Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Fuda Group (USA) Corporation (“Fuda USA”) was incorporated on September 25, 2014 under the laws of the state of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

 

On September 28, 2015, Fuda USA entered into stock-for-stock acquisition agreements with each of Fuda Gold (UK) Limited (“Fuda UK”) and Marvel Investment Corporation Limited (“Marvel”). As a result of the Acquisitions, each of Fuda UK and Marvel has been acquired by Fuda USA, and now each has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuda USA. Fuda USA, as the surviving entity from the Acquisitions, has taken over the respective operations and business plans of each of both Fuda UK and Marvel (and also of Liaoning Fuda by virtue of Marvel’s ownership of Liaoning Fuda). Refer to “Principal of Consolidation” under Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fuda UK a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales was incorporated in May 20, 2015. Since its inception, Fuda UK has conducted minimal business operations but has started to purchase gold stones and powder and wholesale trading of gold bars. Fuda UK has executed a cooperative operation agreement to filter and sort gold sands or gold dust from the gold mine tailings and to sell the goods under a profit sharing ratio.

 

Marvel Investment Corporation Limited was incorporated on October 28, 2009 under the laws of Hong Kong, PRC. The Company was established to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Marvel has conducted limited business operations in trading graphite and fluorite.

 

On February 28, 2015, Marvel entered into an Equity Interest Transfer Agreement with Liaoning Fuda Mining Co., Ltd (“Liaoning Fuda”) whereas Marvel agreed to acquire 100% equity interest in Liaoning effective June 30, 2015. Both Marvel and Liaoning Fuda are under common control of the same shareholder and no consideration was given in exchange for the equity interest in Liaoning Fuda. The acquisition was done to position Liaoning Fuda in a more favorable tax position under the laws of Hong Kong, PRC. Refer to “Principal of Consolidation” under Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Liaoning Fuda was established in August 2012 in Dandong City, Liaoning Province, China (“PRC”) with authorized capital of 60 million Chinese Yuan. Liaoning Fuda is a natural resource trading company that consists of raw blocks, stone carvings, slabs, pavers and wall claddings.

 

Fuda USA and its subsidiaries Marvel, Fuda UK, and Liaoning Fuda shall be collectively known as the “Company”.

 

  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

 

The Company’s financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

 

 

 

Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date, and the unaudited condensed financial information of the Company as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016, has been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article8-03 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information.

 

In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on April 22, 2016.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income or losses.

 

Principal of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Acquisition of Fuda UK and Marvel by Fuda USA

 

The acquisition was accounted under US GAAP as a business combination under reverse acquisition with Fuda UK and Marvel being the acquirers and Fuda USA being the acquiree as shares were issued by the public entity to acquire an interest in a larger privately owned entity; thereafter the shareholders of the privately owned entity became the controlling interest of the public entity. The consolidated financial statements have been presented at historical costs and on a retroactive basis to reflect the capital structure of Fuda UK and Marvel. The share exchange transaction was completed and effective on September 28, 2015 and Fuda UK and Marvel became subsidiaries of Fuda USA.

 

Acquisition of Liaoning Fuda by Marvel

 

The acquisition was accounted under US GAAP as a business combination under common control with Marvel being the acquirer as both entities were owned by the same shareholder. The consolidated financial statements have been presented at historical costs and on a retroactive basis. No purchase price or reverse merger accounting methods were used. The business combination transaction was completed and effective on June 30, 2015 and Liaoning became a subsidiary of Marvel.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those results.

 

 

 

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consist of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Fair Value Measurements 

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements.  ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

-         Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

-         Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

-         Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of the balance sheet date.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of Fuda Group (USA) Corporation is the US Dollar (“US$”).

The functional currency of Liaoning Fuda is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and its local currency is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). 

The functional currency of Marvel is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and its local currency is Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”).

The functional currency of Fuda UK is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and its local currency is British Pounds (“GBP”).

 

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.

 

 

 

 

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheets.

 

Exchange rate used for the translation as follows:

 

   March 31,   March 31,   December 31, 
RMB to US$  2016   2014   2015 
Period end spot rate   0.15468    0.16369    0.15411 
Average periodic rate   0.15288    0.16275    N/A 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to accounts receivable.

  

Bad debt expenses were $nil and $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which are primarily comprised of goods for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The Company evaluates the need for reserves associated with obsolete, slow-moving and non-salable inventory by reviewing net realizable values on a periodic basis.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, at original cost, over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Machinery 5 years
Office equipment 5 years
Motor Vehicle 10 years

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the expected useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred while major replacements and improvements are capitalized.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived assets

 

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred.

 

Segment Information

 

The standard, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” codified with ASC-280, requires certain financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment of an enterprise. The Company believes that it operates in one business segment (marketing and sales) and in one geographical segment (China), as all of the Company’s current operations are carried in China.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impacts on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

 

 

 

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new consolidation standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

  

The Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

12.GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTION PLAN

 

Pursuant to the laws applicable to PRC law, the Company is required to participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain retirement, medical and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The relevant local labor bureau is responsible for meeting all retirement benefit obligations; the Company has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution.

 

13.STATUTORY RESERVE

 

Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, the Company must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC ("PRC GAAP") at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulate loss.

 

 

 

 

The PRC regulations also restrict the ability of the Company to make dividend and other payments to offshore entities or individuals. The PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by the Company only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP and regulations. Any limitations on the ability of the Company to transfer funds could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to the Company’s business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct the Company’s business.

  

14.INCOME TAXES

 

United States

 

Fuda USA is established in the State of Delaware in United States and is subject to Delaware State and US Federal tax laws. Fuda USA has approximately $738,893 of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. The benefit from the carry forward of such NOLs will begin expiring during the year ended December 31, 2034. Because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOLs for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur in the Company as it continues to raise additional capital. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOLs for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain.

 

United Kingdom

 

Fuda UK is established in United Kingdom and its income is subject to a 20% profit tax rate for income sourced within the country. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Fuda UK did not earn any income derived in United Kingdom, and therefore was not subject to United Kingdom Profits Tax.

 

Hong Kong

 

Marvel is established in Hong Kong and its income is subject to a 16% profit tax rate for income sourced within the country. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Marvel did not earn any income derived in Hong Kong, and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax.

Concentration and Credit risk

 

Cash deposits with banks are held in financial institutions in China, which are not federally insured deposit protection. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to these uninsured bank deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.

 

The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for its products. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration risk related to these suppliers. Failure to maintain existing relationships with our suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to obtain products sold to customers in a timely manner. If the Company is unable to obtain ample supply of products from existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, the Company may be unable to satisfy our customers’ orders, which could materially and adversely affect revenues.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in September 2014 and was formerly known as Spruce Valley Acquisition Corporation. In September 2015, the Company acquired each of Fuda Gold (UK) Limited, a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Fuda UK”), and Marvel Investment Corporation Limited, a private company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Marvel”), in separate stock-for-stock acquisitions.

 

Prior to the Acquisitions, the Company had no ongoing business or operations and was established for the purpose of completing a business combination with a target company, such as Fuda UK and Marvel. Accordingly, the business of the Company is now that of Fuda UK and Marvel (and of Liaoning Fuda by virtue of Marvel’s ownership of Liaoning Fuda), each of which was acquired by the Company in the Acquisitions.

 

After the Acquisition, the Company and its subsidiaries operate as a natural resource trading company that consists of granite and marble (raw blocks, stone carvings, slabs, pavers, wall claddings) fluorite (rocks), graphite (rocks), gold and precious metal (sand, rocks, bars) in China.

 

References to the financial condition and performance of the Company below in this section “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” are to Liaoning Fuda Mining Co. Ltd, Fuda UK and Marvel respectively.

 

Operations

 

Since 2013, the Company is a natural resource trading company that consists of raw blocks, stone carvings, slabs, pavers, granite and wall claddings in China.

 

In 2015, the Company has started conducting limited business operations in trading graphite, fluorite and gold.

 

In 2015, the Company has executed a cooperative operation agreement to filter and sort gold sands or gold dust from the gold mine tailings owned by the Chinese government with the intention to sell the goods under a profit sharing ratio. The cooperative agreement indicated the profit sharing is based on the gross sales price for the products sold and the ratios are to be 25% to mine owner, 35% to mine workers, and 40% to the Company. The Company shall collect payments from the customers for the goods sold and distribute the gross amount upon payment from the customers. The Company is responsible for managing the day to day operation activities in providing labor, tools, and equipment. At Sale, the Company is only entitled to 40% of the proceeds when the goods are sold similar to a royalty interest or net smelter interest, and the payments are only legally owed when the goods are sold while nothing is owed to the Company until completion of the sale. The Company has yet to generate revenues from such operation.

 

Besides the operations above, the Company’s subsidiary Liaoning Fuda also purchased the titles to land use right surrounding the mines for investment purposes.

 

The Company’s management believes that the market demand for natural resources, such as gold, granite and marble, will continue to increase. Gold and other precious metals are commodities and will thereby experience times of high and low trading values, but the demand for it as a commodity would be ever present. The same could be said for granite and marble, which would be additionally affected by the economy in terms of the construction industry.

 

As for the Company’s diversification into marble and granite industry, the Company is executing plans to acquire an open-pit granite mine that employs saw-cutting methods to remove large granite blocks from the quarry. In addition, the Company is also preparing to further process the raw blocks into slabs, pavers, wall claddings, and carvings. These products can be sold to government agencies for infrastructure projects, corporations, granite processing plants, civil engineering companies as well renovation companies.

 

 

 

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company effected 100-for-41 reverse stock split of all 258,339,773 of its then outstanding common stock at the record date of October 1, 2015 resulting in 105,919,309 shares outstanding. The Stockholders approved the reverse stock split at a Special Meeting of Stockholders on October 1, 2015. All references to common stock and per share amounts for all prior periods presented have been retroactively presented to reflect the reverse share split.

 

Registration Statement

 

The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for the offer and sale of 135,954,309 shares of common stock, as follows: (a) 30,000,000 Shares offered by the Company and (b) 105,954,309 shares offered by the holders (the “Selling Shareholders”) thereof. No public market currently exists for our common stock. The information contained in that registration statement is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Shareholders but will receive the proceeds from the sale of the 30,000,000 shares offered by it. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the shares, minus expenses and commissions, if any, to purchase fund capital development and for general corporate purposes.

 

Property

 

The Company currently has the following physical locations and respective lease arrangements:

 

The Company’s USA office is located at 48 Wall Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10005, USA.

 

The Company’s China Head office is located at 903-904 Ling Hang International, Guang Qu Men Nei, Dong Cheng District, Beijing, China

 

The Company’s China Regional office is located at 12th Floor, 100 Jin Jiang Street, Dandong City, Liaoning Province, China. The Company’s China office consists of approximately 5000 square feet of office space leased on a 3 years’ basis at approximately $5,250 (RMB 33,333) per month. 

 

The Company’s Hong Kong office is located at Room 801-2, 8/F., Easey Commercial Building, 253-261 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

 

The Company’s  UK office is located at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7G

 

If the Company were forced to relocate, it believes it could obtain an equally satisfactory location at a comparable price.

 

The Company currently owns land use rights to 8 parcels of lands surrounding the mines for investment purposes, containing a total of approximately 21.56 million square feet of land.

 

Subsidiaries

 

The Company’s subsidiaries are: Marvel Investment Corporation Limited (and its subsidiary Liaoning Fuda Mining Co., Ltd) and Fuda Gold (UK) Limited.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Equipment Financing

 

The Company has no existing equipment financing arrangements.

 

 

 

 

Potential Revenue

 

The Company expects to earn potential revenue from existing customers and product sales and refining and trading activities. The Company prospects for new clients on an ongoing basis and also seeks additional revenue enhancement opportunities from existing clients. The Company will be also expanding its portfolio of products.

 

Alternative Financial Planning

 

The Company has no alternative financial plans. If the Company is not able to successfully raise monies as needed through a private placement or other securities offering (including, but not limited to, a primary public offering of securities), the Company’s ability to expand its business plan or strategy over the next two years will be jeopardized.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In 2013 and 2014, the Company has executed short term accounts receivables factoring agreements with the banks with maturity from 1 to 3 months. The bank would advance the Company at contracted discount percentage of 70%-85% of the accounts receivable invoices factored up front and charge a contracted interest fee at average rate of 2%-4% based on the percentage advanced. The discount is recognized as financing interest expense. When the outstanding accounts receivable invoice is collected, the advanced amount plus any accrued interest are repaid.

The Company also recognized interest expenses on the financing loans in the amount of $1,363 and $nil, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively

 

As at December 31, 2015, the Directors of the Company have repaid the outstanding trade financing loans on behalf of the Company which increased amounts due to related party.

 

The Company’s proposed expansion plans and business process improvements described above will necessitate additional capital and financing. Accordingly, the Company plans to raise outside funding in order to achieve its expanded growth and profit objectives in its business over the next two years. The monies raised will be utilized for general operations, working capital, acquisition of mines, acquisition of gold sorting and refining facilities and acquisition of granite and marble processing facilities.

 

 

 

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital, or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. Accordingly, given the Company’s limited cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company will be unable to implement its contemplated business plans and operations unless it obtains additional financing or otherwise is able to generate sufficient revenues and profits. The Company may raise additional capital through sales of debt or equity, obtain loan financing or develop and consummate other alternative financial plans.

 

The ability of the Company’s Chinese Subsidiary-Liaoning Fuda to pay dividends, royalties, management fees, etc may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balance of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. A majority of our revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in RMB, which is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, we may unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into US Dollars. Accordingly, Liaoning Fuda funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash obligations.
