expect to further increase the productions in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s cash was $106,850 and $98,121, respectively. There were no cash equivalents.

Factors affecting our liquidity include (i) net cash used in operating activities that consists of (a) cash required to fund the mining sites operating activities and continued expansion of our mining sites and (b) our working capital needs, which include advanced payments for several mining supplies and repair and maintenance, payment of our operating expenses; and (ii) net cash used in investing activities that consists of the investments in purchasing new and additional property, plant and equipment for mining sites. To date, we have financed our liquidity needs primarily through advances from stockholders, proceeds from related parties and unrelated party loans, proceeds from issuance of common stock and the proceeds from issuance of convertible bonds.

We expect to continue to make capital expenditures to keep pace with the expansion of the production and scale of operations of our mining sites, which we expect to fund in part with the proceeds from issuance of convertible bonds and other loans in the future. We expect that the proceeds from the above and our existing cash and cash equivalents will be used to fund working capital and for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, such as partnering arrangements, or reduction of debt obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able obtain financing, if at all or upon terms that will be acceptable to us.

Cash Flows

As of December 31, 2019, we had $106,850 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $98,121 on December 31, 2018.

Net cash used in operating activities

Our net cash used in operating activities increased to $1,228,886 in 2019 from $888,079 in 2018. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily reflected our net loss of $2,115,716 and the add-back of non-cash items, mainly consisting of depreciation of property, plant and equipment of $51,898, stock compensation expenses of $122,100, amortization of non-cash interest expenses and bond discount related to convertible bonds of $13,732, exchange difference of $246,346, and deduct of non-cash items, mainly consisting of write back of receipt in advance of $160,542 and waiver of consultancy fee of $34,556, and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of an increase in accounts receivable of $60,314, an increase of other receivables of $394,560, an increase of deposits and prepayments of $56,795, decrease in accrued charges of $40,022 and offset by an increase of trade and other payables of $1,196,364 and increase in provision for asset retirement obligations of $3,179.

Net cash used in investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities increased to $976,818 in 2019 from $38,379 in 2018. This was mainly due to acquisition of property, plant and equipment at mine sites.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities increased to $2,216,864 in 2019 from $989,312 in 2018. This was mainly the result of advances from stockholders and directors, proceed from unrelated party loan, issuance of common stock and convertible bonds in 2019.

18

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on related party and unrelated party loans, convertible bonds or equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. We believe this will enable us to meet our cash needs for the next 12 months. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Importantly, there is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing (whether from related parties or otherwise) to fund our planned business activities.

Except for the convertible bonds and loans from others, we presently do not have any other arrangements or commitments for additional financing for the expansion of our operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. The critical accounting policies we employ in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are those which involve impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and income taxes.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $2,115,716 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,555,450. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the net current liabilities as of December 31, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Since the Company is currently in the exploration stage, it is still in the capital investing period. The Company’s business forecast indicates that the Company will have positive cash inflow after the commencement of formal production in 2021. Management believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financing requirements for the next 12 months based on the financial support of certain stockholders, issuance of new convertible bonds, proceeds from unrelated party loans and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of TGS International Ltd.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TGS International Ltd. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered an operating loss of $2,115,716 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,555,450, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TGS International Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

TGS International Ltd. (“TGS”, “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada, United States on December 1, 2016. On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Arcus Mining Holdings Limited (“Arcus”) and Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Arcus, which was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on June 17, 2014, and its subsidiaries are engaged in fluorite mining operations in Mongolia, including the processing and sales of fluorite products. Up to December 31, 2019 and the date of this report, the Company owns three mining rights in Mongolia (Mining license numbers: MV-016819, MV-017305 and MV-009918). During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not commence regular mining operations except for a trial production which was conducted in Mine A and Mine B, which are located in Uulbayan soum, Sukhbaatar province (Mining license number: MV-009918) and Bayan-Ovoo soum, Khentii province (Mining license number: MV-016819), respectively.

Reverse merger

On September 14, 2018, the Company and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018 with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The merger closed on September 14, 2018 and resulted in the following:

Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 6,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock were cancelled and retired. A further 30,000 shares were cancelled after the Share Exchange.

As a result of the transactions described above, the Company became the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the share capital of Arcus and therefore owns 100% of the share capital of its subsidiaries.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the cancellation of 6,530,000 shares and the issuance of 7,000,000 shares, the Company had 14,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on September 14, 2018.

The transaction is accounted for as a “reverse acquisition”, with Arcus being treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The historical consolidated financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer and its subsidiaries for all periods presented.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $2,115,716 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,555,450. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the net current liabilities as of December 31, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Since the Company is currently in the exploration stage, it is still in the capital investing period. Management has prepared a business cash flow forecast and it indicates that the Company will have positive cash inflow after the commencement of formal production in 2021. Management believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financing requirements for the next 12 months based on the financial support of certain stockholders, issuance of new convertible bonds, proceeds from unrelated party loans and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, TGS, and all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of TGS. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment, actual results may be different from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, deferred tax valuation allowances, income-tax uncertainties, assumptions used to determine the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, depreciation and amortization periods, recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets, valuation of warrant equity, and valuation and impairment losses on mining rights and valuation of asset retirement obligations and exploration asset compensation.

TGS International Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Concentration and credit risks

Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents to date. The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.

The Company operates principally in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and Mongolia and grants credit to its customers in these geographic regions. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash and deposits with maturities of less than one year in banks of $96,495 and $116,744, respectively.

The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2019
	Amount		%
Customer A	$	40,907		15
Customer B		60,314		21
Customer C		181,636		64
	$	282,857		100

	Year ended December 31, 2018
	Amount		%
Customer D	$	261,159		39
Customer E		393,566		59
	$	654,725		98

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in administrative expenses.

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of customers’ or other debtors’ inability to meet their financial obligations, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables will be further adjusted. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no allowance of accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s cash amounted to $106,850 and $98,121, respectively, and there were no cash equivalents.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of acquired mining rights and are initially measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortized on the units-of-production method utilizing only proven and probable fluorite reserves in the depletion base.

26

TGS International Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Property, plant and equipment

(i)	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years, representing the shorter of the remaining term of the mining right or the expected useful life to the Company.
(ii)	Other categories of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

· Leasehold improvements: 5 years or the shorter of the remaining term of the lease

· Furniture and equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Motor vehicles: 3 to 10 years

· Factory equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Mineral properties: Unit-of-production

(iii) Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expenses as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations, or improve operating efficiency are capitalized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital, based upon the projected remaining future fluorspar production from each mining site. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of fluorspar that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences at enacted rates and classified as a non-current asset or liability. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in years, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties from tax assessments, if any, are included in income taxes in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

A tax position must be more likely than not of being sustained in order to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions or accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect to have a material change to its income tax provisions in the next year.

Restoration and remediation costs (Asset retirement obligations)

In Mongolia, the mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after completion of the mining activities.

Future reclamation and remediation costs, which include extraction equipment removal and environmental remediation, are accrued at the end of each period based on management’s best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred for each project. Such estimates consider the costs of future surface and groundwater activities, current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.

In accordance with FASB ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, the Company capitalizes the measured fair value of asset retirement obligations to mineral properties. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until the time at which they are expected to be settled. The accretion expense is charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.

On a regular basis, the Company reviews the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligations, as well as changes in any regulatory or legal obligations for each of its mineral projects. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions may cause revision of asset retirement obligations for the corresponding assets.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in a material adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company has two kinds of revenue, sales of fluorite and commission income.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of a customer order or contract. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product. In determining when and how much revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The sales of the Company’s products to its customers represent a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at a point in time. Based on the foregoing, no significant judgment is required to determine when control of a product has been transferred to a customer.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Company must determine whether the obligation is to provide the specified good or service itself (i.e., the Company is the principal in the transaction) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (i.e., the Company is an agent in the transaction). When the Company is responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, based on the ability to control the product or service provided, the Company is considered as a principal and revenue is recognized for the gross amount of consideration. When the other party is primarily responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, the Company is considered as an agent and revenue is recognized in the amount of any fee or commission to which the Company is entitled. The Company purchase minerals from suppliers and receive payments from the customers on selling certain goods. The Company has been determined as an agent for the ultimate customers in these transactions and the revenue is recorded net of the related fulfillment costs as commission income.

The Company measures revenue based on the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products. The standard terms and conditions of customer orders and contracts does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), price protection, rebates or discounts. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

See note 13 regarding the Company’s revenue disaggregated by reporting segment.

Provision for exploration asset compensation

The Government of Mongolia issued a policy that requires all mining companies to pay compensation to the Government if the exploration work on their mining license area was funded by the Government. The compensation amount for the exploration work done has been estimated by the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia.

The provision for exploration expenditure is calculated as the discounted net present value of estimated future net cash outflows of the reclamation and closure costs.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold included raw material costs.

Exploration costs

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Costs to identify new mineral resources and to evaluate potential resources are considered exploration costs.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs included transportation and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from mines to customer designated locations, security fee, royalty and custom tax.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, rent and utilities, and other general operating expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is different from TGS subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The functional currency of the subsidiaries in Mongolia, Khan Shashir LLC and Shek Hung Gold LLC, is the Mongolian Tugrik (“MNT”). The functional currency of the subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Best Metro Import & Export Trading (Inner Mongolia) Limited is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), while the functional currency of all other subsidiaries is the Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”).

The functional currency of TGS is the USD. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries where HKD, MNT and RMB are the functional currencies and which have transactions denominated in non-HKD/MNT/RMB currencies are translated into HKD/MNT/RMB at the exchange rates existing on that date. The translation of local currencies into HKD/MNT/RMB creates transaction adjustments which are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The financial statements of TGS’s foreign subsidiaries, where non-USD currencies are the functional currencies, are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for the statement of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial statements are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as all changes in equity/(deficit), exclusive of transactions with stockholders, such as capital investments. Comprehensive loss includes net loss and changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all common stock equivalents if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had warrants and convertible bonds outstanding which could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses.

Fair value measurement

The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:-

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial instruments are measured as follows:-

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, accrued charges, other payables, loans from related persons, convertible bonds, other loan, amount due to directors and amounts due to stockholders, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Conversion Option – Convertible bonds

The Company accounts for convertible bond in accordance with the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company separates the convertible bond into liability and equity components. The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible bond, which is the equity component and recorded as additional paid-in capital, is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain bonds payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible bond when issued.

To determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible instrument, and then uses those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible instrument on the proceeds allocated to that instrument.

The accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid in capital, resulting in a discount to the convertible instrument. This discount should be accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date.

The discount is amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method.

Warrants

ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815-40, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required from period to period.

Lease

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Leases are recorded in "Right-of-use ("ROU") assets" and "lease liabilities" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date for determining the present value of lease payments. Lease term includes the effects of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, the Company adopted, “Leases” (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective method provides a method of recognizing those leases which had not expired as of the date of adoption of January 1, 2019. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 840.

The Company elected the practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance under Topic 842, which amongst other matters, allowed the Company (i) not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less), (ii) not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (iii) not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iv) not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The adoption resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $369,874 and lease liabilities of $369,874 for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on opening balance of accumulated deficit. Refer to note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details.

The Company reviews ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will originally become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. As a smaller reporting company, the effective date for the Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

Recent changes in accounting standards (continued)

Pending Adoption as at year end (continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted upon issuance of this ASU. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This Update states a private company (reporting entity) may elect not to apply VIE guidance to legal entities under common control (including common control leasing arrangements) if both the parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities. This Update also states indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. For the Company, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 12 – CAPITAL STOCK

On September 14, 2018, the Company and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018 with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The merger closed on September 14, 2018 and resulted in the following:

Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 6,500,000 shares of the outstanding common stock were cancelled and retired. A further 30,000 shares were cancelled after the Share Exchange.

On November 21, 2018, the Company completed the first subscription package (the “First Subscription Package”) of 150,000 common shares at a price of $0.35 per share with a warrants option to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 common shares. The warrants will be exercisable within three years from the date of the Company receiving fund from investors at an exercise price of $1.00 per common share. The Company also issued to the placement agent 15,000 common shares at a price of $2.49 per common share for the services rendered (equivalent to $37,350).

NOTE 15 — NET LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per common share is presented under two formats: basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potentially dilutive impact of common stock equivalents (e.g. stock options, warrants and convertible bonds). Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

NOTE 16 — WARRANT EQUITY

On November 21, 2018 (“Issuance Date”), the Company issued First Subscription Package of up to $52,500, consisting of 150,000 common shares and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 (the “Warrants”) to purchase common stock within three years from the Issuance Date, to accredited subscribers.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued Second Subscription Package of up to $825,000, consisting of 330,000 common shares and 66,000 warrants exercisable at $3.00 to purchase common stock within three years from the respective issuance dates, to accredited subscribers.

The two investors in the First Subscription Package, which was completed on November 21, 2018, forfeited their rights to exercise the 25,000 warrant at $1.00 of their own accord.

The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the subscriptions. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity under ASC 480. The warrants, in specified situations, provide for certain compensation remedies to a holder if the Company fails to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants in accordance with the warrant terms.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company reviewed the valuation technique and inputs used to determine the fair value of the outstanding warrants. The Company engaged an outside valuation company to calculate the fair value of warrants based on the Binominal Option Pricing Model (“Binomial”).

Set out below are the major parameters adopted in the valuation:

Grant date	January 2019			February 2019			March 2019			April 2019
Stock price of the issuer at respective grant dates	$	3.50		$	3.50		$	3.50		$	3.50
Risk-free rate		14.01	%		14.01	%		13.99	%		14.27	%
Volatility		56.74	%		56.74	%		55.80	%		54.63	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%		0.00	%

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

Grant date	Warrants Outstanding			Fair Value per Share			Fair Value $
2018		50,000		$	0.07		$	3,490
2019		66,000			2.11			139,115
Less: warrants forfeited		(50,000	)		(0.07	)		(3,490	)
As at December 31, 2019		66,000					$	139,115

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has conducted, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Family Relationships

No family relationships exist among our directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

All directors hold office until the next annual stockholders’ meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until their successors have been elected and are qualified. Our officers serve at the will of the Board of Directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers have been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Other Directorships

Our directors do not hold any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Board of Directors and Director Nominees

The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than ninety (90) days prior to the next annual Board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board, as well as a list of references.

The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual’s experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board.

Some of the factors which the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees include their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination, and it is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.

40

Board and Committee Meetings

Our Board of Directors held no in person meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019. All proceedings of the Board of Directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there was no standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions for our company. Mr. Wong participates in the consideration of director nominees.

Conflicts of Interest

Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

· the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

· the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

· it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.

We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. When we do adopt a code of ethics, we will disclose it in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Audit Committee

We do not currently have an audit committee or a committee performing similar functions. The Board of Directors as a whole participates in the review of financial statements and disclosure.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no reports were required, the Company believes that for the year ended December 31, 2019, our directors and executive officers complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

The loan originally was due to be repaid on May 20, 2019, however, on April 24, 2019, the repayment date was extended to May 20, 2020. The Company repaid HK$1 million (equivalent to US$127,648) loan on April 24, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, amounts due to stockholders, Chi Kin Loo, Kwong Bun Mak, Xianqin Pan and Tak Leung Ho, included $872,968 and $398,208 at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively. The Company is currently in the exploration stage, and the stockholders advanced $517,329 working capital to meet the financing requirement for the year of 2019. Amounts due to stockholders are unsecured, interest-free and there are no fixed terms for repayment. The stockholders have agreed not to demand for repayment within the next 12 months for the balance sheet date.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, amount due to a director, Tak Shing Eddie Wong, of HK$576,000 (equivalent to US$73,950) and HK$576,000 (equivalent to US$73,560) respectively. The amount is unsecured, has no collateral or guarantee and is interest-free. The amount was fully repaid on March 13, 2020 and February 14, 2019, respectively.

During the year, the director, Sai Kit Leung advanced HK$1,295,687 (equivalent to US$165,392) to the Company. On September 29, 2019, the Company issued 33,096 common shares at a price of $3.66 to settle the amount due to the director of HK$944,832 (equivalent to US$121,133).

The director has agreed not to demand for repayment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Director Independence

We currently have four directors, one of which is independent. We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors’ acts in such capacities. We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee because we believe that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors. Additionally, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.

Indemnification

Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law.

The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the total fees billed by Moore Stephens CPA Limited for audit-related services was $148,063, for tax services was $0 and for all other services was $0.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the total fees billed by Moore Stephens CPA Limited for audit-related services was $124,457, for tax services was $0 and for all other services was $0.

NOTE 16 - WARRANT EQUITY

On November 21, 2018 (“Issuance Date”), the Company issued First Subscription Package of up to $52,500, consisting of 150,000 common shares and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 (the “Warrants”) to purchase common stock within three years from the Issuance Date, to accredited subscribers.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued Second Subscription Package of up to $825,000, consisting of 330,000 common shares and 66,000 warrants exercisable at $3.00 to purchase common stock within three years from the respective issuance dates, to accredited subscribers.

The two investors in the First Subscription Package, which was completed on November 21, 2018, forfeited their rights to exercise the 25,000 warrant at $1.00 of their own accord.

The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the subscriptions. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity under ASC 480. The warrants, in specified situations, provide for certain compensation remedies to a holder if the Company fails to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants in accordance with the warrant terms.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company reviewed the valuation technique and inputs used to determine the fair value of the outstanding warrants. The Company engaged an outside valuation company to calculate the fair value of warrants based on the Binominal Option Pricing Model (“Binomial”).

Set out below are the major parameters adopted in the valuation:

Grant date	January 2019			February 2019			March 2019			April 2019
Stock price of the issuer at respective grant dates	$	3.50		$	3.50		$	3.50		$	3.50

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

LEASING ARRANGEMENT

NOTE 5 - LEASING ARRANGEMENT

The Company leases certain office and warehouse spaces under operating leases in Hong Kong and Mongolia. Operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within right-of-use asset, and current lease liability respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The discount rate implicit within the leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the leases is determined based on lease term and currency in which lease payments are made, adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019 was 11%.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, TGS, and all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of TGS. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment, actual results may be different from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, deferred tax valuation allowances, income-tax uncertainties, assumptions used to determine the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, depreciation and amortization periods, recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets, valuation of warrant equity, and valuation and impairment losses on mining rights and valuation of asset retirement obligations and exploration asset compensation.

Concentration and credit risks

Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents to date. The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.

The Company operates principally in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and Mongolia and grants credit to its customers in these geographic regions. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash and deposits with maturities of less than one year in banks of $96,495 and $116,744, respectively.

The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2019
	Amount		%
Customer A	$	40,907		15
Customer B		60,314		21
Customer C		181,636		64
	$	282,857		100

	Year ended December 31, 2018
	Amount		%
Customer D	$	261,159		39
Customer E		393,566		59
	$	654,725		98

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in administrative expenses.

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of customers’ or other debtors’ inability to meet their financial obligations, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables will be further adjusted. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no allowance of accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s cash amounted to $106,850 and $98,121, respectively, and there were no cash equivalents.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of acquired mining rights and are initially measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortized on the units-of-production method utilizing only proven and probable fluorite reserves in the depletion base.

Property, plant and equipment

(i)	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years, representing the shorter of the remaining term of the mining right or the expected useful life to the Company.
(ii)	Other categories of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

· Leasehold improvements: 5 years or the shorter of the remaining term of the lease

· Furniture and equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Motor vehicles: 3 to 10 years

· Factory equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Mineral properties: Unit-of-production

(iii) Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expenses as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations, or improve operating efficiency are capitalized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital, based upon the projected remaining future fluorspar production from each mining site. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of fluorspar that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences at enacted rates and classified as a non-current asset or liability. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in years, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties from tax assessments, if any, are included in income taxes in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

A tax position must be more likely than not of being sustained in order to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions or accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect to have a material change to its income tax provisions in the next year.

Restoration and remediation costs (Asset retirement obligations)

In Mongolia, the mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after completion of the mining activities.

Future reclamation and remediation costs, which include extraction equipment removal and environmental remediation, are accrued at the end of each period based on management’s best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred for each project. Such estimates consider the costs of future surface and groundwater activities, current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.

In accordance with FASB ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, the Company capitalizes the measured fair value of asset retirement obligations to mineral properties. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until the time at which they are expected to be settled. The accretion expense is charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.

On a regular basis, the Company reviews the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligations, as well as changes in any regulatory or legal obligations for each of its mineral projects. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions may cause revision of asset retirement obligations for the corresponding assets.

Revenue recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in a material adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company has two kinds of revenue, sales of fluorite and commission income.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of a customer order or contract. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product. In determining when and how much revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The sales of the Company’s products to its customers represent a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at a point in time. Based on the foregoing, no significant judgment is required to determine when control of a product has been transferred to a customer.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Company must determine whether the obligation is to provide the specified good or service itself (i.e., the Company is the principal in the transaction) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (i.e., the Company is an agent in the transaction). When the Company is responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, based on the ability to control the product or service provided, the Company is considered as a principal and revenue is recognized for the gross amount of consideration. When the other party is primarily responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, the Company is considered as an agent and revenue is recognized in the amount of any fee or commission to which the Company is entitled. The Company purchase minerals from suppliers and receive payments from the customers on selling certain goods. The Company has been determined as an agent for the ultimate customers in these transactions and the revenue is recorded net of the related fulfillment costs as commission income.

The Company measures revenue based on the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products. The standard terms and conditions of customer orders and contracts does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), price protection, rebates or discounts. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

See note 13 regarding the Company’s revenue disaggregated by reporting segment.

Provision for exploration asset compensation

The Government of Mongolia issued a policy that requires all mining companies to pay compensation to the Government if the exploration work on their mining license area was funded by the Government. The compensation amount for the exploration work done has been estimated by the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia.

The provision for exploration expenditure is calculated as the discounted net present value of estimated future net cash outflows of the reclamation and closure costs.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold included raw material costs.

Exploration costs

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Costs to identify new mineral resources and to evaluate potential resources are considered exploration costs.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs included transportation and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from mines to customer designated locations, security fee, royalty and custom tax.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, rent and utilities, and other general operating expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is different from TGS subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The functional currency of the subsidiaries in Mongolia, Khan Shashir LLC and Shek Hung Gold LLC, is the Mongolian Tugrik (“MNT”). The functional currency of the subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Best Metro Import & Export Trading (Inner Mongolia) Limited is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), while the functional currency of all other subsidiaries is the Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”).

The functional currency of TGS is the USD. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries where HKD, MNT and RMB are the functional currencies and which have transactions denominated in non-HKD/MNT/RMB currencies are translated into HKD/MNT/RMB at the exchange rates existing on that date. The translation of local currencies into HKD/MNT/RMB creates transaction adjustments which are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The financial statements of TGS’s foreign subsidiaries, where non-USD currencies are the functional currencies, are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for the statement of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial statements are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as all changes in equity/(deficit), exclusive of transactions with stockholders, such as capital investments. Comprehensive loss includes net loss and changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all common stock equivalents if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had warrants and convertible bonds outstanding which could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses.

Fair value measurement

The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:-

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial instruments are measured as follows:-

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, accrued charges, other payables, loans from related persons, convertible bonds, other loan, amount due to directors and amounts due to stockholders, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

Conversion Option – Convertible bonds

The Company accounts for convertible bond in accordance with the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company separates the convertible bond into liability and equity components. The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible bond, which is the equity component and recorded as additional paid-in capital, is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain bonds payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible bond when issued.

To determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible instrument, and then uses those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible instrument on the proceeds allocated to that instrument.

The accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid in capital, resulting in a discount to the convertible instrument. This discount should be accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date.

The discount is amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method.

Warrants

ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815-40, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required from period to period.

Lease

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Leases are recorded in "Right-of-use ("ROU") assets" and "lease liabilities" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date for determining the present value of lease payments. Lease term includes the effects of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, the Company adopted, “Leases” (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective method provides a method of recognizing those leases which had not expired as of the date of adoption of January 1, 2019. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 840.

The Company elected the practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance under Topic 842, which amongst other matters, allowed the Company (i) not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less), (ii) not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (iii) not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iv) not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The adoption resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $369,874 and lease liabilities of $369,874 for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on opening balance of accumulated deficit. Refer to note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details.

The Company reviews ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will originally become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. As a smaller reporting company, the effective date for the Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted upon issuance of this ASU. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This Update states a private company (reporting entity) may elect not to apply VIE guidance to legal entities under common control (including common control leasing arrangements) if both the parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities. This Update also states indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. For the Company, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2019

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, TGS, and all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of TGS. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment, actual results may be different from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, deferred tax valuation allowances, income-tax uncertainties, assumptions used to determine the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, depreciation and amortization periods, recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets, valuation of warrant equity, and valuation and impairment losses on mining rights and valuation of asset retirement obligations and exploration asset compensation.

Concentration and credit risks

Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents to date. The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.

The Company operates principally in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and Mongolia and grants credit to its customers in these geographic regions. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash and deposits with maturities of less than one year in banks of $96,495 and $116,744, respectively.

The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2019
	Amount		%
Customer A	$	40,907		15
Customer B		60,314		21
Customer C		181,636		64
	$	282,857		100

	Year ended December 31, 2018
	Amount		%
Customer D	$	261,159		39
Customer E		393,566		59
	$	654,725		98

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in administrative expenses.

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivables are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of customers’ or other debtors’ inability to meet their financial obligations, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables will be further adjusted. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no allowance of accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s cash amounted to $106,850 and $98,121, respectively, and there were no cash equivalents.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of acquired mining rights and are initially measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortized on the units-of-production method utilizing only proven and probable fluorite reserves in the depletion base.

Property, plant and equipment

(i)	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 to 40 years, representing the shorter of the remaining term of the mining right or the expected useful life to the Company.
(ii)	Other categories of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

· Leasehold improvements: 5 years or the shorter of the remaining term of the lease

· Furniture and equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Motor vehicles: 3 to 10 years

· Factory equipment: 3 to 10 years

· Mineral properties: Unit-of-production

(iii) Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expenses as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations, or improve operating efficiency are capitalized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital, based upon the projected remaining future fluorspar production from each mining site. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of fluorspar that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, fluorspar prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences at enacted rates and classified as a non-current asset or liability. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in years, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties from tax assessments, if any, are included in income taxes in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

A tax position must be more likely than not of being sustained in order to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions or accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect to have a material change to its income tax provisions in the next year.

Restoration and remediation costs (Asset retirement obligations)

In Mongolia, the mining laws and regulations require the Company to reclaim the surface areas and restore underground water quality for its mine projects to the pre-existing mine area average quality after completion of the mining activities.

Future reclamation and remediation costs, which include extraction equipment removal and environmental remediation, are accrued at the end of each period based on management’s best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred for each project. Such estimates consider the costs of future surface and groundwater activities, current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.

In accordance with FASB ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, the Company capitalizes the measured fair value of asset retirement obligations to mineral properties. The asset retirement obligations are accreted to an undiscounted value until the time at which they are expected to be settled. The accretion expense is charged to earnings and the actual retirement costs are recorded against the asset retirement obligations when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred will be recorded as a gain or loss in the period of settlement.

On a regular basis, the Company reviews the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligations, as well as changes in any regulatory or legal obligations for each of its mineral projects. Changes in any one or more of these assumptions may cause revision of asset retirement obligations for the corresponding assets.

Revenue recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in a material adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company has two kinds of revenue, sales of fluorite and commission income.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of a customer order or contract. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product. In determining when and how much revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The sales of the Company’s products to its customers represent a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at a point in time. Based on the foregoing, no significant judgment is required to determine when control of a product has been transferred to a customer.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Company must determine whether the obligation is to provide the specified good or service itself (i.e., the Company is the principal in the transaction) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (i.e., the Company is an agent in the transaction). When the Company is responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, based on the ability to control the product or service provided, the Company is considered as a principal and revenue is recognized for the gross amount of consideration. When the other party is primarily responsible for satisfying a performance obligation, the Company is considered as an agent and revenue is recognized in the amount of any fee or commission to which the Company is entitled. The Company purchase minerals from suppliers and receive payments from the customers on selling certain goods. The Company has been determined as an agent for the ultimate customers in these transactions and the revenue is recorded net of the related fulfillment costs as commission income.

The Company measures revenue based on the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products. The standard terms and conditions of customer orders and contracts does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), price protection, rebates or discounts. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

See note 13 regarding the Company’s revenue disaggregated by reporting segment.

Provision for exploration asset compensation

The Government of Mongolia issued a policy that requires all mining companies to pay compensation to the Government if the exploration work on their mining license area was funded by the Government. The compensation amount for the exploration work done has been estimated by the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia.

The provision for exploration expenditure is calculated as the discounted net present value of estimated future net cash outflows of the reclamation and closure costs.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold included raw material costs.

Exploration costs

Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Costs to identify new mineral resources and to evaluate potential resources are considered exploration costs.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs included transportation and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from mines to customer designated locations, security fee, royalty and custom tax.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, rent and utilities, and other general operating expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is different from TGS subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The functional currency of the subsidiaries in Mongolia, Khan Shashir LLC and Shek Hung Gold LLC, is the Mongolian Tugrik (“MNT”). The functional currency of the subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Best Metro Import & Export Trading (Inner Mongolia) Limited is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), while the functional currency of all other subsidiaries is the Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”).

The functional currency of TGS is the USD. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries where HKD, MNT and RMB are the functional currencies and which have transactions denominated in non-HKD/MNT/RMB currencies are translated into HKD/MNT/RMB at the exchange rates existing on that date. The translation of local currencies into HKD/MNT/RMB creates transaction adjustments which are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The financial statements of TGS’s foreign subsidiaries, where non-USD currencies are the functional currencies, are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for the statement of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial statements are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as all changes in equity/(deficit), exclusive of transactions with stockholders, such as capital investments. Comprehensive loss includes net loss and changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all common stock equivalents if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had warrants and convertible bonds outstanding which could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses.

Fair value measurement

The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value.

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:-

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial instruments are measured as follows:-

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, accounts payable, accrued charges, other payables, loans from related persons, convertible bonds, other loan, amount due to directors and amounts due to stockholders, approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments. 

Conversion Option - Convertible bonds

The Company accounts for convertible bond in accordance with the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company separates the convertible bond into liability and equity components. The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible bond, which is the equity component and recorded as additional paid-in capital, is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain bonds payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible bond when issued.

To determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible instrument, and then uses those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible instrument on the proceeds allocated to that instrument.

The accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid in capital, resulting in a discount to the convertible instrument. This discount should be accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date.

The discount is amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible bonds using the effective interest method.

Warrants

ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of ASC 815-40, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required from period to period.

Lease

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Leases are recorded in "Right-of-use ("ROU") assets" and "lease liabilities" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date for determining the present value of lease payments. Lease term includes the effects of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, the Company adopted, “Leases” (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective method provides a method of recognizing those leases which had not expired as of the date of adoption of January 1, 2019. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 840.

The Company elected the practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance under Topic 842, which amongst other matters, allowed the Company (i) not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less), (ii) not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (iii) not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iv) not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The adoption resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $369,874 and lease liabilities of $369,874 for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on opening balance of accumulated deficit. Refer to note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details.

The Company reviews ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will originally become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. As a smaller reporting company, the effective date for the Company has been delayed until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, in accordance with ASU 2019-10, although early adoption is still permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted upon issuance of this ASU. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This Update states a private company (reporting entity) may elect not to apply VIE guidance to legal entities under common control (including common control leasing arrangements) if both the parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities. This Update also states indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. For the Company, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. This standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements after evaluation.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

NOTE 15 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per common share is presented under two formats: basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potentially dilutive impact of common stock equivalents (e.g. stock options, warrants and convertible bonds). Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

The statutory tax rate in the Republic of Seychelles is 25% on the first 1 million Seychelles Rupee of taxable income and 33% on the remainder. The Company is subject to income taxes in the Republic of Seychelles for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Hong Kong Tax

BMHK, AHK and CAHK are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at the rate of 16.5% on the assessable profits. No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as these companies incurred a loss for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Mongolia Corporate Income Tax

KSS and SHG are registered and operate in Mongolia and are subject to Mongolia Corporate Income Tax at the rate of 10% on taxable income below MNT3 billion, or MNT300 million plus 25% on taxable income exceeding MNT3 billion. No provision for Mongolia corporate income tax has been made as these companies incurred a loss for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

BMIM is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax at the statutory rate of 25%. No provision for PRC Enterprise Income Tax has been made as this company incurred a loss for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are attributable to the following:

	As of
	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Tax loss carry forwards	$	301,091		$	287,735
Less: Valuation allowance		(301,091	)		(287,735	)

Changes in valuation allowance are as follows:

	As of
	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Beginning balance	$	287,735	$	212,789
Increase in valuation allowance		13,011		66,756
Exchange difference		345		8,190
Ending balance	$	301,091	$	287,735

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Hong Kong subsidiaries have tax losses arising in Hong Kong of approximately $1,602,522 (2018: $1,592,556) that are available indefinitely for offsetting against its future taxable profits. The PRC subsidiary has tax losses arising in PRC of approximately $146,700 (2018: $99,851) that are available for offsetting against its future taxable profits, which expire between 2022-2024 and between 2022-2023, respectively. The Company had total accumulated tax losses amounting to approximately $1,749,222 and $1,692,407 (the tax effect thereon being approximately $301,091 and $287,735), respectively, subject to the final agreement by the relevant tax authorities, which may be carried forward and applied to reduce future taxable income which is earned in or derived from the jurisdictions in which the tax losses were incurred. Realization of deferred tax assets associated with tax losses carry forwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. A full valuation allowance is established against such tax losses at each balance sheet date since management believes it is more likely than not that such tax losses will not be utilized.

A reconciliation of the income tax expense to the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate of 21% to the loss before income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income is as follows:-

	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Loss before income taxes	$	(2,115,716	)	$	(1,241,452	)

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Dec. 31, 2019

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

TGS International Ltd. (“TGS”, “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada, United States on December 1, 2016. On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Arcus Mining Holdings Limited (“Arcus”) and Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Arcus, which was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on June 17, 2014, and its subsidiaries are engaged in fluorite mining operations in Mongolia, including the processing and sales of fluorite products. Up to December 31, 2019 and the date of this report, the Company owns three mining rights in Mongolia (Mining license numbers: MV-016819, MV-017305 and MV-009918). During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not commence regular mining operations except for a trial production which was conducted in Mine A and Mine B, which are located in Uulbayan soum, Sukhbaatar province (Mining license number: MV-009918) and Bayan-Ovoo soum, Khentii province (Mining license number: MV-016819), respectively.

Reverse merger

On September 14, 2018, the Company and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018 with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The merger closed on September 14, 2018 and resulted in the following:

Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 6,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock were cancelled and retired. A further 30,000 shares were cancelled after the Share Exchange.

As a result of the transactions described above, the Company became the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the share capital of Arcus and therefore owns 100% of the share capital of its subsidiaries.

As a result of the Share Exchange, the cancellation of 6,530,000 shares and the issuance of 7,000,000 shares, the Company had 14,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on September 14, 2018.

The transaction is accounted for as a “reverse acquisition”, with Arcus being treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The historical consolidated financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer and its subsidiaries for all periods presented.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $2,115,716 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,555,450. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the net current liabilities as of December 31, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Since the Company is currently in the exploration stage, it is still in the capital investing period. Management has prepared a business cash flow forecast and it indicates that the Company will have positive cash inflow after the commencement of formal production in 2021. Management believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financing requirements for the next 12 months based on the financial support of certain stockholders, issuance of new convertible bonds, proceed from unrelated party loans and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.
