NOTE - 3  GOING  CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has committed and contracted for the acquisition of Dunford Corporation Sdn. Bhd. and the purchase of land for development, which are expected to be completed in the next twelve months. As of April 30, 2012, the Company has approximately $9.2 million available cash balance, which may not be sufficient to meet its working capital needs in light of the $19.9 million required to consummate its land acquisitions in the coming months. The Company plans to obtain the additional capital from its shareholders or external financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to meet with its obligations on a timely basis.

(Unaudited)

 

 

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

 

 

NOTE - 4  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

lUse of estimates

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

lBasis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries and VIE. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of companies acquired are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition using the acquisition method.

The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, “Imputation of Interest”.

lIncome taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of April 30, 2012, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

lForeign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, which is Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries or VIE maintain their books and record in a local currency, MYR or Renminbi (“RMB”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

  April 30,
  2012   2011
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate 3.0486   2.9618
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate 3.0987   3.0731

lRelated parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

lSegment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

 

lFair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, income tax payable, amount due to a director, amount due to a related party, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices for interest rates on similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under a finance lease approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s assets as of April 30, 2012 grouped by the categories described above:

 

     Quoted prices in
active markets
(Level 1)
    Significant other
observable inputs
(Level 2)
    Significant
unobservable inputs
(Level 3)
Securities available-for-sale   $3,705,783   $504,391   $-

 

Marketable securities available-for-sale were valued at the closing prices quoted on the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market with which the security is traded.

lRecent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follows:

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively. The adoption has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

690,805   100%   $ 101,290

 

(c) Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(d) Exchange rate risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR. If MYR depreciates against US$, the value of MYR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose it to substantial market risk.

Overview

 

History

 

We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 26, 2009, to serve as a holding company for our former smart home business, which was conducted through our former subsidiary, Home Touch Limited, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China corporation, or HTL. We acquired HTL on January 26, 2009, through a share exchange transaction in which we exchanged 40,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for 10,000 shares of HTL common stock. HTL was originally organized under the name Lexing Group Limited in July 2004 and was renamed Home Touch Limited in 2005.

 

On July 15, 2010, we effectuated a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, or the Reverse Split, of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with our plans to attract additional financing and potential business opportunities. As a result of the Reverse Split, our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 40,000,000 to 2,000,000.

 

Change in Control, Disposition of Smart Home Business, Acquisition of M-Commerce Business and Name Change

 

On November 15, 2010, we consummated the sale to certain accredited investors of an aggregate of 80,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at a per share price of $0.01, or $800,000 in the aggregate, and experienced a change of control. David Ng and Stella Wai Yau resigned from their positions as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Company, and the following individuals were appointed to serve as executive officers and directors of the Company effective November 15, 2010:

25
 

 

Name Office
Weng Kung Wong Chief Executive Officer, Director
Liong Tat Teh Chief Financial Officer, Director
Sek Fong Wong Secretary, Director

 

On December 6, 2010, we acquired Union Hub Technology Sdn. Bhd., or UHT, a company organized under the laws of Malaysia that was engaged in the design, development and operation of technologies to enable a community of users to engage in social networking, research and e-commerce on a mobile platform, or the m-commerce business, in consideration of 16,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Wooi Khang Pua and Kok Wai Chai, the former shareholders of UHT, are current directors of UHT, and each beneficially owns 4.98% of our issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Concurrently with the acquisition of UHT, we sold to Up Pride Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company owned by David Gunawan Ng, and Magicsuccess Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company owned by Stella Wai Yau, all of the issued and outstanding securities of HTL for cash consideration of $20,000. In connection with the sale, Mr. Ng and Ms. Yau, our former founders and executive officers, resigned from their positions on our board of directors. Our smart home business was conducted through HTL, and as result of the sale, we ceased our smart home business operations.

 

On January 25, 2011, we changed our name to Prime Global Capital Group Incorporated and increased our authorized capital to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Transition to Oilseeds Business

 

Our initial business plan broadly encompassed the development, distribution and operation of mobile and online social networking, ecommerce and search products and services. To generate revenue, in July 2010 we began providing IT consulting, programming and website development services to related and unrelated customers located in Malaysia and one customer in Singapore, all of whom were generated through the personal relationships of our executive officers. We were not able to launch our m-commerce platform in fiscal year 2011 and, excluding the provision of IT, programming and web development services, did not generate any revenue from our m-commerce business.

 

As a result of the challenges we experienced in implementing our m-commerce business plan, we began seeking business opportunities in the oilseeds industry in fiscal year 2011 with a specific focus on the acquisition, lease or management of existing castor seed and oil palm plantations located in Asia. In August 2011, we entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire a mature palm oil plantation through the acquisition of VSSB, our VIE. We expect to consummate the acquisition of the palm oil plantation and VSSB by the third quarter of 2012.

 

We also entered into a trial planting arrangement with Srira Cha province, Thailand, for the cultivation of castor plants in December 2011. Upon a successful trial planting, we anticipate entering into a five year contract farming arrangement with Srira Cha province involving up to 500,000 Rai of land with the goal of building and operating two castor processing plants during such five year period. We hope to commence trial planting by the third quarter of 2012.

 

Anticipated Real Estate Business

 

On March 30, 2012, we purchased a 99-year leasehold covering 21.8921 hectares (54.10 acres) of vacant land in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia through public auction. We intend to develop the land for commercial and or residential purposes upon the consummation of the sale. We are required to consummate the purchase within 120 days of March 30, 2012. The leasehold expires July 30, 2100.

 

In April 2012, we agreed to acquire Dunford Corporation Sdn. Bhd., or Dunford, for RM 55,000,000. Dunford’s primary assets consist of two parcels of vacant land located in Selangor, Malaysia and assets related to Dunford’s insurance agency and secretarial services businesses. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, we intend to dispose of the insurance agency and secretarial services business. We hope to consummate the Dunford acquisition during the third quarter of 2012.

26
 

We also acquired for nominal consideration a dormant company Max Trend International Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, or Max Trend. Max Trend owns Shenzhen Max Trend Green Energy Company Limited, a wholly foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, or SMTG, which is also dormant. We hope to operate a portion of our anticipated real estate business through Max Trend or SMTG.

 

We intend to commence development of commercial and or residential projects upon the consummation of our land purchases. We hope that our real estate projects will become a significant source of revenue for us in the future. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully consummate such acquisitions or develop such properties in the near future.

 

We will require approximately $10,000 to initiate trial planting of castor plants and $19.9 to consummate our real estate purchases. Our cash balance as of April 30, 2012, was approximately $9.2 million. Consistent with past practice, we hope to obtain the necessary additional financing from our shareholders, executive officers and directors or through external financing. We are currently conducting internal discussions to obtain the necessary financing, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms to timely meet our obligations.

 

Approval to Initiate Uplisting Process and Transition to Large Accelerated Filer Status

 

On December 12, 2011, our board of directors approved, authorized and directed our officers to initiate the process for listing shares of the Company’s common stock on one or more U.S. national securities exchanges including the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange.

 

As of April 30, 2012, we became a large accelerated filer.

 

Results of Operations

 

In response to our challenges in implementing our m-commerce business plan, we elected to cease all m-commerce activities except for the provision of IT consulting, programming and website development services in 2011. We also decided to limit distribution of consumer goods to opportunities that are readily available. As a result, during the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, we did not generate revenue from our distribution business and derived all of our revenue from: (i) the provision of IT consulting, programming and website development services; and (ii) our oilseeds business.

 

We expect this trend to continue until such time as we consummate our anticipated real estate purchases and begin our real estate business. At such point, we anticipate generating revenue from real estate related activities. If we are not able to replace the lost income through our oilseeds business, and if begun, our real estate business, our revenues, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. In fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, software and consumer goods sales accounted for approximately 77% and 20% of our total net revenue.

Our m-commerce and consumer distribution products businesses are operated through UHT. Our oilseeds business is operated through Virtual Setup Sdn. Bhd., or VSSB, our VIE., and Max Trend International Limited, or Max Trend. Our anticipated real estate business will be operated through PGCG Assets Holdings Sdn. Bhd., a wholly owned subsidiary of UHT.

 

Revenue. We generated net revenue of $614,728 for the three months ended April 30, 2012 with plantation sales accounting for $603,989, or approximately 98.3% of net revenues, and software sales accounting for $10,739, or approximately 1.7% of net revenues. For the same period ended April 30, 2011, we generated net revenue of $496,456 with software sales accounting for $487,662, or approximately 98.2% of net revenues, and product sales accounting for $8,794, or approximately 1.8% of net revenues. The decrease in net revenue from our software and product distribution businesses is a direct result of our shift away from these business segments and our focus on our oilseeds business. We expect this trend to continue on a going forward basis.

 

Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 21% for the three months ended April 30, 2012, as compared to approximately 24% for the same period in 2011. The slight decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in our product distribution business as offset by our increased focus on our oilseeds business. Cost of revenue consisted primarily of the costs related to the palm oil business such as rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues. We expect our cost of revenue to increase in the near future as we enter into harvest season and begin distribution of castor seeds.

 

Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $485,691 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, as compared to $378,591 for the same period in 2011. The increase is attributable to the increase in revenues generated by our oilseeds business during the three months ended April 30, 2012.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $312,417 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, representing an increase of $166,206, as compared to $146,211 for the three months ended April 30, 2011. The increase in G&A is primarily attributable to the marketing expenses incurred to promote our oilseeds business, consultancy fees incurred for uplisting process and fees incurred in connection with our annual shareholders meeting. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 50.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2012.

 

Other Income (Expense). We incurred other income of $281,898 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $496 for the three months ended April 30, 2011. The increase in other income is attributable primarily to realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $327,157 and interest income of $5,672.

 

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $107,657 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, as compared to $64,559 for the same period ended April 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue generated from our operations during the three months ended April 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, we generated net income of $334,965 as compared to a net income of $190,331 for the same period ended April 30, 2011.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $329,536, which consisted primarily of net income of $281,319, an increase in income tax payable of 112,644, depreciation of $28,051, and an increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $19,010, offset by an decrease in deposits and other receivables of $441,492 and realized gain on sale of marketable securities of $386,030.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $380,273, which consisted primarily of net income of $190,331, a decrease of accounts receivables of $106,506, an increase in income tax payable of $88,497, and depreciation of $17,451 offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $19,525, and a decrease in deposits and other receivables of $10,262.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $1,547,555, consisting primarily of proceeds derived from the sale of marketable securities of $3,114,660, cash held by our newly acquired subsidiary Max Trend International and proceeds from the disposal of plant and equipment of $9,036, offset by the purchase of marketable securities of $2,653,208, payments made on investment deposits of $1,774,961 (which is the deposit made in connection with our anticipated Dunford purchase) and deposits of $406,627 made in connection with our anticipated land purchases in Malaysia.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $1,037,451, $969,022 of which was attributable to the purchase of marketable securities and $68,429 to the purchase of plant and equipment.

 

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $8,529,453, consisting proceeds in the amount of $7,023,820 from the sale of our securities and advances from Mr. Wong, our Chief Executive Officer and director in the amount of $5,355, offset by advances to related parties made in connection with the formation of new subsidiaries in the amount of $2,758 and repayment of $4,151 on a finance lease.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,843,544, consisting primarily of $4,800,000 from the sale of our common stock, $47,835 of advances from Mr. Wong, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and offset by repayments of $4,291 on a finance lease.

 

Funding Requirements. We incurred a conditional obligation of approximately $19.9 million related to the consummation of our real estate purchases. We have paid all amounts due to consummate our palm oil plantation acquisition and expect to acquire VSSB by the end of our third fiscal quarter. We also expect to consummate our real estate acquisitions by the end of the third calendar quarter of 2012.

 

30
 

We also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a large accelerated filer, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and increased professional fees.

 

Our cash balance as of April 30, 2012, was approximately $9.2 million. Consistent with past practice, we hope to obtain the necessary additional financing from our shareholders, executive officers and directors or through external financing. We are currently conducting internal discussions to obtain the necessary financing, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms to consummate our real estate acquisitions.

 

If we fail to consummate the acquisition of our real estate parcels, we will forfeit our deposits of MYR 1,260,000 and 5,500,000. We believe that the net proceeds from our recent private placement transactions, together with our existing cash, will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of calendar 2012 if we are not required to consummate our real estate acquisitions. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, especially if we acquire one or more businesses or choose to expand our product development efforts more rapidly than we presently anticipate. In addition, we may decide to raise additional funds even before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. In such event, we may finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. We may also seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain one or more credit facilities. We do not currently have any commitments for future internal or external funding.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

lUse of estimates

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

lBasis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries and VIE. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of companies acquired are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition using the acquisition method.

31
 

The Company has adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810-10-25, “Variable Interest Entities” (“ASC 810-10-25”). ASC 810-10-25 requires a variable interest entity or VIE to be consolidated by the Company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

 

On July 8, 2011, the Company, through VSSB, entered into a Land Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an independent third party to purchase four parcels of palm oil plantation land in a purchase price consideration of $8,012,084 (equivalent to MYR24,425,640) with a refundable deposit of $801,208 equal to 10% of its purchase price consideration. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the completion of the purchase transaction is subject to final approval from the local government and local regulatory agency. Also, the Company, through VSSB agreed to lease from the land owner and manage these four parcels of the palm oil plantation land with a monthly rental amount of $12,705 (equivalent to MYR 40,000) for a term of 12 months under an operating lease agreement, subject to automatic termination upon the completion of the Purchase Agreement.

 

On August 29, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UHT, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with the shareholders of VSSB, who are considered as related parties. Mr. Weng Kung Wong, the Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and Mr. Kok Wai Chai, a director of the Company’s subsidiary, are the shareholders and directors of VSSB. Pursuant to the MOU, the shareholders of VSSB mutually agreed to transfer all of their issued shares of VSSB to the Company, through UHT, upon the following conditions:

 

1. the Company agreed to advance or continue to advance a sum equivalent to the purchase price or part thereof to complete the Purchase Agreement, and

 

2. the shareholders of VSSB agreed to transfer their entire equity interest to the Company, upon the completion of the Purchase Agreement and the successful registration of the transfer of the land titles in favor of VSSB.

 

Management believes that all these contractual agreements with VSSB and the land owners are in compliance with laws of Malaysia and are legally enforceable.

 

With the above agreements, the Company has variable interest of VSSB, through UHT, including its financial interest and demonstrates its ability to control VSSB as a primary beneficiary. Under ASC 810-10-25, VSSB is considered a variable interest entity and its operating results are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period presented. VSSB incurred an operating loss of $66,901 during the six months ended April 30, 2012.

 

As of April 30, 2012, the deposit of $801,208 on the land purchase is considered as non-current asset, accordingly. Purchase deposit is recorded when payment is made by the Company. The remaining balances were subsequently settled in May 2012 and the transfer of land title is expected to be completed in the next twelve months.

 

lAcquisition loss

 

Acquisition loss represents the deficit from the calculation based on assumed net liabilities and the purchase price.

 

At the date of acquisition, the Company has recognized a net loss on the acquisition of Max Trend.

 

32
 

 

lCash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial institution in Malaysia. As of April 30, 2012, the Company has cash concentration risk of $7,970,752 which is held by Malayan Banking Berhad in Malaysia.

 

lMarketable securities, available-for-sale

 

Marketable securities include equity securities and cash management fund are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at their fair market values with the corresponding unrealized holding gains or losses, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. The fair value of marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet dates. Realized gains and losses are determined by the difference between historical purchase price and gross proceeds received when the marketable securities are sold.

 

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (consistent with the Level 1 definition in the fair value hierarchy) and other significant observable inputs (consistent with the Level 2 definition in the fair value hierarchy) to measure the fair value of equity securities and cash management fund, respectively, on a recurring basis pursuant to the ASC Topic 820.

 

lAccounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented.

 

lDeposits on plantation purchase

 

Deposits on plantation purchase represented refundable deposit payment for the purchase of four parcels of palm oil plantation land, which were interest-free and unsecured. Purchase deposits are recorded when payment is made by the Company and capitalized as fixed assets when the transfer of the land titles is successfully registered in favor of the Company. As of April 30, 2012, the purchase contract has been signed and the transfer of the land titles will be completed in the next twelve months.

 

lPlant and equipment

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

 

  Expected useful life
Office furniture and equipment 10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Computer equipment 3 years

 

33
 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 was $14,264 and $10,938, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 was $28,051 and $17,451, respectively.

 

lImpairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets primarily include deposits on plantation purchase and plant and equipment. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the years or periods presented.

 

lFinance leases

 

Leases that transfer substantially all of the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, “Imputation of Interest”.

 

As of April 30, 2012, the Company has one motor vehicle under finance lease included in plant and equipment with its carrying value of $86,347.

 

lRevenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Company’s sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

 

(a) Software sales

 

The Company generally sells the software products in an arrangement that is bundled with maintenance and support service and/or website development service, based upon the customers’ specification or modification.

 

The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. For the billed software product sales, the revenue from the undelivered element is included in deferred revenue and amortized ratably to revenue over its contractual term, typically one year.

34
 

Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.

 

Revenues from the provision of website development service including website design and development are recognized upon the ownership and operating rights of website domain are transferred to the customers.

 

Revenues from the provision of maintenance and support service are recognized when service rendered, which consist of technical support and software upgrades and enhancements. The Company generally offers maintenance and support service to its customers for a period of twelve months, free of charge or at a monthly fixed fee. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance from the customers of delivering maintenance and support service is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when the related service is rendered.

 

(b) Luxury consumer products

 

The Company earns the revenue from trading of luxury consumer products. Revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped and delivered to the customers, assuming no significant the Company’s obligations remain and the collection of relevant receivables is probable.

 

(c) Plantation sales

 

The Company offers two types of plantation products comprising of palm oil products and castor products.

 

Revenue from the sale of palm oil product is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of fresh fruit bunches and shipment to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from castor products includes sale of seeding and rendering of technical know-how under a bundled sales arrangement. The Company adopts ASC 985-20 and allocates the total arrangement fee among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value of each element to the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. Sale of castor oilseeds is recognized when legal title passes to the customer, which is generally upon delivery of oilseeds. Rendering of technical know-how service is recognized when the principal terms of the service agreement are fulfilled and the certificate of satisfaction is confirmed by the customers.

 

lCost of revenues

 

Cost of revenue on software sales primarily includes the purchase cost of software products and the labor cost incurred in the modifications, customization and enhancement of software products, the development of websites and maintenance and support services. All costs are expensed off when the title of software products and its related website domain are transferred to the customer. The cost incurred in website development is not capitalized because the ownership and operating right of its website domain is vested on the customer, not the Company itself.

 

The cost of software products is not capitalized because of the related party nature of the development and the quickly changing software market.

 

Cost of revenue on sales of luxury consumer products primarily consists of the purchase cost of luxury consumer products.

 

Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes rental on plantation land, material supplies and subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the palm oil tree. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

lComprehensive income

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and available-for-sale marketable securities. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

lIncome taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of April 30, 2012, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

lForeign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, which is Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries or VIE maintain their books and record in a local currency, MYR or Renminbi (“RMB”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

36
 

 

Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

  April 30,
  2012   2011
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate 3.0486   2.9618
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate 3.0987   3.0731
Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate 6.3335   6.4995
Period-average RMB : US$1 exchange rate 6.3380   6.6051

 

lRelated parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

lSegment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

 

lFair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, income tax payable, amount due to a director, amount due to a related party, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices for interest rates on similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under a finance lease approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s assets as of April 30, 2012 grouped by the categories described above:

 

                       
     

Quoted prices in active markets

(Level 1)

 

Significant other observable inputs

(Level 2)

 

Significant unobservable inputs

(Level 3)

 
                         
Securities available-for-sale       $ 3,705,783   $ 504,391   $ -  
                                 

 

Marketable securities available-for-sale were valued at the closing prices quoted on the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market with which the security is traded.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follows:

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively. The adoption has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 4                   Controls and Procedures  

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of April 30, 2012, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Inherent Limitations

 

Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
