TGS International Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

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 September 30, 2020 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has adopted open-pit mining at Mine A which is located in Uulbayansoum, Sukhbaatar province (Mining license number: MV-009918). Due to COVID-19, the Mongolian Government has closed all ports of entry from and into China until December 31, 2020. The Company would not be able to resume the exploration work at Mine B in 2020.

Basis of Presentation

These accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of TGS as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,083,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,445,357. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the net current liabilities as of September 30, 2020, 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 parties 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

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, the 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 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.

In August 2020, the FASB issued No. ASU 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

The unamortized debt discount on the convertible bond as of September 30, 2020 was $2,377.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, four new convertible bond agreements were entered into between the Company, Arcus and third party investors. All of them matured during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and were settled by issuing 92,275 common shares at a price stated in the respective agreements, representing loans of HK$2.6 million and interest expenses of HK$5,521, for a total of HK$2,605,521 (equivalent to $334,027) (see note 8). In addition, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount to the bond of $7,390 that is being amortized over the life of the convertible bond using the effective interest method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company amortized $7,390 of the discount and recognized non-cash interest of $695 to interest expenses.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company was supposed to resume exploratory and construction work at Mine B in the early second quarter of 2020. However, the global COVID-19 outbreak, which is gradually getting worse, has resulted in delays in the resumption of work, since the Chinese workers cannot enter Mongolia until December 31, 2020 the earliest.

These developments are expected to result in very limited sales, compared to the Company’s business cash flow forecast prepared. If the border between Mongolia and the rest of the world opens on December 31, 2020, the Company would not consider applying for working visas for the Chinese workers as it is the time of winter break. Furthermore, the Chinese workers will be subject to a 21-day quarantine which each worker has to pay a fee per day for the whole quarantine period. This would be an additional cost, including the time and finances, to the Company. The Company expects there are only small-scale activities in Mongolia throughout 2020. This would significantly hinder and reduce the Company’s mining and production operations and, thus, reduce the production output, and impact on sales.

There may be further uncertainties, given the global economy is enduring a difficult period. In view of this situation, the Company expects a negative impact on operating results. However, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as the management cannot predict when the pandemic will be eradicated.

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 trial production at Mine A and Mine B started in 2019 and 2018 respectively and have been ongoing since that time.

The global COVID-19 situation shows no sign of improvement in some countries and regions, remaining very volatile and is gradually getting worse. This reflects the fact that the pandemic is yet to peak globally. The World Health Organization and health experts have advised that COVID-19 would not be eradicated without effective treatment and vaccination. According to BBC News, most experts think a vaccine is likely to become widely available by mid-2021 but there are uncertainties.

The Mongolian Government has implemented the measure of closing all ports of entry from and into China, extending this for the tenth time since February 2020. The Government proposes to lift the measure on December 31, 2020. Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of a widespread pandemic, causing labor shortages and increasing government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the business, financial condition, growth strategies and results of operations of the Company.

Since our operation of Mine B, which generates major operation income for the Company, has been suspended since late November 2019 due to the regular winter break and the unpredictable outbreak of COVID-19 since the first quarter of 2020, the Company is in financial difficulty – there is extremely low operation income which generated mainly from Mine A but there are high expenses in our three offices: the Hong Kong headquarters, the Erenhot office in China and the Mongolian office.

The construction of the refinery at Mine B was completed in late November 2019 while the last step of power supply upgrade at Mine B is still in progress. We expect to get the power supply upgraded in 2021 once our Chinese workers are allowed to enter Mongolia. The entire refinery could be put to trial once it is ready.

The resolution of current global health issues remains uncertain – as well as the government’s response to the changing situation. The global economic outlook for 2020 remains pessimistic, given it dependency on the future development of global trade tensions, the monetary policy stance of major central banks, and the impact of COVID-19. Taking a strictly prudent response, the Company is stringently managing working capital, from both existing and potential investors, to ensure we have sufficient cash for daily operations, which is vital to weathering the currently difficult operating environment.

The financial situation of the Company is volatile and unforeseen as ever. Currently, we have been strictly prudent towards the pandemic. The Company will continuously and closely monitor the developments of COVID-19, evaluate and proactively address its impact on the Company’s financial position and performance. For the remainder of 2020, the management will continue to be diligent in keeping the operations streamlined and optimizing operations, endeavoring to do our best so to minimize the negative impact on our operations and trial production.

On April 20, 2020, the Company issued 25,641 common shares at a price of $4.00 per share to settle the amount due to a stockholder of HK$800,000 (equivalent to $102,564).

On September 14, 2020, the Company issued 39,677 common shares at a price of $4.00 per share to settle the amount due to a stockholder of HK$1,237,941 (equivalent to $158,710).

On September 22, 2020, two directors, Mr. Shaowei DENG and Miss Ka Yi POON, resigned from the Company for personal reasons.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Revenue

Revenue consisted mainly of fluorspar products generated from production at Mine A. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a total revenue of $107,351, as compared to nil revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to the adoption of open-pit mining at Mine A in the first nine months ended September 30, 2020. Although mining activities are subject to weather, open-pit mining is more flexible.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a total revenue of $14,628, as compared to nil revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The result of such increase is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.

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 decreased from $422,180 for the first nine months in 2019 to $114,454 for the first nine months in 2020. The percentage of such decrease was approximately 73% and was mainly because of the decrease in service fee paid and utilities cost as no operating activities were carried out in Mine B for the first nine months in 2020 and the decrease in mining overheads in Mine B.

For the three months ended September 30, the exploration cost decreased significantly from $304,521 in 2019 to $15,074 in 2020. The result of such reduction is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.

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 from $23,572 for the first nine months in 2019 to $64,043 for the first nine months in 2020. The increment was approximately 2 times and was mainly due to the increase in security fee and royalty tax paid to the Mongolian Government.

For the three months ended September 30, the selling and distribution costs decreased slightly from $8,240 in 2019 to $7,415 in 2020. The result of such decrease was mainly due to the net effect of the increase in tax paid to the Mongolian Government and the decrease in monthly security fee.

Administrative expenses

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

Administrative expenses increased slightly from $920,069 for the first nine months in 2019 to $927,545 for the first nine months in 2020. The percentage of such increment was approximately 1% and was mainly due to the net effect of the increase in net foreign exchange losses and the decrease in commission expenses related to subscription package, entertainment, legal and professional fee and travelling expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, the total administrative expenses are increased from $256,294 in 2019 to $267,711 in 2020. The result of such increase is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.

Other income

Other income increased significantly from $691 for the first nine months in 2019 to $17,174 for the first nine months in 2020. The increment was approximately 24 times as a result of subsidy received from Hong Kong and Mongolian Governments in 2020 resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19 so as to ease the effects impacted on the corporation’s business.

For the three months ended September 30, other income increased from $25 in 2019 to $1,581 in 2020. The result of such increase is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.

Interest expenses

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

Interest expenses increased from $69,530 for the first nine months in 2019 to $74,888 for the first nine months in 2020. The percentage of such increment was approximately 8% as a result of amortization of non-cash interest expenses and bond discount related to the convertible bonds for the first nine months in 2020 and an increase in the interest expenses of loans.

For the three months ended September 30, the interest expenses increased from $19,086 in 2019 to $20,695 in 2020. The increment was mainly due to the net effect of the increase of amortization of non-cash interest expenses and interest expenses of loans and the decrease in lease payment representing interest of Hong Kong office incurred in 2019, but nil in 2020.

Net loss

As a result of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $1,083,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $1,455,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and a net loss of $303,697 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $596,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Although we had revenue in the first nine months in 2020, the net loss resulted mainly from the increase in selling and distribution cost and net foreign exchange losses.

14

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash was $84,571 and $106,850, 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 parties 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 to obtain financing, if at all or upon terms that will be acceptable to us.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2020, we had $84,571 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $106,850 on December 31, 2019.

Net cash used in operating activities

Our net cash used in operating activities increased to $687,547 for the first nine months of 2020 from $541,245 for the first nine months of 2019. Net cash used in operating activities for the first nine months of 2020 primarily reflected our net loss of $1,083,705 and the add-back of non-cash items, mainly consisting of depreciation of property, plant and equipment of $36,905, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment of $4,105, amortization of non-cash interest expenses and bond discount related to convertible bonds of $17,612, non-cash interest expenses related to other loans of $13,099, exchange difference of $347,856, and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of an increase in accounts receivable of $38,887, an increase of other receivables of $49,024, an increase of deposits and prepayments of $11,551, a decrease in accrued charges of $79,182, and offset by an increase of trade and other payables of $155,225.

Net cash used in investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities decreased to $82,558 for the first nine months of 2020 from $719,055 for the first nine months of 2019. This was represented by net effect of acquisition of property, plant and equipment at mine sites and proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $750,778 for the first nine months of 2020 from $1,277,815 for the first nine months of 2019. This was mainly the net result of settlement of amount due to a director of $61,810, an increase in advances from stockholders of $453,615, proceeds from other loan and issuance of convertible bonds of $25,641 and $333,332 respectively in the first nine months of 2020.

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 other loans, 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.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,083,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,445,357. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the net current liabilities as of September 30, 2020, 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 parties loans and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020.

Our management, with the participation of our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of 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 and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (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.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, with the participation of our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), will be conducted annually in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. Management concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

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 September 30, 2020 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has adopted open-pit mining at Mine A which is located in Uulbayansoum, Sukhbaatar province (Mining license number: MV-009918). Due to COVID-19, the Mongolian Government has closed all ports of entry from and into China until

December 31, 2020. The Company would not be able to resume the exploration work at Mine B in 2020.

Basis of Presentation

These accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of TGS as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.

Going Concern

The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,083,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,445,357. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the net current liabilities as of September 30, 2020, 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 parties loans and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Sep. 30, 2020

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, the 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 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.

In August 2020, the FASB issued No. ASU 2020-06, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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 9 - WARRANT EQUITY

In 2018, 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 respective issuance date, November 21, 2018, to accredited subscribers.

In 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 total of 50,000 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.

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

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company was supposed to resume exploratory and construction work at Mine B in the early second quarter of 2020. However, the global COVID-19 outbreak, which is gradually getting worse, has resulted in delays in the resumption of work, since the Chinese workers cannot enter Mongolia until December 31, 2020 the earliest.

These developments are expected to result in very limited sales, compared to the Company’s business cash flow forecast prepared. If the border between Mongolia and the rest of the world opens on December 31, 2020, the Company would not consider applying for working visas for the Chinese workers as it is the winter break. Furthermore, the Chinese workers will be subject to a 21-day quarantine which each worker has to pay a fee per day for the whole quarantine period. This would be an additional cost, including the time and finances, to the Company. The Company expects there are only small-scale activities in Mongolia throughout 2020. This would significantly hinder and reduce the Company’s mining and production operations and, thus, reduce the production output, and impact on sales.

There may be further uncertainties, given the global economy is enduring a difficult period. In view of this situation, the Company expects a negative impact on operating results. However, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as the management cannot predict when the pandemic will be eradicated.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent changes in accounting standards

Pending Adoption as at year end

In June 2016, the 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 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.

In August 2020, the FASB issued No. ASU 2020-06, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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.
