The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of these financial statements
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Asian Dragon Group Inc. (“Asian Dragon”, “ADG”, “We”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on June 11, 2003. Asian Dragon was established to develop projects which focus on China’s growing precious and base metals reserves and markets.
On April 10, 2008 the Company incorporated a British Columbia company named Asian Dragon Silver Inc. (“ADSI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of both the Company and its subsidiary.
The Company is currently evaluating new opportunities and plans to develop a strategic plan based in the mineral exploration industry.
Our fiscal year end is August 31st.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since August 15, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period account balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
NOTE 2 – Going Concern
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an operating loss from continuing operations for the six month period ending February 28, 2010 of $(42,323) and has accumulated net losses since its inception in the amount of $(23,395,604). Additionally the Company has a deficit in working capital and stockholders equity and has had limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent on many factors, many of which have a high degree of uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to successfully fulfill its business plan. Management is attempting to raise additional funds to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company through a combination of equity and debt financings. While the Company is making its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these matters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2009 AND THE EXPLORATION STAGE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 15, 2006 TO FEBRUARY 28, 2010
Revenues
ADG did not earn revenues during the periods included in the financial statements in this report.
Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified into seven categories:
- Exploration Licenses
- Exploration Expenses
- Agent Fees
- Professional and Consultant Fees
- Stock Based Compensation – officers and directors
- Investor Relations
- Administrative Expenses
Exploration Licenses
Expenditures for Exploration Licenses were $nil and $nil respectively for the three month and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus $nil and $nil for the same periods ended February 28, 2009. For the period of August 15, 2006 (inception) to February 28, 2010 (the “Exploration Stage”) costs for Exploration Licenses totaled $13,372,593. We anticipate these expenses may increase over the next twelve months as we develop new business plans.
Exploration Expenses
Exploration Expenses were $nil and $nil respectively for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus $nil and $nil for the same periods ended February 28, 2009. Expenses for the Exploration Stage totaled $72,850. We anticipate these expenses may increase during the next twelve months.
Agent Fees
Agent Fees were $nil and $nil for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus $nil and $nil for the same periods ended February 28, 2009. Agent Fees for the Exploration Stage totaled $1,852,500. We do not anticipate we will incur further expenses in this area over the next twelve months.
Professional and Consultant Fees
Professional & Consultant Fees are comprised of fees audit, accounting, legal and other professionals. During the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus the same periods ended February 28, 2009, these fees were $19,760 and $25,260 versus $12,058 and $41,060, respectively. For the Exploration Stage, these costs totaled $529,235. We anticipate Professional & Consultant Fees will remain at current levels in the upcoming twelve months.
Stock Based Compensation – officers and directors
Stock Based Compensation expenses totaled $nil and $nil for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus $nil and $nil for the same periods ended February 28, 2009. During the Exploration Stage these costs totaled $6,975,491. Past expenses have related to stock and option issuances to our officers and directors. We do not anticipate incurring stock based compensation expenses during fiscal 2009.
Investor Relations
Investor Relations expenses comprise costs for press releases, maintenance of the Company’s website and other investor information initiatives. During the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus the same periods ended February 28, 2009, these expenses totaled $nil and $nil versus $nil and $nil, respectively. For the Exploration Stage, Investor Relations expenses totaled $137,956. We anticipate Investor Relations expenses may increase during the next twelve months as we continue our efforts to raise further capital and keep current investors informed of Company developments.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative Expenses were $5,224 and $8,884 versus $904 and $8,154 for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 versus the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2009, respectively. For the Exploration Stage, Administrative Expenses totaled $198,512. These expenses are composed of travel, Edgar agent filing fees, stock transfer agent fees and general office expenses. We anticipate Administrative Expenses may increase moderately in the upcoming year as we implement our business plans.
Net Income (Loss)
We incurred net losses for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 of $(29,272) and $(42,323), respectively and net losses for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2009 of $(15,933) and $(54,916), respectively. The Net Loss for the Exploration Stage was $(23,395,604).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from sale of common stock and shareholder loans. Uses of funds have included activities to establish and develop our business. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of February 28, 2010, consisted of cash resources of $1,062, prepaid expenses of $11,192, and shareholder loans from a related party. Under the shareholder loans, loan advances to or on behalf of ADG or ADSI, bear interest at 5% per annum, calculated and compounded annually, not in advance. ADG or ADSI are required to repay the outstanding principal and interest at any time on demand. Prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest may be made by ADG or ADSI at any time without notice, bonus or penalty. The amount outstanding under the shareholder loan was $336,356 including accrued interest as of February 28, 2010. Since Exploration Stage inception through to and including May 31, 2008, we have executed cash sales of our common shares totaling $7,193,860 through private placements.
Material Events and Uncertainties
Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.
Employees
As of February 28, 2010, we had no employees and used contracted services to perform geological work, legal services and our bookkeeping. Additionally our CEO was engaged on a consulting basis. Going forward, the Company will use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of its project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management.
Critical Accounting Policies
Asian Dragon’s financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis which includes the accounts of both the Company and its subsidiary and include related public financial information based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in NOTE 2 of the financial statements included with our Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, Asian Dragon views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on Asian Dragon’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION RISK
Our reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”). We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risk or for speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in reaching that level of assurance.
As of the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of February 28, 2010, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 28, 2010, as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, no material changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
Remediation Plan
Addition of staff
We have identified that additional staff will be required to properly segment the accounting duties of the Company. However, we do not currently have resources to fulfill this part of our plan and will be addressing this matter once sufficient resources are available.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of our business:
THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO JUDGE ITS PROSPECTS.
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company's shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE UNCERTAIN.
For the three months ended February 28, 2010, the Company had a Net Loss of $(29,272). The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR ITS SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES.
There is only a limited trading market for the Company's shares. The Company's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and "bid" and "asked" quotations regularly appear on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "AADG" and the Company is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “P2J1”. There can be no assurance that the Company's common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of the Company's common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the "penny stock rules" which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.
FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.
If required, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock. Future sales of shares by the Company or its stockholders could cause the market price of its common stock to decline.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The Company does not have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition
THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER INDUSTRY REGULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The operations of the Company include exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.
COMPETITION MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE PRECIOUS METALS PROPERTIES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS.
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of precious metals acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive precious metals properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by the Company on properties it intends to acquire will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.
DOWNWARD FLUCTUATIONS IN METAL PRICES MAY SEVERELY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY.
The Company has no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the metals for which it is exploring. A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of the Company.
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY RELIES ON CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS AND THE LOSS OF ONE OF THESE CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY.
The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company's growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President & CEO, CFO, PAO, Treasurer & Secretary, Chair & Director of the Company, John Karlsson, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN KEY MAN INSURANCE TO COMPENSATE THE COMPANY FOR THE LOSS OF CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS.
The Company does not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of its senior officers or personnel, although the Board has discussed and investigated the prospect of obtaining key man insurance for John Karlsson.
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEPOSIT OR "RESERVE" EXISTS ON ANY PROPERTIES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS, OR MIGHT OBTAIN, AN INTEREST.
The Company is an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists on any properties for which the Company currently has (through an option) or may have (through potential future joint venture agreements or acquisitions) an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If the Company fails to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS MERELY TO DETERMINE WHETHER COMMERCIAL PRECIOUS METAL DEPOSITS EXIST ON OUR PROPERTIES.
Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
|
|
§
|
Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
|
|
|
§
|
Availability and costs of financing;
|
|
|
§
|
Ongoing costs of production;
|
|
|
§
|
Market prices for the precious metals to be produced;
|
|
|
§
|
Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
|
|
|
§
|
Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.

GENERAL MINING RISKS
Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from any resource properties the Company may acquire. Metal prices, in particular gold and silver prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, and allowable production and importing and exporting of precious metals can adversely affect the Company. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies.
